Sites et Paysages: human-scale campsites for meaningful holidays

At Sites et Paysages, we believe it’s possible to travel differently. To slow down. To take the time to listen, meet others, and reconnect with nature and people.

For over 40 years, our network has brought together human-scale campsites run by families who live on site and welcome other families. Here, you stay with someone, not just in a facility.

Why Our Small-Scale Campsites Are Unique

Sites et Paysages is neither a chain nor a franchise. It is an associative network created by campsite owners, for campsite owners.

At Sites et Paysages, there are no shareholders and no commissions. Every euro paid by a guest goes directly to the campsite that welcomes them. The nonprofit association pools resources to support its members and promote a different kind of holiday: family-friendly, immersed in nature, and authentic.

This rare model allows two things:

Each campsite keeps its own personality and atmosphere.
All share a foundation of commitments that ensures consistent quality: personalized welcome, respect for nature, care for animals, and local integration.

It is this combination of diversity and shared values that makes your experience truly unique.

Small-Scale Campsites Committed to Nature

At Sites et Paysages, nature is not just a backdrop: it is the heart of every stay. We have always believed that a small-scale campsite should be a refuge for guests… and for biodiversity.

This commitment comes to life every day through our Natur’Camp charter:

Flower meadows for bees and butterflies
Birdhouses, insect hotels, and careful mowing
Composting and efficient water and energy management

These simple actions show that responsible tourism is possible. Here, your holiday takes a different pace: gentler on the planet and richer in natural discoveries.

People at the Heart of Our Campsites

In our campsites, every stay begins with a meeting. The owners welcome you in person, guide you to your pitch, check in within 24 hours, and often share a recipe, a passion, or the history of the place.

Before you leave, a note, a small gesture, or a treat helps end your stay on a sincere note.

These simple touches, experienced at each of our campsites, make all the difference. They reflect our promise of more human tourism, where you stay with someone, not in an impersonal facility.

Dogs Are Welcome at Our Small-Scale Campsites

Because holidays are best shared with loved ones, all our campsites welcome dogs, at least on the pitches. Many go further:

Dog-friendly accommodations (in all or part of the rentals)
Dedicated spaces like dog parks and dog showers
Pet-sitting services so you can explore worry-free

Here, animals are not just tolerated: they are part of the family. Staying at a small-scale campsite also means choosing a place that cares for everyone, young and old… and their companions.

Small-Scale Campsites to Explore the Regions

At Sites et Paysages, a small-scale campsite is not a destination that holds you back, but a gateway to a living region.

The owners live here year-round, know secret trails, local markets, and passionate artisans. They guide you not to the usual tourist spots, but to what makes their region quietly rich.

Across France, these men and women share what they love most: authentic places, local encounters, and experiences you won’t find in guidebooks.

Your Questions About Sites et Paysages

Sites et Paysages is neither a chain nor a franchise. Since 1982, we have been an association of committed campsite owners. Every campsite retains its own character and atmosphere, with genuinely personal service. There are no shareholders, which means every euro spent by our guests goes directly to the campsite they stay at. We pool our resources to promote the network, uphold our shared values, and support one another.

For us, a human-scale campsite is a place where the owner often lives on site, facilities remain modest yet comfortable, and every guest receives a warm, personal welcome. It is a way of camping that values time, peace and quiet, authenticity, close contact with nature, and attention to the smallest details, creating genuine connections with both the place and the people.

Respect for nature is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitments include wildflower meadows for pollinators, bird boxes and insect hotels, responsible grass cutting, water and energy conservation, and composting. These actions are not optional. They are part of the Natur’Camp charter, which every campsite in the Sites et Paysages network is committed to following.

People are at the heart of our network. You will be welcomed by available, caring owners who offer a personal welcome from the moment you arrive, whether that means helping you settle in or taking your specific needs into account. Throughout your stay, we take the time to greet you, share local recommendations, and make every farewell just as warm. We do not see you as just another customer, but as our guest.

Yes. All our campsites welcome dogs on touring pitches at the very least (for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes). Many also allow pets in some or all of their holiday accommodation. Some campsites even provide dedicated facilities, such as dog walking areas, dog parks, dog showers or pet-sitting services. We do more than simply allow pets. Here, they are part of the family.

Our campsite owners live in the regions they call home. They know the hidden trails, local craftspeople and village markets, and they are always happy to share their favourite places. Instead of standard tourist routes, we help you enjoy authentic experiences and discover the true character of each destination. Staying at a Sites et Paysages campsite means embracing meaningful encounters and genuine local life.

At the end of every stay, all our guests automatically receive a satisfaction survey. Campsite owners, together with the team coordinating the Sites et Paysages network, carefully review every piece of feedback to continuously improve the quality of the experience we provide. Online reviews on Google, TripAdvisor and other platforms also play an important role in this process.
