Camping Simondon, Campground in Plats, France
Camping Simondon is a campground in Plats situated at approximately 480 meters elevation with 25 pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes arranged across three terraces overlooking the mountains. The facility includes electric hookups, showers, toilets, and a heated swimming pool for guests.
This location originated as a traditional farming property, and its conversion into a campground preserves the original farm buildings and rural character visible today. The transformation maintained the site's agricultural heritage while adapting it for visitor accommodation.
The site allows visitors to experience traditional French rural living through daily encounters with farm animals such as sheep and donkeys positioned near the hamlet's entrance.
The site is open from April through September and located on gently sloped terrain accessible by car with convenient central facilities within walking distance. Pitches are arranged on terraces, so some require a short walk from the parking area.
The campground deliberately uses no artificial lighting on its pitches, creating ideal conditions for nighttime stargazing and observation of the night sky. This choice makes it an uncommon destination for astronomy enthusiasts seeking to escape light pollution.
