As a family of five, we usually stay in an AirBnb when we travel since we get the most bang for our buck with space and amenities. But I wanted to switch things up during our latest trip to France since we were staying a little longer, and the outcome was amazing. Since we were staying a little longer than our usual trips four nights as opposed to a weekend , I wanted a place we could relax that had plenty of great amenities.
Camping La Capricieuse hit all the checkmarks for us. This post is NOT sponsored. We just loved this spot, and I want to help other families find the best place to stay.
Yelloh VIllage is a chain of campsites plopped all around France with several spots in Spain and a couple in Portugal, too. They have cottages like a tiny house that can accommodates up to eight people, and it includes everything you need! On top of that, there are activities all day long for the whole family. Basically, my excitement kept building as I kept reading about this place. It was everything I was looking for. This means that if you want bedding, you have to pay extra for it.
If you want that bedding put on your bed, you have to pay extra. Same for towels. If you want internet, you have to pick the category that includes high-speed wifi in your cottage. You also have the option to pay for a full clean out at the end, or you can do it yourself. It was a small price to pay to enjoy our stay a little bit more. Pro tip: l ooking to save some bucks and have kids? Bring sleeping bags for them to use. Our three-bedroom tiny home technically slept six people two twins in two rooms; one double in the third room.
It also had two showers and two toilets, a living room, a kitchen, and our own little outdoor area with a BBQ needs charcoal. I will say that it was a very small, tight space for the bedrooms. The living room area with the couch was fine for all of us, and we liked that there was a table inside as well as a table on the patio. Thankfully, there is ample storage. We actually ditched the suitcase and packed everything in our backpack in packing cubes.
