Have fun camping in the East of France
Every Sunelia campsite in East France is surrounded by stunning scenery and has plenty of activities to keep everyone busy. If you’re into glamping you’ll be at home at the Sunelia L’Argentière campsite, located in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in the south east of France.

The East of France is also the perfect base to visit the sophisticated city of Monaco, where you can rub shoulders with the rich and famous before returning to your luxury campsite to dream of an alternative lifestyle.
Things to do on your French camping holiday
Book a campsite near the beach
If you’re looking for a campsite with direct access to the beach you’re in the right place. Why get in the car and travel miles when you can have the beach on your doorstep?
Get up and enjoy a leisurely breakfast on your terrace then wander down to the beach for a day on the sand. Later, return to the comfort of the campsite and take a leisurely dip in one of the campsite swimming pools before enjoying a relaxing evening watching the campsite live entertainment. Camping near the beach in France gives you the best of both worlds – sea and sand and sun and swimming pools.
Lakeside and river camping for peace and tranquillity
Chill out at one of Sunelia’s campsites next to a lake in France. If you’re into watersports you can canoe, kayak and paddleboard… or just sit in your deckchair and admire the lakeside views. Our Sunelia lake and river campsites in France offer some of the best holidays by the water in Europe.
Try Sunelia Camping Le Ranc Davaine, with spectacular views and nearby activities from fishing to boat hire or cycling along the river, this is a great option for water lovers. Choosing a campsite by the water is ideal for all ages. The little ones can splash on the shore of the lake while the older members of the group can take part in their favourite watersports.
Mountain camping to get away from it all
Whether you enjoy serious hiking or a gentle stroll through the beautiful French countryside, a camping holiday in the mountains is a way to bring friends and family together. Forget everyday life and the pressure of screens and technology and take some time out to enjoy camping in Mother Nature.
Stroll through fresh pine forests, walk through spectacular scenery and more experienced walkers can follow some of the challenging mountain paths. Spend a holiday in the depths of the French countryside at a Sunelia campsite that has all the comforts of home.
