Wide variety of campsites: from mini to mega

Everyone has a different idea of the perfect camping holiday, and that's a good thing. Because in the camping world, the possibilities are endless. From primitive to super luxurious, from colossal campsites to charming mini-campsites. There is something for everyone and every type of campsite has its advantages.

The beauty of a small campsite

The first thing people think of when they hear 'mini-campsite' is 'nice and quiet'. Most people go to a mini-campsite for peace and privacy. A mini-campsite has a limited number of pitches, so you are guaranteed not to be crammed together.

Mini-campsites are often found in the most beautiful spots, tucked away in nature. What also greatly enhances a mini-campsite is the wonderfully intimate atmosphere. Because you are essentially allowed to camp on a piece of land belonging to an owner. Cosy on the farmyard with the farmer or someone with a large piece of land that is maintained by themselves. This makes you truly feel like a guest, making the atmosphere much more intimate.

What one person might find annoying, another might see as a positive aspect. Usually, you won't find Wi-Fi at these types of campsites. Additionally, there won't be many new friends for the children. So, it's all a bit more primitive.

Take a look at Les Fayes in France. This mini-campsite offers space for approximately 6 pitches for a maximum of 20 people. In the middle of nature for a peaceful and intimate experience.

The conviviality of a large campsite

In contrast to the mini-campsite, there is always something organized at the large campsite. From sports competitions to music evenings, there is always entertainment thanks to an animation team. If you really enjoy conviviality and company, people often choose a large campsite. For the kids, there are plenty of holiday friends to keep them entertained all day. Secretly, this is also nice for the parents, as they don't have to look after the kids for a while.

The facilities are often more extensive. For example, there is always a swimming pool with slides or a large playground. In addition, you can often grab a snack at the campsite, which is also part of a holiday. Some campsites even have a restaurant or a catering square with a cafe! If you want to get started yourself, there are sometimes small supermarkets or bakeries available.

For some, all this hustle and bustle can be too much, others will enjoy it immensely. You certainly won't get bored quickly at a large campsite. The facilities are enormous, just like the campsite itself.

For example, check out Camping Domaine de la Yole in France. The large campsite offers endless family fun, from mini-golf to a swimming paradise to a wine tasting.

All in all, there is no better or worse, it's just a matter of what your preference is. Do you enjoy a more primitive holiday where you can completely retreat into nature? Then the mini-campsite is the best option for you. Do you enjoy a more social and cozy holiday where the whole family can be entertained? Then the large campsite is a good option for you!
