Discover the Lyon region, explore the surrounding nature – and why not spend the night there too? That’s the promise of a caravaning holiday. But to enjoy an unforgettable stay, you first need to choose the ideal place to stay.
What is Caravaning?
Caravaning is a form of tourism and leisure that involves traveling and staying in a caravan, a converted vehicle, or a motorhome. It allows you to combine the pleasures of travel with the freedom to move at your own pace, while enjoying the comfort of a mobile living space.
This practice offers great flexibility, as you can choose your destinations according to your wishes, discover varied landscapes, and enjoy nature while having the comfort of a home on wheels.
Camping in Nature – With Comfort
While wild camping appeals to many, it’s important to remember that it is forbidden (and subject to heavy fines if caught) and often lacks even the most basic comfort.
That’s why we recommend choosing an official campsite that offers all the services and facilities you need in daily life (laundry, food shop, Wi-Fi, etc.).
Caravaning is Not Just for Summer
Most holidaymakers try caravaning in Lyon during the summer months. But the other seasons also have their charm and hold plenty of surprises for a nature-filled holiday.
That’s why Camping des Barolles welcomes visitors all year round within its preserved natural setting.
