Staying in Lyon and its surroundings means discovering the city’s natural landscape and its emblematic sites. Lyon is also very well known for its gastronomy with the famous bouchons lyonnais, the traboules in the very heart of the city, its Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, but also its lakes just a few hours from Lyon.
What could be better than settling in a campsite near the city to enjoy all these places.
What is a municipal campsite?
A municipal campsite is by definition a classic campsite, which can be found all over France. The exception is that this type of campsite has no private owner and is managed by the municipality of the city where it is located. Municipal campsites can be set up near the sea, in the countryside, close to forests. The choice of destinations for your next holidays remains wide!
In a municipal campsite in Lyon, the facilities are designed for holidaymakers staying either long or short term. You can just as well set up a caravan, a motorhome, a tent, or even rent a mobile home. Standards and rules of public accessibility must be respected, as with all establishments open to the public.
The municipality is responsible for managing the premises and cleanliness. It may very well decide to be assisted in the management by a private operator. The city council is the sole decision-maker regarding the location and the allocated budget.
The constraints of municipal campsites
Municipal campsites have the advantage of being open all year round and offering very affordable rates for your stays. However, choosing this type of campsite for your holidays can come with some drawbacks.
Smaller pitches
Compared to private campsites, local authorities offer fewer pitches. The accommodation capacity is more limited. Indeed, municipal campsites have a smaller area of land and must share it with other infrastructures (gymnasiums, schools…). Making a reservation can turn out to be difficult because of this criterion. Pitches are reserved from one year to the next.
More limited comfort
Municipal campsites are known for being advantageous in terms of price. However, this is at the expense of activities and comfort offered. Municipal campsites do provide modern facilities, but more limited ones. Everything will depend on the municipal campsite chosen. Public campsites are also regulated by the star rating system.
As with any stay at a campsite, the climate can disrupt your holidays, especially if you are not sufficiently equipped.
