Family camping, the Sunêlia Vacances way
Which luxury rental should you choose at a family campground?
Looking for premium accommodations? Our high-end campgrounds offer fully equipped mobile homes for families of all sizes. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, a family of four, or a group of ten, everyone can enjoy their own privacy while sharing truly memorable moments together. On the covered patio, challenge each other to card games, linger over drinks until nightfall, and laugh at the youngest child’s jokes. Some accommodations offer a view of the sea, others of the mountains or a lake, so you can wake up every morning in an idyllic setting.
At a Sunêlia family campground, everything is designed to make daily life easier: a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a master suite, and comfortable living spaces. Depending on the resort, hotel-style services can enhance your stay, such as beds made upon arrival, end-of-stay cleaning, or bed linens provided. All that’s left to do is open the door, take a deep breath, and enjoy your vacation.
In the mood for adventure? Reserve a spacious, shaded site to set up your family tent or park your RV. Bring out the chairs and table, and enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest.
The Kids’ Club: A Paradise for Little Campers
Want to treat your kids? Sign them up for the Sunny Club at our campground with a kids’ club. Even the shyest kids often come back with a smile after their first day.
Children are divided into age groups to enjoy age-appropriate activities:
- The Baby Club for babies ages 0 to 4,
- The Sunny Club for children ages 4 to 12,
- The Teen’s Club for teens ages 12 to 18.
The certified activity leaders at our luxury campground offer a varied program: treasure hunts, early learning games, Olympic-style competitions, scavenger hunts, and sports activities. It’s the perfect way to create wonderful memories while parents fully enjoy their stay.
Which campground should you choose based on your children's ages?
Which campground should you choose when traveling with a baby?
When traveling with a baby, a great vacation starts with a simple feeling: being able to slow down without giving up the pleasure of being outdoors. At Sunêlia, choose convenient accommodations with a fully equipped kitchen, a functional bathroom, a shaded patio, and enough space to accommodate nap times while enjoying the evening breeze.
When it comes to amenities, everything is designed to simplify daily life: a secure wading pool, shaded areas, a club tailored to toddlers (depending on the property), or hotel services that spare you from starting your vacation with a long to-do list. You move at your child’s pace, without sacrificing your own desire to relax.
As children grow older, expectations change: you’re less interested in a tightly scheduled itinerary and more in a place where they can have fun, gain independence, and create wonderful memories—all while everyone fully enjoys their vacation.
Which campground should you choose when traveling with teenagers?
With teenagers, the vacation takes on a whole new dimension. They enjoy a lively atmosphere that’s still relaxed. The Teen’s Club, multi-sport fields, water activities, and lively evening events give them the chance to meet other young people, take on new challenges, and share memorable moments before reuniting with their families at the end of the day.
For parents, this independence brings real peace of mind. Everyone enjoys their vacation at their own pace, and then the whole family naturally comes together for dinner on the terrace, a show, or a stroll as the light softens.
The Best Campgrounds for Large Families
For a large family, the best choice comes down to striking a balance between space, comfort, and simplicity. Multiple bedrooms, cozy living areas, and a large terrace make it easy for everyone to spend time together without getting in each other’s way—whether it’s over a leisurely breakfast or a game of cards at the end of the day. A campground for large families also makes it easier to organize your stay when everyone has different ages, schedules, and daily routines.
Sunêlia’s services become invaluable allies. The water park brings together young and old alike, age-specific clubs provide a structured daily routine, while on-site dining and evening entertainment simplify everyday life. Everyone has their own space, without ever losing the joy of being together.

