The gate clicks shut behind you and suddenly you're breathing slower — this is proper caravan-and-tent territory, tucked away from the everyday and close enough to hear your own thoughts again.
Franchis suits the traditional camper: tent pitches for those who like canvas and guy ropes, space for campervans if that's your style. It's a holiday park rather than a wild meadow, so expect neighbours and a bit of sociability rather than complete solitude. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies vary and it's worth confirming before you pack the lead. The campfire question gets answered on arrival, which usually means they're flexible depending on conditions and where you're pitched.
Come prepared to be fairly self-sufficient — facilities aren't detailed, so this isn't a bells-and-whistles operation. It's the kind of spot that works if you're after straightforward pitching, a bit of space, and the freedom to settle in without fuss. Quiet, unpretentious, and likely to suit anyone who just wants to *be* somewhere for a few days.
