For over 10 years, CAMPING-CAR PARK has grown to become Europe's leading network of motorhome stopovers, supporting travelers in motorhomes, campervans, and converted vans as they explore the most beautiful destinations across France and Europe. Our one-of-a-kind network of stopovers makes hosting leisure vehicles easy, all while promoting local tourism.

Like any innovative company, however, we encounter our share of misconceptions. Some circulate online or come up in chats between motorhome owners. They deserve to be addressed with total transparency. Today, we're setting the record straight on what CAMPING-CAR PARK isn't — and what we truly are.

‍

❌ 1. "CAMPING-CAR PARK doesn't maintain the sites"

This is a common myth. In reality, site maintenance is organized in partnership with local authorities. Each municipality retains full ownership of its land. Together, we share responsibilities:

• CAMPING-CAR PARK handles technical management (terminals, maintenance, remote monitoring, etc.).
  
  
• The local authority oversees routine maintenance, with local support (green space maintenance, waste collection, etc.).
  
  

This collaborative model ensures stopovers remain functional, clean, and open year-round. It’s an invaluable asset for travelers looking for safety and comfort, no matter the season.

‍

❌ 2. "They buy all the sites"

CAMPING-CAR PARK does not buy the sites; in fact, it is the opposite of our model. We believe in a balanced public-private partnership.
Here is how it works:

• The municipality retains ownership of its land,
  
  
• CAMPING-CAR PARK invests in the facilities (terminals, barriers, roads),
  
  
• And becomes the manager of the site: supervision, remote monitoring, customer service, and promotion.
  
  

This approach allows small rural communities as well as bustling tourist destinations to offer top-quality motorhome facilities without having to shoulder heavy investments on their own.

What's more, 70% of the profits generated by the site are paid directly to the local municipality, making this partnership a genuine economic boost for local communities.

Today, over 500 local authorities across France place their trust in us to showcase their destination to motorhome travelers.

❌ 3. "CAMPING-CAR PARK is too expensive"

This often comes up… but it simply isn't true! Stopover rates are set in close consultation with our partner municipalities. On average, an overnight stay used to cost between €10 and €13, with all key services included: water, electricity (depending on the site), waste disposal, security, and more.

Following recent price increases due to inflation (particularly rising energy and water costs) alongside local tourist taxes, the average now ranges between €10 and €15. These adjustments aren't about widening profit margins—they're a shared economic necessity.

We do everything we can to control costs. Our goal remains unchanged: to offer high-quality, accessible, and transparent hospitality for all travelers.

The Privilege Pack is especially beneficial for regular travelers: at just €29, it pays for itself in only a few stops.

❌ 4. "Their customer service is abroad"

That is not the case. All of our teams are based in France, at our headquarters in Pornic, Loire-Atlantique.

We have chosen to stay firmly rooted locally, with:

• A French-speaking customer service team, open 7 days a week, that knows our sites perfectly,
  
  
• A technical team that monitors the development of each site,
  
  
• Advisors specialized in supporting travelers (memberships, passes, Digital Pass assistance, etc.).
• And representatives who speak several languages to assist all European travelers.

‍

Our customers appreciate interacting with available, human representatives who truly understand the daily lives of motorhome owners.

‍

✅ 5. "CAMPING-CAR PARK is a multinational corporation"

That is true, and we fully embrace it.

Since our inception, we have grown with the ambition of facilitating motorhome travel across Europe. We have opened several subsidiaries in Europe to support this vision.

This European dimension directly meets our customers' expectations: being able to travel further while enjoying secure, standardized, and easily accessible hospitality with just a few clicks via the Digital Pass.

In the future, other European regions may host their own CAMPING-CAR PARK sites. A seamless, cross-border, and hassle-free motorhome journey: that is the future we are building with you.

❌ 6. "They are just parking lots"

An unfair... and outdated image!
Yes, some sites are functional and located near major roads — ideal for a quick stopover. But our network also offers:

• Wooded areas that blend into the local landscape, Areas close to
  
  
• natural, heritage, or cultural sites,And above all, over
  
  
• 90 CAMPINGS de mon Village locations, featuring:
  
  Tent pitches,
  
  • Restrooms,
    
    
  • Extensive services (laundry, bread, activities, etc.)
    
    

‍

In short: a network designed for you, with total freedom

At CAMPING-CAR PARK, we believe in independent, self-sufficient, and human-centered tourism that respects local areas and simplifies life for travelers.
Our goal is not to standardize, but to showcase every region and destination in partnership with local municipalities.

Whether you're taking an impromptu weekend getaway or a cross-Europe road trip, our digital solutions (bookings, app, Digital Pass) and Privilege Pack empower you to travel with greater freedom, more often, and with complete peace of mind.
