What's the difference between a 4-star and a 5-star campsite?
4 and 5 star campsites are often very similar, but there are a few differences.
Comfort, luxury and services
In terms of comfort, there may be differences between a 4-star and a 5-star campsite: ***** campsites generally offer more luxurious services, such as more upmarket leisure facilities (e.g. swimming pools, fitness rooms, spas) and multiple services. Note that the largest camping water parks are to be found at 4 and 5 star campsites, and all the better for it: our children love them!
4-star campsites also offer a high quality of service while retaining a more traditional camping experience.
The price
The price will vary between these two categories of campsite: 5-star campsites are generally more expensive than 4-star campsites. Check out the prices of these campsites and don't hesitate to visit them in low season.
Size of pitches
Finally, the size of the pitches is a criterion that differentiates 4-star and 5-star campsites. 5-star campsites generally have larger, more comfortable pitches, with a minimum average surface area of 114 m² per pitch (compared with 100 m² for a **** campsite), and more space around your mobile home or caravan if you choose to rent a campsite.
For example, a 5-star campsite must have a maximum of 70 pitches per hectare, compared with 80 pitches for a 4-star campsite.
