Camping à la ferme, Farm campground in Solliès-Pont, France.
Camping à la ferme is a campground located on an active farm in Solliès-Pont where visitors can pitch tents or park caravans among crops and pastures. The site remains open year-round with basic facilities and keeps its rural character despite being relatively close to coastal areas.
The farm began welcoming guests during the 1970s when French farmers started diversifying income through tourism and lodging. This rural tourism movement helped agricultural communities adapt and many such farms continue operating across Provence today.
Visitors at the campground participate in daily farm operations, learning traditional methods of cultivation and animal care from local agricultural experts.
The site works best during warm months from May through September when weather is stable and nights stay mild. Visitors should check in advance what accommodations and amenities are available to prepare their stay properly.
Guests can help with daily farm chores like feeding animals or harvesting vegetables depending on the season. This hands-on participation gives a real sense of how the farm operates and what agricultural work actually involves.
