Privilege camping pitches

This innovative concept is a plot specifically designed to offer more comfort while scrupulously preserving the authenticity of a tented holiday. Traditional camping often involved sharing all the communal facilities, which could put off some travellers seeking peace and quiet.

Today, this new category offers an exclusive service integrated directly onto your plot. It is the logical and long-awaited evolution of outdoor hospitality. For nature lovers, it is the guarantee of jealously preserved privacy. Every camper can now pitch their tent or park their vehicle in a green space, generally bordered by a thick hedge of vegetation ensuring complete privacy from neighbours.

The goal is to recreate a little secret garden where local wildlife and birdsong replace the hustle and bustle of thoroughfare areas. This return to nature is achieved without any compromise on wellness services, marking a definitive break with the rustic image of bivouacking.

The size of the plot is a central element of this superior offer. A standard camping pitch often provides around 80 square metres, which can feel tight for large families.

By opting for the higher category, you will benefit from a very spacious pitch in xl or even xxl format. Establishments generally offer a guaranteed minimum surface area of 80 square metres, but some exceptional plots proudly extend up to 150 m².

This generous number of m² allows you to easily park a large vehicle, deploy huge awnings, and let children play ball or cycle safely within your own plot. It is the luxury of space, an essential advantage so as not to feel cramped and to enjoy the natural panorama without feeling as though you are camping on top of your neighbour.

The water module integrated into your pitch is built to last and offers a standard worthy of a standalone hotel room. Inside this small building you will find showers with instant hot water, a washbasin topped with a large, well-lit mirror, and modern wall-hung toilets.

The private sanitary facilities are scrupulously cleaned by the maintenance team before your arrival, guaranteeing absolute cleanliness. It is also very common for site managers to think of equipping these cabins with supplementary heaters for the cool nights of the low season, or with wall-mounted hair dryers.

Some Corsican campsites go further still and even offer modules fully adapted to PMR standards so that accessibility is total for people with reduced mobility. The private cabin thus becomes a true outdoor bathroom, sparing you from sharing your privacy with others.

The concept goes far beyond square metres and individual taps. It is an all-encompassing promise for an exceptional stay. By choosing the premium label, you very often have direct access to the site's main facilities, whether that is the sandy beach or the large water park.

Guests on these "VIP" pitches sometimes benefit from queue-jumping wristbands or dedicated concierge services at reception. Your experience becomes unforgettable because all logistical friction instantly disappears.

Staying at a 5-star campsite with such benefits is the guarantee of combining the gentle outdoor life with the excellence of hotel service. The expression luxury camping then takes on its full meaning: you live the canvas tent adventure, but with the assistance and comfort of a true Mediterranean "resort".

Prestigious chains such as Merendella and other highly reputed independent campsites have contributed significantly to democratising the premium pitch. In 2026, quality campsites have all redesigned a significant part of their landscaped grounds to incorporate premium pitches. This strategic approach aims to enhance the "nature" stay, in response to the sometimes standardised invasion of mobile homes along the coast.

These major tourism players demonstrate every season that it is entirely possible to keep the original spirit of touring holidays while offering extremely high-quality services. The integration of these luxury plots is always done in respect of the environment, with wooden sanitary cabins blending perfectly into the Corsican maquis or the Landes pine forests, without detracting from the wild beauty of the sites.

For proud owners of leisure vehicles, finding the perfect spot is a constant quest. Fortunately, the offer dedicated to motorhomes has improved considerably this year. A caravan or motorhome requires a stabilised, flat, firm surface that is above all very easy to access for manoeuvring.

A pitch specifically designed for these large vehicles often includes a hard standing to limit sinking during summer storms. Your imposing vehicle thus finds its ideal spot. Being able to connect immediately to the mains, drain the grey water without having to make the tedious trek to the shared waste point, and having your own private bathroom annexe.

This is a huge advantage for touring travellers exhausted after hours on the mountain roads of the Island of Beauty. Simply put, the guarantee of a restorative stopover and of total extended autonomy.

On this type of pitch, the electricity connection is robust and constant, often supplying a minimum of 10 amps (or even 16A depending on the amperage specified at contract signing). Do not forget to bring your own 25-metre extension lead and a European adaptor (blue plug) to connect safely to the modern hook-up points.

Beyond the power supply, the managers of these establishments make the effort to furnish the outdoor living area in a welcoming way. You will generally find a beautiful covered wooden table under a shaded thatched canopy, as well as an exclusive barbecue (gas or electric depending on fire regulations).

It is these premium amenities that make the difference compared to a standard offer, creating a truly high-end environment in the heart of wild nature.

If you are travelling as a large group or with friends, it is crucial to confirm the plot's capacity. A very large space generally accommodates up to 6 people (children and babies included, in accordance with local authority regulations). When making your booking, it is essential to specify the exact number of adults and the size of your tents so that reception can assign you the most suitable area.

It is always best to plan ahead and secure your outdoor accommodation several months in advance. Demand for a pitch with such private amenities is booming in 2026, particularly along the Corsican coast. By booking as early as November of the preceding year, you will have the luxury of choosing the orientation of your plot, its degree of sunshine and its distance from the entertainment areas.

1. Plan ahead: secure your plot in winter for the July-August period to guarantee availability of the best areas on the site.
2. Electrical equipment: never leave home without your blue European plugs and a long, safety-rated outdoor extension cable.
3. Space: take advantage of the enormous dimensions to air out your campsite and create truly separate living zones (meals, games, rest).
4. Absolute comfort: no more night-time treks with a torch — the bathroom is literally two steps from your sleeping bag.
5. Simplified logistics: the integration of covered outdoor sinks makes washing up far more pleasant and quick.

Yes, just as with a standard rental (mobile home or chalet), you are required to return the individual water cabin in the same state of cleanliness in which you found it. An end-of-stay cleaning package is, however, often offered as an option by reception to relieve you of this task on the day of your departure.

Generally, for this type of "bare" rental (where you bring your own bedding), consumables such as toilet paper, soap or cleaning products are not provided inside the cabin. You should plan to bring them in your luggage or buy them at the site's shop.

The policy regarding dogs and other pets varies depending on the establishment. However, the majority of 4 and 5-star sites offering these large plots accept dogs kept on a lead, subject to the presentation of an up-to-date vaccination record. A daily supplement is generally applied.

Yes, thanks to the very large dimensions of these plots (often exceeding 100 square metres), it is perfectly possible to pitch a main tent and one or two smaller additional tents (for teenagers, for example). The only limit is to respect the maximum capacity defined by management (often set at six holidaymakers).

No, the era of tokens for hot water is over on these superior amenities. Access to hot and cold water is unlimited and entirely included in your nightly rate. Individual water heaters guarantee constant thermal comfort for your whole family.
