The importance of accessibility at campsites

Accessibility at campsites plays a crucial role in providing an enriching and inclusive holiday experience for all. By ensuring that facilities and communal areas are suitable for holidaymakers, campsites enable everyone to enjoy their stay to the full. Walkable paths, adapted sanitary facilities and specially designed accommodation ensure comfort and independence, facilitating access to activities and natural areas, promoting accessible and memorable holidays for all visitors.

This is one of our main concerns at Camping Sunêlia Interlude.

Making holidays easier for everyone

Making holidays easier for everyone is an essential part of making the travel experience accessible to everyone. This means not only offering facilities adapted to people with reduced mobility, but also taking into account the specific needs of each traveller. From booking to accommodation and the activities on offer, guaranteeing accessibility means that everyone can experience moments of relaxation and discovery without obstacles, promoting total inclusivity in the tourism sector.

Compliance with current standards and legislation

Compliance with current standards and legislation is crucial in all sectors of activity, including tourism. In terms of accommodation, this includes compliance with safety, accessibility and environmental protection standards. For travellers, this guarantees a safe experience that complies with regulatory expectations, while helping to preserve the natural and cultural resources of the destinations visited. Ensuring compliance with these standards not only builds visitor confidence but also supports sustainable and responsible tourism on a global scale.

Campsites' commitment to inclusion

Campsites play an essential role in promoting inclusion and accessibility for all visitors. By actively committing to providing adapted and accessible facilities, they enable everyone to get the most out of their holidays. From designing accessible accommodation to making communal areas and activities more accessible, campsites demonstrate a strong commitment to inclusion. This effort aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at ease and fully enjoy the pleasures of camping and nature, without any barriers.

Characteristics of accessible mobile homes

Accessible mobile homes are specially designed to offer comfort and convenience to people with reduced mobility. Their design includes access ramps, wider doorways, spacious circulation areas, and thoughtful features such as bathrooms with grab rails and walk-in showers.

Access ramps and enlarged doors

Campsites make it a point of honour to make their facilities accessible to everyone, especially people with reduced mobility. This includes the installation of access ramps to facilitate the movement of wheelchairs or walkers. Doors are also widened to allow smooth, unhindered passage. These adaptations are essential to ensure a pleasant and practical experience, where all holidaymakers can take full advantage of the facilities and activities offered by the campsite.

Adapted interior fittings

Known as a ‘PMR’ mobile home, this type of accommodation is specifically designed for people with disabilities.

The interior fittings in mobile homes and campsites play an essential role in ensuring that your holiday is comfortable and accessible to all.

These include

wider circulation spaces to allow a wheelchair to pass through
wider doors for easier access to different rooms
walk-in showers with integrated seats and grab rails for safety.

Adapted mobile homes also offer kitchens with height-adjustable worktops and easy-to-reach switches and controls, contributing to the independence and comfort of disabled people during their stay.

Accessible bathrooms and toilets

Bathrooms are often fitted with walk-in showers with level access, facilitating barrier-free entry and exit. Shower seats and grab rails are usually installed to ensure safety and support during use. Toilets are also adapted, with sufficient space for a wheelchair and grab rails strategically positioned to facilitate daily use. These features are designed to make the sanitary facilities as functional and comfortable as possible for all residents.

Ergonomic kitchens

Kitchens in accommodation arranged for people with disabilities are designed for maximum accessibility and practical use. They are generally equipped with lowered counters for easy access from a wheelchair. Fittings such as hobs, sinks and worktops are positioned at an accessible height and are often adapted for use without extra effort.

Cupboards and shelves are also positioned at accessible heights, allowing residents to easily store and access their cooking utensils and groceries. Electrical appliances such as fridges, ovens and microwaves are often placed at ergonomic heights to make them easier to use.

In short, the kitchens in mobile homes for people with disabilities are designed to maximise independence and comfort, while ensuring a pleasant and functional culinary experience.

Living spaces optimised for mobility

The movement-optimised living spaces in campsite accommodation are designed to offer comfort and accessibility for people with disabilities. Here are some common features such as accessibility. Mobile homes are often equipped with ramps to make entry and exit easier. Widened doors such as internal doors are often widened to allow easy passage of a wheelchair. Spaces are arranged to maximise manoeuvring space, with wider corridors and clear circulation areas. Bathrooms are adapted and can be equipped with handrails, walk-in showers with level access, and sometimes raised toilets. Kitchens are functional and often equipped with height-adjustable worktops and materials designed for optimum accessibility.

These features are designed to make the accommodation welcoming and practical for all holidaymakers, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable experience during a relaxing camping holiday.
