Camping à la ferme, Rural campground in La Giettaz, France.
Camping à la ferme is a working farm campsite in La Giettaz with tent and caravan pitches spread across green meadows beside the farm buildings. The grounds offer electrical connections, water points, shower facilities, and washing stations throughout the property.
The site was created in the 1970s as part of France's rural economic diversification initiative. This farming-based camping model helped agricultural properties generate additional income while introducing visitors to countryside traditions.
Guests experience working farm life firsthand, watching how animals are cared for and food is produced daily. This direct connection to rural living offers insight into agricultural rhythms most visitors rarely encounter.
The site is best explored on foot since pitches spread across green meadows with mostly flat and easy access throughout. Sturdy footwear is useful to bring, especially after rain when grass areas can become soft and muddy.
Campers receive fresh products directly from the farm each morning, including milk, eggs, and seasonal vegetables harvested from the adjacent fields. This daily supply of farm-made goods offers a direct taste of local production that few campgrounds provide.
