Summer 2025: CAMPING-CAR PARK sees record-breaking attendance

Despite unpredictable weather and an at times tense international climate, the summer of 2025 was all about freedom, connecting with others, and discovery for thousands of motorhome owners. The CAMPING-CAR PARK network recorded a 10% increase in visitors compared to 2024, with more than 1.3 million overnight stays logged between 1 July and 25 August. Here is a look back at your favourite stopovers and the regions you explored this summer in your motorhomes, converted campervans or vans.

Top-tier stopovers for your summer road trip

It was hard to resist the pull of Nouvelle-Aquitaine: taking the top spot among favourite destinations with 341,378 overnight stays, this region won over countless motorhome owners thanks to its diverse landscapes—from the Atlantic coast and rolling vineyards to characterful villages. Stopover sites are well-distributed across the region, making them ideal for taking a break, emptying waste, refilling water tanks, or spending the night in complete peace of mind.

Along your summer route, Occitanie was also a firm favourite, with 157,573 overnight stays. Whether heading to the beaches or exploring the heart of Cathar country, the network’s stopover sites allowed you to travel with complete independence, backed by the comfort of 24/7 services.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes took a spot on the podium with 148,253 overnight stays—a true breath of fresh air for motorhome owners seeking nature and cooler escapes. Dedicated parking areas near lakes and mountain peaks were a huge hit with fans of road trips.

Overall ranking of French regions by number of overnight stays:

Brittany charms, the North surprises

Had your compass set on Brittany ? Many of you decided to stop by! With 133,395 overnight stays, it posted an impressive 16.7% increase. You loved its waterside sites, picturesque harbours, local farmers' markets, and pitches thoughtfully designed for motorhomes—not to mention enjoying crêpes after a scenic coastal walk!

In the Pays de la Loire, despite a slight dip, 135,193 overnight stays were recorded. The region remains a delightful stopover, offering cultural sights, Vendée beaches, and convenient places to recharge your batteries—literally and figuratively.

And what a surprise in the northern regions! Hauts-de-France surged with a +38% increase in visitors, followed by Normandy (+28%) and the Grand Est (+20%). Many of you, particularly travellers from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, discovered or revisited these destinations, enjoying well-located sites often close to major historical or natural landmarks.

Travel freely, but never alone: CAMPING-CAR PARK services

If more and more of you are taking to the road for touring holidays, it’s also because the CAMPING-CAR PARK network makes life on the road so much easier. With over 600 stopover sites and municipal campsites across France and Europe, you're always guaranteed to find a suitable stop for your leisure vehicle.

With your Access Card or Digital Pass, you can travel seamlessly from one site to another 24/7 and enjoy discounts and special offers at local businesses—a great way to support regional communities while saving money.

And for even greater peace of mind, the Privilèges Pack allows you to book your pitches in advance, guaranteeing a spot upon arrival, even at the height of the season, along with the free cancellation up to 48 hours before option. It’s a genuine perk when you want to keep the freedom of a flexible itinerary, completely stress-free.
