Be quick: in popular periods the top-rated campsites fill up first. So book quickly or switch to the shoulder season for more choice and lower prices.

When is the best time to visit France?

Most campsites in France are open from spring through autumn. Peak season is July and August: that's when it's busiest, warmest and most expensive. Book well in advance for that period, especially at the most popular campsites.

For more quiet and softer prices, the shoulder season (May, June, September) is attractive: pleasant weather, fine scenery and plenty of pitch choice.

How this ranking is built

The order in France is set by review score: the higher the rating, the higher in the list. We include only rated campsites and rebuild the list periodically from the latest data.

Ovisola maps campsites, motorhome pitches and chalets, searchable by type and amenities. Bookable campsites are reserved directly with the campsite via our partner; the broader coverage comes from OpenStreetMap contributors.
