Best Regions in France for Campsites with Water Slides
Southern France
Languedoc, Provence, and Côte d’Azur are perfect due to their sunshine and scenery
You’ll find that they are mostly massive resort-style campsites with epic aqua parks and are generally close to beaches, towns, and local attractions.
The main draw back is that they require a long drive or a flying to a local airport. Check out the best Eurocamp sites in Southern France in our blog article.

Brittany and Normandy lead to milder weather but greener landscapes.
The campsites are generally cosy, but perfect for families of all ages.
They are much easier to get to and do generally book up fairly fast during summer months which is why we did a Best campsites in Brittany article which you can find by clicking on the link.
