While July pointed out, the French are slowly starting to go on vacation around the country. And there are many who opt for the campsite. But when we manage an establishment of this style, are we well paid?
The suitcases are loaded in the trunk of the car which can no longer accommodate anything more, the full is done and the beach is waiting for you. During the holidays, the campsite option remains one of the French favorites: in the summer of 2024, they generated around 83.5 million nights in camping in France!

On site, perhaps you have already had the chance to come across a Tom Delorme, the sympathetic director embodied by
Laurent Ournac in the popular series Camping Paradison TF1? In real life, is a position like his well paid? The salary of a campsite director in France varies considerably according to several criteria. There is therefore not a unique salary, but rather a range of remuneration. And it can mount surprise very high …
On average, the salary of a director or camping manager is between 2,000 euros and more than 5,000 euros gross per month according to data from the platform specializing in professional retraining, I change jobs. This large salary range is explained by various reasons to start with a primordial: the size of the establishment to be managed on a daily basis!
Indeed, a director of a small family campsite of less than 200 locations will not receive the same remuneration as that of a large 5 -star tourist complex of more than 400 locations. An experienced director who works for a channel or large group of campsites can actually claim to earn one day up to 5,000 euros gross. A very beautiful salary worthy of a framework working for example in the bank or insurance.
To this is also added experience and profile, status (employee or independent), seasonality (if the place welcomes the public long in the year or not) or even geographic location because it can also influence the salary level (for example if the establishment is in very touristy area, by the sea or in the mountain).