What activities are planned at a family campsite?
Book a family campground with a water park
In the mood for some water fun? Set up camp at a campground with a water park. The stars of your vacation are, of course, the water slides that soar skyward like colorful giants. Far from being intimidated, your kids will tackle them without batting an eye. You’ll watch them go down again and again without ever getting tired. Every slide ends with a huge burst of laughter and endless splashes. The little ones can also splash around safely in the secure wading pools.
Want to relax? Some campsites with spas offer massage rooms and a spa area where you can unwind in complete tranquility. After a day of exploring, close your eyes and soak in the hot tub, or let the swan-neck waterfall massage your aching muscles.
A family campground where everyone has fun together
One, two, one, two! Where do you get all that boundless energy? In the heated outdoor pool, the energy levels ramp up every morning with aqua aerobics and muscle-toning classes.
During your vacation at a campground with activities, stay in shape with fitness classes and yoga sessions. When it comes to team sports, team spirit grows stronger with every basketball, soccer, or ping-pong tournament. On the padel courts—the campground’s newest sensation—a racket in your hand makes you look like a champion.
As soon as the sun goes down, our campsites in France and across Europe come alive with shows, cabaret performances, happy hour games, and live concerts. Our energetic teams are always brimming with ideas to engage young and old alike in unforgettable evenings.
Which destinations to choose for family camping in France?
Dordogne or Ardèche: the family camping holiday showdown
Looking for a 100% nature-focused holiday? Treat yourself to a break in the countryside at a family campsite in the Dordogne or the Centre-Val de Loire region. You'll spend your holidays visiting medieval villages and castles, fishing, and cycling through magnificent landscapes.
More tempted by the flavours of the South? Your stay will smell of lavender and cicadas in the Alpilles and the Cévennes.
Do you prefer active holidays? Go canoeing or canyoning in the Ardèche gorges.
Hautes-Alpes and Vosges, two life-size playgrounds in the mountains
Looking to get away from it all? In the Hautes-Alpes, the calm waters near your campsite on Lake Serre-Ponçon offer a welcome change from the salty sea air. Direct access to the water means you can enjoy a swim at any time, take part in a variety of water sports, or simply relax on the beach.
Lake Bouzey, in the Vosges Mountains, offers holidays immersed in nature. Summer is perfect for hiking, cycling, or boating. When the snow falls, the landscape transforms, and skiers and sledders flock to the green slopes.
Which family-friendly seaside campsite should I choose?
Mediterranean or Atlantic, seaside getaways for the whole family
Fancy a camping holiday by the sea? Treat your children to their first surfing session on the beaches of Brittany or Vendée. They'll remember this introduction, their first waves, and especially their first mouthful of water.
In the Arcachon Basin, days unfold differently, imbued with the scent of the sea. Cycling becomes the best way to explore the pine forests. The Basque Country, on the other hand, offers a blend of family hikes and swimming in Biarritz or Bidart. The renowned beaches are just as appealing as the charming villages like Espelette or Ainhoa. And at teatime, it's impossible to resist a Basque cherry cake between dips in the water.
At a campsite on the Mediterranean coast, the calmer waters of the Hérault River invite relaxation and long naps on its fine sandy beaches. Meanwhile, the villages of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, near your campsite in the south of France, reveal colorful markets nestled within lively streets.
Where to go camping in Europe with the family?
Fancy a European holiday? Cross the Alps to experience la dolce vita at a campsite in Italy near Rome or Venice. Two perfect destinations for enjoying the best pizzas of your life on a terrace. Experience both the energy of the city and the tranquility of the great outdoors, far from the hustle and bustle. Sardinia also offers a palette of blues thanks to direct access to fine sandy beaches.
The campsites on Spain's Costa Brava have plenty to offer to keep you smiling (and tanned) all summer long. Its seaside resorts, scattered along the coast, will fill you with joy. Not far from Girona or Barcelona, spend your days in flip-flops and a swimsuit, immersed in a truly Catalan atmosphere. Looking for a change of scenery? Head up into the Aragonese Pyrenees to recharge at a campsite surrounded by nature.

A kids’ club organized by age group, activities led by qualified counselors, and safe play areas are essential for a successful vacation. Also, be sure to check for a water park with slides, water play areas, and a wading pool—these are often a big hit with the youngest children.
Finally, opt for spacious accommodations with a patio so that everyone can enjoy their own space, whether it’s for reading, coloring, or playing a game of cards with the family.

You’ll enjoy self-contained accommodations with a patio and a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to plan your days at your own pace and that of your children.
