Sites et Paysages: a different kind of eco-friendly camping

Back in the 1980s, a small group of passionate campsite owners imagined a new way of welcoming guests — closer to nature, more human, more local.

That’s how the first French network of campsites with a responsible approach was born, true to the spirit of eco-friendly camping, without following trends.

Today, Sites et Paysages brings together men and women who care for their environment, showcase their region, and share their slice of nature with sincerity.

Here are some of the concrete actions that bring this philosophy to life.

Everyday eco-friendly actions that make a difference!

Our owners are all endlessly inventive and full of ideas... Here are a few that we're delighted to share with you:
