The best campsites in France with swimming

·

Dreaming of a swim-friendly camping spot in France? You’ve got over 390 choices where a dip isn’t just allowed—it’s the main attraction. From riverside pitches in the Loire to lakeside hideouts in Normandy, you’ll find sites like Le Château de Monfréville (15 reviews), Camping Le Thouet (10 reviews), and Camping Belle Vue (9 reviews) drawing regulars for wild swims and lazy afternoons by the water. Expect toilets, showers, and campfires-allowed at most sites. You’ll spot anglers, horse riders, and the odd heron if you stick around. Average stays run about $36 a night, but you can snag a pitch for as little as $15. France’s swimming campsites are anything but generic—each one brings something different, from secret fishing holes to woodland trails ending at the water’s edge.
