Camping on Île-de-France

The campsites in Île-de-France are spread around Paris in the north of France and, with their central location, offer an ideal starting point for visiting the capital or other cultural metropolises such as Versailles. The huge range of leisure activities and colourful entertainment in the holiday villages make camping in Île-de-France particularly popular with children. Young horse lovers, for example, can ride through wild and romantic forest and hilly landscapes.

Special features of camping in Île-de-France

The region covers a large area around Paris and promises a wide range of excursion options with its varied natural scenery of unspoilt forests, winding rivers and clear lakes. Some of the campsites in Île-de-France are located directly in Paris and invite you to enjoy a cultural holiday in green oases in the middle of the metropolis. If you want to park your caravan in a rural setting, choose a resort in one of the nature parks. The Haute-Vallée-de-Chevreuse nature park to the south-west of Versailles is particularly beautiful. Here, the panorama alternates between dreamy villages, lush river valleys and protected forest areas where deer and wild boar roam freely.
