What CampingFrance.com does

CampingFrance.com, operated by Régicamp SAS (Paris; share capital €1,860,000; principal shareholders Sophia Communication and the Fédération Française de Camping-Caravaning), is the largest publicly disclosed online directory of French campgrounds, listing 8,071 sites across 18 regions and 96 departments. The web platform enables consumers to search by geography (region, department, map) and by curated themes — beach access, heated/covered pools, wellness facilities, mini-clubs, water parks, unusual accommodations, eco-friendly sites, luxury rentals, year-round openings, and Accueil Vélo labelling — and supports French and Spanish (es.campingfrance.com) interfaces. A parallel B2B portal, Espace Pro, allows campsite operators to self-declare and update listings and to purchase advertising placements via the 'service publicité' (Laurent Chouquet, Directeur de la publicité).

The product surface is essentially that of a content-led publisher rather than an online travel agency: discovery and curation are on-platform, but bookings are not transacted there. Revenue mechanics rest on two pillars — (i) advertising sales to campsite operators (chains such as Capfun, Yelloh! Village, Sandaya, and Homair/Marvilla Parks) and (ii) subscription-style services in Espace Pro for listing management — supplemented by affiliate-style 'Bons Plans' deal content. Governance, ownership, and branding are tightly tied to the FFCC federation, and the operator runs related directory sub-brands (Les Plus Beaux Campings, Camping-Car.com, OT-Campings) that extend reach into adjacent outdoor-accommodation niches. The platform is GDPR/RGPD-compliant via a TCF-compliant CMP (CNIL declaration No. 150168) and is staffed by ~11–50 FTEs across editorial, advertising sales, account management, and commercial operations.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Tripadvisor: Global travel research platform featuring French campground listings, reviews, and advertising. Comparable as a top-of-funnel discovery competitor for vacation planning and a potential threat as it expands its lodging supplier base to include more campgrounds.
• Booking.com: Global OTA with extensive French and European lodging supply, including campgrounds and holiday parks with instant booking. Comparable as a competing discovery-and-booking destination for French travelers planning camping trips, even though camping is a small subset of its overall portfolio.

Direct peers

• Pitchup.com: UK-founded pan-European online booking and directory platform for campsites, glamping sites, and caravan parks. Comparable because it positions itself as a discovery+booking destination for European camping travelers and competes for the same French/European operator advertising and commission budgets.
• Camping-and-Co: France-based online camping booking platform operated by the Homair/Marvilla Parks/Sandaya groups, offering both directory-style discovery and direct booking of French campgrounds with thousands of listings. Directly comparable because it competes for the same audience and operator budgets in the French camping directory/marketplace category.
• Eurocampings / Eurocampings.eu: Long-running pan-European online directory of campsites and holiday parks, searchable by country/region with operator listing services. A direct competitor for the same audience researching European camping options, including French destinations.
• Camping.info (ACSI): ACSI's pan-European camping directory and review platform covering 9,000+ campsites across multiple countries with an editorial-driven, federation-style positioning. Directly comparable to CampingFrance.com's directory model, European coverage, and reliance on advertising and operator subscriptions.

Regional players

• Campings.com: Spanish-language online camping directory covering Spanish and European campsites with strong search/filtering and operator advertising tools. Comparable in product (camping directory with operator services) but primarily serves the Spanish-speaking Iberian market rather than France directly.

Emerging players

• ToCamp: European campsite search and review community with editorial content and thematic filters. Comparable in functionality (searchable camping directory organized by region and theme) though it serves a more enthusiast/forums-oriented audience than CampingFrance.com.
• Vacanceselect / Vacances-campeés.com: European operator of campsites and marketer of campsite holidays with online booking and directory-style presentation of its own portfolio and partner sites. Comparable because it sits on the operator side of the same value chain and competes for traveler attention across Europe.

Others

• ANCV (Agence Nationale pour les Chèques-Vacances): French government-affiliated agency distributing holiday vouchers and curating a directory of partner accommodations including campsites. Comparable because it channels French vacationer demand and overlaps on discovery/affinity of campsite stays, but operates as an institutional ecosystem participant rather than a commercial directory.
