The most beautiful camping water domes and cupolas

• On a campsite the focus is often on the outdoor leisure equipments, but this doesn't stop some campsites to invest in closed and covered facilities. If spas and other balneotherapy areas are certainly the best example of this, the covered water parks are no exception. Since several years there is even an acceleration of investment in this area and even if it is still rare to see water cupolas and domes on campsites in the South of France, these constructions prosper on the Atlantic coast and the English Channel.

  As a matter of fact it seems to be essential to protect the tourist satisfaction rate, normally declining when bad weather is announced. In this case covered water parks are a significant asset for the most beautiful campsites in France. They offer campers the opportunity to swim and to have fun regardless of weather conditions. This is illustrated by this selection of the ten most beautiful water domes and cupolas of French campsites...

  The covered pools of campsite La Sirène

  Campsites with a covered swimming pool or water park in the South of France are rare. In summer, the sun is almost always shining on the French Riviera or in the Languedoc Roussillon. Even if it's not very interesting to have this kind of installation in one of these regions, it is not useless, especially if it is designed to offer its guests one of the most beautiful residential water parks of France. This is the case of campsite La Sirène, located in Argelès sur Mer, in the Pyrénées Orientales, which gives access to an area of this type of more than 10,000 m². Temple of swimming and lounging, this Water Park is equipped with two huge covered and heated swimming pools. While one is reserved for adults and features, among other facilities, bubble beds, water jets and waterfalls, the other one is for the kids, it stretches over 620 m² and includes water slides, water jets, a climbing wall and many other water games...
