The 10 most beautiful water parks on campsites

• Ever greater, ever more fun, this could be the motto of some French campsites, as their water parks look nowadays like real amusement parks... Water slides, toboggans, replicas of Pirate ships, inflatable structures placed on the water, etc. Luxury campsites vie with one another in ingenuity to offer the campers the craziest fun! Within this thematic file, Campings.Luxe invites you to discover the 10 most beautiful aquatic parks of all campsites in France…

  French campsite managers may invest in a whole bunch of new innovative facilities, from tree houses to balneotherapy areas, but nothing of that nature is really any good. To attract the eye and the attention of future guests looking for a campsite where they will spend their next summer holiday, there's nothing better than a huge water park with upstream rivers, toboggans and other water slides. It must be said that these areas dedicated to swimming and a whole bunch of fun water activities are often seen as the real lung of these establishments. Alone or with your family, you can go there for a swim and a dive, but more often, guests put on their swimsuit to enjoy the sunbathing areas around these lagoons and pools!

  From the simple deckchair to the designer and modern sun loungers, these areas are perfectly equipped so that everyone can indulge in idleness and the favourite activity of numerous tourists; sunbathing...

  Genuine temples of idleness...

  Although this activity is not only for adults, it is clear that the adults monopolize the greatest part of the sunbathing areas, leaving children and teenagers the freedom to enjoy the leisure facilities, making these water parks genuine theme parks!

  Water slides are the emblem of these facilities. From the toboggan to the Spacebowl, from the most basic water slide to the most complex one, they have all been designed to provide a dose of adrenaline and fun every time you slide down!

  …And fun…

  Some water parks have, in addition to water slides, facilities considered to be even more upscale, such as artificial rivers and wave pools. Often implanted in the form of a closed trail, to create a real current, you can slide these rivers down by using an inflatable buoy, or swim upstream into the current.

  And wave pools are the cream of the crop of water parks equipments. As their name suggests, it is a pool whose water is agitated artificially in order to recreate the movement of waves. Just a little more and you believe you're in the sea, and the water is not even salted!

  Areas for young and...old! …

  Even though these previously mentioned facilities delight all tourists young and old alike, the very young are not for all that forgotten. Paddling pools and water games are prominently present in the water parks of these campsites, to the delight of babies, who can make their first steps in the water and have fun with various water jets, magic mushrooms and replica Pirate ships!

  Some water parks are equipped with genuinely fun water games, especially designed so that children can enjoy them safely and have a blast, with water slides adapted to their age, and unusual sprays...

  The water park of campsite le Domaine le Pommier (Villeneuve de Berg)

  Surprise! In the heart of the Ardèche, and not on the Atlantic or the Mediterranean Sea, lies the most beautiful camping water park of France. So, the Palm for the first place of this Top 10 of Campings.Luxe goes to le Domaine le Pommier with its "Aqua Ardèche".

  Only accessible for guests of le Domaine le Pommier during the summer season, this magnificent water park is open to everyone during the low season, the chance for many to discover this temple of water fun.

  Let's pause for a moment on the Pirate pool. True aquatic playground for children, there is a life-size replica of a pirate Galleon, with its water cannons, its tilting bucket spilling each time more than 300 litres of water on the structure, its mini slides and other attractions!

  If these pools guarantee a high fun level, it is first and foremost the slides that constitute the real strong asset of Aqua Ardèche. They are six (not counting the other toboggans) and give tourists the chills, just by evoking their names: the Multihill, the Anaconda, the Hillaracer, the Super Anaconda, the Viper, the Aqualoop and the Family Slide...
