What to know about Campings.com, the European leader in outdoor accommodation booking

Origins and founding

Campings.com was founded in August 2008 in France. The company was created to meet the growing demand for online booking of outdoor accommodations, providing a platform dedicated to campers and vacationers.

A French company expanding across Europe through mergers

Over the years, Campings.com has expanded its catalog to include nearly 4,500 campgrounds and holiday parks across ten European countries.

In 2017, the Camping n°1 group acquired the Spanish site Campings.com, strengthening its position in the European market.

In January 2023, the company raised 27 million euros (about $29 million) to finance the acquisition of Bungalow Booker, a Dutch company specializing in booking stays at holiday parks.

All types of sun-drenched campgrounds

Today, Campings.com offers a vast range of outdoor accommodations, from unrated campgrounds to 5-star complexes, including independent properties and brand networks such as Camping Paradis, Tohapi, Siblu, or Maeva.

To simplify searching, campgrounds are categorized by several themes that meet the varied expectations of vacationers. Popular categories include beachfront campgrounds, those with water parks, unique accommodations, and establishments that are pet-friendly.

As previously mentioned, the platform covers about ten European countries, but focuses primarily on France and countries in Southern Europe, including Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Portugal.

Misleading information

We booked and fully paid for our stay back in January 2026. Our invoice literally stated: "total accommodation amount paid". Yet 3 weeks before departure, we suddenly received extra invoices for €200 and later €250. When we disputed them, our stay was ultimately canceled by the campsite itself.
At first, Campings.com wouldn't even refund us and even responded with hostility. Only after we filed a complaint with the relevant authorities in Belgium and the United Kingdom (where campings.com is officially registered) did we get our money back.
European and Belgian consumer regulations require that the total price and mandatory additional costs be clearly communicated in advance. If costs cannot be calculated in advance, the consumer must also be clearly informed about this beforehand. Campings.com does not apply these regulations, nor does it follow its own terms and conditions.
For us: never again Campings.com, from now on I am going back to booking via Booking.com, where I have booked things more than 100 times and have never run into unpleasant surprises.

The booking process was seamless.
I also appreciate the loyalty points system, which is a nice little bonus.
A successful first experience.

Great selection of campsites

Just like the name suggests, it is a specialized site that offers a huge selection of campgrounds in France, but also in Spain and Southern Europe.
If you are looking for safe and reasonably priced spots with pools, bungalows, or unique accommodations, you will find exactly what you are looking for here!
