Traveling with your grandchildren is much more than just a simple stay: it’s an opportunity to reconnect, share moments of bonding and strengthen a unique relationship, often tested by distance or daily routine. These holidays allow you to slow down, pass on knowledge, play… and experience unforgettable moments together.
Choosing the right destination then becomes essential for both young and old to find their happiness, combining relaxation, nature and shared activities. At Huttopia, we’re convinced that camping is families’ best ally. Our offer combines comfort, nature and a multitude of activities suitable for all ages.
Ready to experience unforgettable holidays? Discover why going camping with your grandchildren is the promise of successful holidays!
Camping, by its very nature, encourages multigenerational stays: you live together without getting in each other’s way, you share experiences while respecting everyone’s desires and rhythms.
pitches
A privileged natural setting
Huttopia campsites are real playgrounds in the heart of nature: mountains, forests, lakes, beach… Perfect for raising children’s awareness about environmental protection. They can enjoy facilities that respect the locations and large accessible natural areas: undergrowth, meadows, trails… They will also be made aware of waste sorting, reasonable use of energy and respect for local wildlife.
Varied and supervised activities
Our “Les Petits Trappeurs” activity program is designed to develop children’s adventurous side: land art, tree climbing, creative workshops, nature discovery… Also enjoy the numerous leisure facilities at your disposal (playground, foosball, ping-pong, board games…) and aquatic spaces with heated pool and paddling pool to share play moments between young and old!
Comfortable accommodation and spacious pitches
Chalets, equipped “ready-to-camp” tents, cabins: enjoy comfort (real beds, equipped kitchens, private bathrooms) and services designed for families. Owners of a caravan or motorhome, choose a shaded camping pitch to set up.
The best times to go
To benefit from advantageous rates and avoid crowds, favor the May-June and September periods. These times offer pleasant weather, mild temperatures and particularly generous nature. Spring school holidays also constitute an ideal period for these intergenerational getaways.
Choosing the right destination and suitable accommodation
The campsite selection must take into account several essential criteria. Favor accessible destinations with short travel times to preserve the comfort and energy of the whole family. Choose places offering a varied natural setting (seaside, mountains, countryside) with nearby attractions. Consider the children’s age and grandparents’ capabilities when making your choice.
Helping children cope well with separation
To facilitate separation from parents, it’s important to involve children in holiday preparation. Pack the suitcase with them, choose the favorite cuddly toy or toy together, explain the stay duration in “sleeps”. Why not test a first night to reassure them? During your stay, suggest children send a postcard to their parents. A nice way to tell about their holidays with you.
Prepare yourself serenely for successful holidays
Let go of usual rules and adapt your rhythm to daily life. Think about giving yourself regular breaks and moments just for you. This flexibility is the key to fully enjoying calm and pleasant holidays with the whole family. Anticipate small inconveniences: fatigue or passing tantrums. Prepare diversion activities, maintain reassuring rituals and don’t hesitate to adapt the program according to the general mood.
Documents and safety
Don’t forget the essentials: parental authorization, vaccination record, health insurance card, first aid kit. These precautions will reassure you in case of any bumps. Think about listing essential items not to forget before departure.
Daily logistics
Think about meal organization, laundry maintenance (on-site laundry), baby or child equipment rental (travel cot, high chair…). This prior organization frees up time to fully enjoy sharing moments without stress.
Families who have chosen Huttopia for their holidays unanimously testify to the richness of these experiences. Grandparents and grandchildren return full of memories shared together. These stays can mark the beginning of a family tradition, creating privileged bonds that endure beyond holidays.
« Very clean and quiet campsite. Pool very well adapted to small children. Wooden games very appreciated. Lake and beach right next to the campsite but independent and very pleasant. Pleasant staff. We’ll return because it’s well adapted to our 5-year-old grandson. »

« Beautiful camping pitches, a magnificent environment, beautiful accommodations such as sanitary facilities, etc. For us, it was like scouting: the hearth and outdoor kitchen, a beautiful discovery that we also used twice with my 2 adult scout children and my 2 grandchildren. »
