Flower Campings – Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions set out the rights and obligations of the parties that make up the booking contract for touring pitches and rental units at our campsite.
By booking a pitch and/or rental unit at our campsite you acknowledge that you have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions.
1/ Services – Rates
We offer touring pitches and holiday units for rent.
- Touring pitches
These are camping pitches intended for tents, caravans and motorhomes.
The price of your stay is calculated on the basis of an all-in package that covers your pitch rental and the right for two people to camp on the pitch with either one tent and one vehicle or one caravan and one additional vehicle or one motorhome. It also includes access to our reception facilities, toilet and shower blocks, entertainment and activities. Depending on the package you chose, it may include an electric hook-up and other options where available.
You will need to select one of the following packages:
Standard option: a touring pitch without electricity
Comfort option: our Standard option plus an electric hook-up
Premium option: our Comfort option plus (prestation à préciser par le camping)
Freecamp: our Standard or Premium option including accommodation with private toilet and shower
The package options listed above do not include any extra charges for additional campers, additional vehicles, pets, etc. that may be added to your chosen package.
- Rental units
Our rates include the rental of your chosen accommodation based on the number of people in your party (in line with the capacity of the unit in question), water, gas and electricity charges (but not the cost of charging electric and hybrid vehicles), parking for your vehicle and access to our reception facilities, toilet and shower blocks, entertainment and activities.
Once you have made your booking, you will be asked to pay a security deposit of EUR (montant à préciser). This deposit is payable (préciser la forme et le délai du paiement) or on arrival at the site and will be returned to you by post at the end of the your stay and no later than eight days after your departure. However, we reserve the right to retain all or part of this deposit in the event of damage to your accommodation and/or its contents and/or any other campsite equipment. We also reserve the right to deduct the sum of EUR (montant à préciser) to cover cleaning costs if your accommodation was not cleaned before you left.
- Touring pitches and rental units
The prices indicated include VAT but do not include French tourist tax (or taxe de séjour).
Whether you book a touring pitch or a rental unit, extra charges will be made for additional people, additional vehicles, additional tents, pets, visitors, etc.
In addition, our prices may vary in line with economic and market conditions. The agreed price payable by you is the price indicated on your booking confirmation.
Flower Campings applies a dynamic pricing policy. This means that our rates may go up or down over time.
Partner benefits advantages and special offers cannot be applied retrospectively to confirmed bookings whether paid for in part or in full.
As a result, different customers may pay different prices for the same holiday. Under no circumstances will customers paying a higher price be refunded the difference between the price they have paid and the special offer price.

We will have cleaned your accommodation before you arrive and you must leave it in the state in which you found it. If you fail to do this, we reserve the right to deduct cleaning costs from your security deposit as set out in section 1 of these Terms and Conditions.

- Campsite rules
Throughout your stay at the campsite you must follow the campsite rules. You will find a copy of these rules on display at reception but we would be pleased to email you a copy of them if you wish.
- Image rights
You may find that we take photographs and/or videos on the campsite for activity and/or publicity purposes during your stay. These photos/videos may show you or the other people in your party. When you pay the balance of the price of your stay, we assume that you are also giving us your consent to use any photos and/or videos in which you or the other people in your party appear for the purposes set out above and for a period of (XX) years. If you do not wish us to use any photographs or videos in which you or your party appear for these purposes you must notify us in writing by letter, email or other ‘durable medium’.
- Non-availability of certain services
Some of the services and facilities we offer (e.g. swimming pool, restaurant, activities, entertainment, etc.) may not be available all year round, in particular due to weather conditions or other cases of force majeure, and may not operate in all seasons. They may therefore be temporarily unavailable during all or part of your stay.
We will do everything we can to let you know about any works or alterations that will be carried out during your stay.
- Termination of the booking contract due to non-performance by you
The booking contract will be terminated automatically in case of any one of the following events:
- If you and/or another person in your party repeatedly fail to follow the campsite rules. Repeated failure means a second failure occurring after you have received an initial warning by email reminding you to follow the campsite rules. In such a case you must leave your pitch/unit accommodation within (X) hours of the termination of your booking contract as notified by email and we will not refund any part of the price of your stay.
- If you fail to arrive at the campsite within 24 hours of your arrival date/time and have not informed us when you will be arriving and the reason for the delay. We are free to rebook your pitch/unit at the end of this 24-hour period if we have been unable to contact you using the contact details you gave us when you booked your holiday. In such a case we will retain any money you have paid to us and no refund will be made.
5/ Changes to your stay
You can ask to change the dates and/or details (type of accommodation) of your stay at our campsite as long as we receive your request by email at least 21 days before your arrival date.
In such a case, you must book another stay at our campsite in the same season as your original booking subject to availability and at the applicable rates. You may only change your initial booking once. If you are unable to honour your rearranged booking, your stay will be deemed cancelled and we will retain any money you have paid to us.
If the price of the rearranged stay is greater than that of the initial booking, you must pay us the difference no later than 30 days before your rearranged arrival date. Failing this, the rearranged stay will be deemed cancelled and the terms of cancellation set out above will apply. If the price of the rearranged stay is lower than that of the initial booking, we will keep the difference in price as compensation for the loss suffered as a result of the change.
6/ Cancellation
- Cancellation by you
If you wish to cancel your booking, you must notify us in writing (email, registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, etc.).

We will refund the balance in the form of a credit note that you can use for a future holiday at our site and which you must book for the same season as the cancelled stay or the following season. This applies even if we receive your email/letter less than 15 days before your arrival date.
