The best mountainous campsites in France

France’s mountains offer a mix of rugged trails, quiet forests, and sweeping alpine views—ideal terrain if you want to wake up to crisp air and dramatic peaks. With 64 mountain campsites across the country, you’ll find pitches from the Pyrenees to the Auvergne, with prices starting as low as $10 a night and averaging around $100. Look for sites that allow campfires, so you can toast marshmallows under the stars, and expect basics like showers and toilets at most places. Climbers, swimmers, and wildlife-watchers have plenty to keep busy. For a spot with a local following, check out Pyrénées Emotions (6 reviews), Domaine de Fontaine Châtel (3 reviews), or Auvergne Naturelle (1 review). Pack for changeable weather, bring sturdy boots, and get ready for cold mornings and epic views.
