Everything you need to choose the campsite fully adapted to your needs!

The stars of a campsite

When it comes to hotels, restaurants and camping,everything is calculated in the form of stars. The stars are calculated according to the quality of the service,the offers that are made and the reception reserved for customers.

Thus, each campsite can call on professionals to determine how many stars they deserve.

These professionals then go to the campsite to observe the services and the reception of customers. According to a list of about 200 criteria,they then determine how many stars can be distributed to campsites.

The fact of having stars is therefore a guarantee of quality,whether from the point of view of the locations or the services offered.

To help you make the right choices, Les Places Dorées explains how campsite stars are awarded!

The first star

The very first star is, according to relentless logic, the simplest to obtain. Not that it is distributed to all campsites, but it is the first ranking on the star scale.

Among many other criteria, campsites hoping to obtain a first star must offer pitches of more than 80 m².

And when we talk about pitches,it’s not just pitches reserved for tents and motorhomes. These are also the locations of bungalows and mobile homes.

Stars 2 to 4

Then, the ranking from the second star to the fourth star for campsites takes into consideration more and more criteria and characteristics.

Again, these criteria are numerous, but those that are constantly taken into account are the size of the plots and the services offered.

Thus, to hope to get a second star, a campsite must offer a possibility of internet connection from all pitches.

For the third star, the campsite must justify pitches with a minimum average area of 89 m².

4-star campsites, on the other hand, meet even higher requirements. Thus, their pitches must be at least 100 m², and especially offer secure access to the entrance.

The fifth star

Finally, to obtain a fifth star, campsites must meet other increasingly strict criteria. For example, the plots made available to travelers must be at least 114 m², and be limited by hedges of a vegetal nature.

In addition, the reception must be able to justify at least 3 languages spoken fluently, in order to facilitate internationalexchanges. And finally, 5-star campsites are analyzed according to the services they offer. The water park, the spa, the children’s club…

So many essential elements for the smooth running of your holiday, which are for example set up in your campsite Les Places Dorées.
