You have chosen to spend your vacations in a campsite, in summer and in family with children? Surely you are looking for a campsite with a swimming pool! Unless you are really by the sea, by a lake or by a river, and often even in these cases, the pool is a must. It is the moments of idleness at the edge of the pool, the water games, the laps in the early morning that make the good memories of vacations and the moments of true relaxation where you will recharge your batteries after a year of hard work. Many campsites in France have a swimming pool, or even better a water park. In the low category the swimming pool is already a very good option
Why choose a campsite with a swimming pool?
With a campsite that has a swimming pool you don't need to take your car to go swimming. With a swimming pool instead of a water park, you have the choice of more affordable two or three star campsites. A campsite with a swimming pool is guaranteed to be of a certain quality without being overpriced. Some 4 or 5 star campsites also have swimming pools rather than water parks. But in this case the environment is enhanced with top-of-the-range equipment, there are usually two swimming pools, some covered, some heated and recreational and sports services are offered
How to choose a campsite with a swimming pool?
When you make your reservation, find out when the pool is open and when it is open to avoid disappointment. The size of the pool is important. A tiny pool in a large campsite means traffic jams! The surroundings of the pool also matter. A solarium, grass, gravel, deckchairs add to the quality of the time you will spend by the pool. Of course, safety and cleanliness are also important.
