Where to, buddy?
You post one request. The campsites in the region make you an offer. You choose.
No twenty browser tabs, no phone calls, no “fully booked” on a site that was last updated in March. Say where you want to go, when, and with how many — the campsites come to you.
Free for campers. No booking fees, no commission.

How it works
Searching in reverse: the campsites come to you
One three-minute request replaces an evening of searching, emailing and calling.
02
Campsites make an offer
Every campsite that fits gets your request. They send a price, photos and a personal message. You get a ping with each offer.
03
You choose, and it's settled
Accept the offer you like best. The booking is confirmed and the other offers expire automatically. Done.

All on one screen
Compare on price and on feel
An offer is more than a number. You see the campsite's photos, the facilities, the site map and the message the owner wrote with it. Side by side, in the same list.
-
Price per night, no surprises. What the campsite offers is what you pay.
-
The small ones too. Places that never show up on the big booking sites take part here as a matter of course.
-
Save your favourites. Not sure yet? Set an offer aside and decide later — until your request expires.

Bonjour ! Nous avons une belle place ombragée près de la rivière pour vos dates.
Hello! We have a lovely shaded pitch by the river free on your dates.
Is the pitch big enough for a 6-metre tunnel tent?
Oui, 120 m². Parfait pour votre tente.

Just ask — even when the owner doesn't speak your language
Will the tunnel tent fit? Can the dog come? Is there shade? Ask the owner directly. Under every message in a foreign language there is one button: Translate. The app knows the language on your profile and sticks to it.

Why campers use it
Six reasons that stick after one summer
One request, not twenty tabs
Three minutes to fill in. After that the campsites do the work.
Even when everything looks full
An owner knows exactly which pitch is coming free. Better than a booking site last updated yesterday.
Straight to the owner
No call centre in between. The person you talk to is the one at the barrier when you arrive.
Search by map, not by name
Drop a pin and a radius. Everything inside that circle gets your request — including what you would never have found yourself.
Your preferences are already there
Party, pitch type and wishes come from your profile. The second request takes a minute.
Free, and staying that way
No booking fees and no commission on your price. The campsites pay a flat subscription; you pay nothing.

★★★★★Mid-June and we still had nothing. Posted the request over coffee; by four in the afternoon we had nine offers — seven of them under our maximum. Saved us an entire evening.
★★★★★The owner wrote in French, I just read it in Dutch. Eleven pitches, a meadow by a stream, no website of their own. I would never have found that campsite.
Frequently asked
What people usually want to know first
Question not covered? Email hello@campingbuddy.eu.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. No subscription, no booking fees and no commission on the price you agree with the campsite. Campsites pay us a flat annual fee.
How fast do offers come in?
Campsites on a paid subscription get your request as a push notification within thirty seconds. The first offers usually arrive the same morning or evening.
And if nobody replies?
Your request has a lifetime. If it runs out without an offer it closes automatically and you get a message — you are never left waiting. Usually it helps to drop one requirement or widen the radius; the app counts live how many campsites would receive your request.
Am I committed once I post a request?
No. A request is not a booking. Only when you accept one offer is the booking fixed — and the other offers expire automatically.
Which countries does it cover?
All of France: 3,322 campsites across all 96 departments. Six regions are highlighted — Ardèche, Dordogne, Brittany, Vendée, Normandy and Provence. Belgium and Germany follow in 2027.
Next summer sorted already?
Download the app, post your first request and let the campsites come to you. Free, and you are committed to nothing.
Do you run a campsite yourself?
Receive requests from your own region and fill your last pitches. Starting free is an option.
