Les Hespérides

A historic naturist camping site

Les Hespérides has existed since 1958, making it one of the elders of family naturism in the Paris region. The site is located in Étréchy, in Essonne, about 45 kilometers south of Paris, on the chemin des Vaugibourgs.

The grounds stretch over 3.3 hectares in the middle of nature, not far from the Juine valley and areas classified as Natura 2000. Here you'll find a green, quiet setting, far from urban bustle, which explains why so many families come back season after season.

Facilities and accommodation

The campsite offers several options depending on your wishes and budget. The bare pitches are spacious, designed for caravans or tents, but you can also rent a chalet, a fixed caravan or a traditional roulotte if you'd rather arrive empty handed.

On the relaxation side, a pool and a sauna are available on site. Wifi covers the grounds, handy for those who want to stay reachable or just check the weather before going for a swim.

Hours and access

The campsite is open from May 1st to October 31st, with reception available from 9am to 12pm and then from 1pm to 7pm. Rates work on a membership and day pass system, with details available on the venue's official website.

Naturism is practiced across the whole site, in the spirit of a charter that favors mutual respect between members. It's worth keeping in mind before booking: here, clothing is optional everywhere, not just around the pool.

What regulars say

Feedback highlights the friendly, family atmosphere of the place, as well as how well it blends into the surrounding nature. Its closeness to Paris comes up often in comments, appreciated by those who want a bubble of nature without hours of driving.

The value for money is also mentioned as a strong point, along with the quality of the welcome. The campsite is rated two stars, which fits well with the simple, warm spirit that comes through in the reviews.
