Naturist campsites in the countryside

Everything about the campsites for naturists in the countryside

71 listed naturist campsites in France are in the countryside, far from the coast: forests, meadows, vineyards or organic farms, often run by associations affiliated with the FFN for several decades. This is the most common profile in the French naturist network, ahead of the coast and the mountains, and the practice of naturism there is often organised around a smaller number of pitches and a family-style welcome.

Occitanie, sixteen campsites

In Aveyron, Le Pas de Ceilhes has been affiliated with the FFN since 1965. In Lot, Domaine Naturiste Le Clos Barrat, in Sérignac, covers 10 hectares of meadow and forest, and Camping de Lalbrade spans 80 hectares in the Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park. In Gers, Domaine Devèze, in Gaudonville, covers 20 hectares, and in Tarn, Centre Naturiste Le Fiscalou, in Puycelsi, is a family-run 3-star campsite in the green Quercy, with a limited number of pitches to preserve the area's calm.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine, fifteen campsites

In Haute-Vienne, Lous Suais, in Cheissoux, sits by Lake Maulde, and Espace Naturiste de Bos-Redon is a club site affiliated with the FFN. In Corrèze, Domaine du Coq Rouge lies in the Dordogne valley. In Charente-Maritime, Camping du Port heats its indoor pool, and in Dordogne, Coteau de l'Herm covers 8 hectares in the Périgord Noir.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, nine campsites

In Var, Domaine de l'Escride and Camping Naturiste La Tuquette rank among the best reviewed. In Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Le Vallon des Oiseaux has existed since 1986, and Verdon Provence has welcomed families since 1967. In Vaucluse, Domaine de Bélézy is a 5-star naturist campsite.

Elsewhere in France, twenty-eight campsites across ten regions

In Corsica, U Furu, in Porto-Vecchio, sits at the foot of the Alta Rocca.

Choosing a naturist campsite in the countryside

Many of these campsites are club sites affiliated with the FFN, which can require a naturist stamp or card to stay there: check this point before booking. The oldest sites, often run since the 1960s, focus on a friendly, family-style welcome, in keeping with the practice of naturism, rather than on extensive water facilities. Most suit families with children, but some, such as LPC Naturist Accommodation in Mayenne, are adults-only.
