The best campsites in France with climbing

·

France packs a punch when it comes to camping for climbers. With over 170 campsites tailored for climbing, you’ll find pitches set near limestone crags, granite boulders, and dramatic gorges. The average night costs around $25, but you can bed down for as little as $18 if you know where to look. Facilities like toilets, fire pits, and pet-friendly spots come standard. Bring your hiking boots—many sites open straight onto trails, with fishing and horseback riding close by. Top picks? Try Pyrénées Emotions (6 reviews) for epic Pyrenean views, Camp & Lodges du Bois Dodo (2 reviews) tucked in the woods, or Bastide Virginie (2 reviews) for Provençal cliffs and quiet mornings. You’ll get a mix of rugged nature and practical comforts—just pack your chalk bag and sense of adventure.
