YES I CAMP 's tips for choosing the right campsite when you want to please your children!


1) Opt for a car-free campsite or one with pedestrian zones, so your child can move around and play safely.

2) Choose a campsite with heated toilets or plan for a solar shower; children, especially the youngest ones, can easily get cold, even in summer.

3) Choose a pitch , mobile home , lodge tent , chalet or bungalow close to the sanitary facilities; this will avoid many trips back and forth, which are often unpleasant for children.

4) Remember to bring microfiber towels , they are ideal for camping, they take up very little space and dry very quickly, children love them.

5) Enroll them in the kids' club , which offers activities and outings throughout the day with dedicated staff. The program includes arts and crafts, preparing shows they can perform for their parents at the end of their stay, trips to the beach, pony rides, sports competitions, treasure hunts, dressing up, face painting, singing… everything is planned to delight them!

Their evenings will also be lively. Actors or spectators, they will be amazed by the magic or dance shows, and some campsites even have a mini-disco!

At the campsite you will never hear: "Mom, Dad, I'm bored…!"

YES I CAMP offers a selection of campsites with fantastic kids' clubs. Going to the club is the perfect place to make friends!

6) Children love to be active. They obviously appreciate having a playground, a climbing wall, a swimming pool with slides , or even a water park!

7) Explore the region in a fun and engaging way with the geocaching app . You'll find pre-planned routes, and with the help of clues and the built-in compass, you'll set off in a spirit of excitement to search for hidden treasure. Children love searching for and solving mysterious puzzles.

8) Feel free to bring your own bikes or rent them locally; children love riding bicycles, especially as a family!

9) Don't forget your pétanque balls ! Each campsite has a designated area for them. Young and old alike can enjoy a friendly game of "pointing and shooting"!

10) Plan board games for rainy days and play with your children, it's an opportunity to share good times with them!
