Highlights of a French camping getaway with sailing activities
Some of the great highlights of placing sailing at the heart of your camping holiday.
Water lovers are spoilt for choice
When booking a campsite with sailing facilities, you will find a wide variety of options all across France to choose from. You’ll notice a strong focus on coastlines due to ocean access, but your camping holiday can also include locations on lakes or rivers, opening up a world of watery fun.
A variety of sailing disciplines
Some campsites that offer sailing facilities offer a choice of sailing disciplines. While not all sites allow yachting, you can definitely still get wet with a spot of windsurfing, canoeing or kayaking, as well as whitewater rafting for the daredevils.
Water-based sports beyond sailing
With sailing at the centre of this camping trip, why not expand and include some other water-based sports in your itinerary? Explore locations such as Saint-Raphaël and Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez that offer fishing and surfing with lessons for the kids to get used to being in the water.
Take the family out on a horse-riding trail
Many campsites offer an opportunity to take a horse out for a ride around the trails of the region to enjoy the natural surroundings. Explore the woodlands of Canet-en-Roussillon or the rocky coast and sandy beaches of Vendée on the back of your gentle steed.
Enjoy coastal views from above while paragliding
Due to breathtaking locations near coastlines, your camping site with sailing facilities will often have additional entertainment and fun activities. Try your hand at something new like kite-surfing! Or why not look into paragliding in the Crozon peninsula? Perhaps the ecosystem of Corsica is more your thing for a really spectacular view of the region.
Visit local wildlife parks
Take a trip out from your campsite and spend the day visiting the local wildlife park enjoying exotic animals. Usually a short drive around 1-10 miles from your campsite, you can experience great wildlife parks in Saint-Michel-en-l’Herm, Les Sables-d’Olonne or Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue.
Top-class swimming and wellness facilities
If you’re a sailing enthusiast, you will no doubt be comfortable around all sorts of water, making swimming a great addition to your holiday itinerary. You can be sure that your campsite with sailing facilities will offer superior swimming pools and hydro-centric amenities right on your doorstep. Heated pools, Jacuzzis and waterparks are quite standard with the higher-star-rated campsites.
Wellness and health benefits included
Campsites that offer sailing facilities are often top-rated, offering fantastic additional amenities such as a wellness centre and health therapies. With Turkish baths, solariums, massage, beauty treatments and much more available, look for campsites with pampering centres that also suit your sailing schedule.
