o save on your camping stay during your vacation, one of the best solutions is to rent accommodation during the low season, that is to say outside of July and August. Indeed, if your leave allows it, you can go on a camping vacation in June or September to take advantage of the good summer weather while saving money. However, going in low season still has some disadvantages.
If during the summer, campsites increase their staff to offer more services and activities, this is not always the case in low season. The same goes for tourist places which are sometimes only open during the peak period. Therefore, you risk not being able to take advantage of certain services or certain activities by staying in a campsite during the low season. The weather is also an element to take into account: you may have to deal with a few showers and temperatures that may be a little cooler, which can be tricky if you want to sleep in a tent. Finally, not everyone can take advantage of holidays in low season since they are not compatible with children’s school holidays. It is therefore difficult to go camping with the family during this period.
Should you avoid high season to enjoy your camping stay?
The high season, that is to say the month of July and the month of August, is the period when the greatest number of holidaymakers go camping. Thus, the crowds are very large, which can cause quite a few inconveniences, such as lack of privacy, traffic jams on the road or even long queues to enjoy an activity or event. . In addition, the price of rentals and sometimes even activities is higher during the peak period. Should we therefore avoid this period to go on vacation?
First of all, many people simply cannot go to another period since the high period coincides with the children’s school holidays. So, it all depends on your expectations. If you want not to spend too much during your vacation and you want to avoid crowds at all costs, in this case, we actually advise you to avoid going camping during the peak period. On the other hand, if you are a little more patient and have a larger budget for renting accommodation in a campsite in high season, there is no need to avoid the peak period. On the contrary, you will be able to take advantage of the advantages of the peak period such as the weather or more services.
