On the water, in the trees or even underground, falling asleep under the clouds or waking up in the middle of a pond. There's no denying that camping is on the move! Not just because you're on the water, but also because it's responding to a demand from holidaymakers to diversify their accommodation. Campsites have understood this and are now offering more and more unusual accommodation that offers three essential things that are increasingly sought after: dreams, nature and adventure.

The tree house is one of those unusual types of accommodation that has been particularly popular at campsites for some time now. A short stay to celebrate an event, to offer an atypical birthday present that's a change from a night in a hotel for those who need to dream, who appreciate adventure, who love nature or who want to rediscover camping in a different way.
