You're planning your next camping holiday, but there's one question on your mind: what do the famous stars on a campsite mean? Sunêlia can tell you more about this French classification, which guarantees a certain level of quality and facilities.
Awarding of stars
The first thing you need to know is that it is not compulsory for campsites to be awarded stars. This classification is voluntary. Each establishment must apply to Atout France, France's tourism development agency. A grid of over 200 criteria determines the classification of campsites in France, ranging from 1 to 5 stars. The stars are awarded to indicate the diversity and quality of a campsite's services. Regular checks on the campsite site ensure that the classification is highly reliable.
Stars in practice
Let's find out what each new star awarded to a campsite means:
- 1 star: this is the most economical range in the classification, with impeccable cleanliness and up to 100 pitches per hectare of land.
- 2 stars: Always of the highest quality, you'll also find a warm welcome, well-kept private pitches and an entertainment area.
- 3 stars: this type of campsite offers a welcome in several foreign languages, an Internet connection and a children's play area.
- 4 stars: in addition to larger pitches, this type of campsite offers a refreshment point, washing machines and other facilities.
- 5 stars: this is the luxury campsite with a high level of facilities and entertainment, a swimming area and optional quality services (spa, hairdresser, massage, etc.).
