A campsite for sale in Île-de-France belongs to an unusual outdoor hospitality market: few sites, steady demand across much of the year, and a clientele mixing foreign visitors touring Paris by motorhome or caravan, local families seeking a weekend in nature, groups and business travellers. The Fontainebleau forest, the Seine, Marne and Loing valleys and the Vexin français, Haute Vallée de Chevreuse and Gâtinais français regional nature parks provide woodland and riverside settings close to the capital.
Opportunities are rare and varied: classified campsites sold with their fonds de commerce (the trading business), riverside or woodland plots, and outer-suburb estates suited to a camping or unusual accommodation project. This page is for buyers taking over a campsite near Paris, investors focused on land value and owners preparing a sale. To hear about new properties first, set up an email alert (in French).

With few benchmarks, a campsite here is best valued through its components. The first is trading: EBITDA (EBE in French accounts) over several years, helped by a longer season thanks to urban and business guests. The second is land, which weighs heavily in a region where building land is expensive; buyers should still check that the local zoning keeps the site dedicated to outdoor accommodation, since leisure land is not priced like building land. Star rating, rental fleet and transport links complete the picture.
Most potential lies in the outer ring. To the south-east, Seine-et-Marne combines the Fontainebleau forest, painters' villages such as Barbizon and Moret-sur-Loing, medieval Provins and the Marne-la-Vallée leisure hub, popular with foreign families. To the west, the Yvelines offer the Rambouillet forest, the Chevreuse valley and Versailles nearby. Essonne shares the Gâtinais and the Essonne valley, while the Val-d'Oise opens onto the Vexin and the Oise valley.
Access is a strength: the A1, A4, A5, A6, A10, A13 and A15 motorways, the Francilienne ring road, RER and suburban trains, TGV stations at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy and Massy, and Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly airports. Buyers weigh sites near a station or a major attraction, sought by international guests, against quieter rural sites in the Gâtinais, Brie or Vexin with a more regional, seasonal clientele.
Land pressure means checking the local zoning plan first, along with protections on forests, regional nature parks and listed sites. The Seine, Marne, Loing and Oise valleys are covered by flood risk prevention plans, and campsites exposed to a natural hazard are subject to information, warning and evacuation requirements set by the authorities. Old underground quarries and shrink-swell clay also deserve attention. Any new site or significant extension needs a permis d'aménager (development permit), as does a PRL (parc résidentiel de loisirs), a holiday park for chalets and mobile homes whose plots are rented or sold. Finally, check the star rating, valid for 5 years, and drainage, and read our white paper on creating a campsite (in French).
Not without consent. Keeping caravans or mobile homes on private land for long periods is tightly controlled by planning law, and a true campsite needs a development permit compatible with the zoning. Before buying one of the leisure plots for sale for this purpose, ask the planning department of the mairie (town hall).
It depends on opening period, occupancy of pitches and rentals, staff costs and the price paid for the land; no average replaces a review of the accounts. Our holiday rental simulator (in French) and borrowing capacity calculator (in French) help test your assumptions.
The listings here cover complete businesses. A park that sells plots may appear when it changes hands as a whole, but buying a single chalet is a different process: ask the park manager which units are available, read the park rules and specifications, and have your notaire (the public officer who handles property sales) check the deed.
