Owning a holiday home is a dream shared by many French people. A stone country house, a renovated old farmhouse, a villa near the beach or a small wooden chalet: there are many possibilities for having a place of your own where you can spend time with family and friends. However, becoming the owner of a traditional second home represents a substantial investment, on top of which come maintenance costs, running expenses and various taxes.
But have you ever considered another solution? Buying a mobile home on a campsite allows you to enjoy many of the benefits of a holiday home, with a purchase budget that is generally much lower than that of a traditional property. Better still, depending on the terms of your contract, you may be able to rent out your accommodation when you are not using it to offset some of your expenses.
In Vendée, our 4-star Bontempo La Yole campsite in Saint-Jean-de-Monts supports you with your mobile home purchase project. Discover why this alternative appeals to holidaymakers who want to become owners without necessarily investing in a traditional house.
Buying a holiday home is, above all, about giving yourself the freedom to get away whenever you wish. There is no longer any need to search for a rental for every stay, compare availability or book several months in advance. Your accommodation is waiting for you to enjoy a long weekend, a week of rest or a family holiday.
For some, the dream takes the form of an old renovated farmhouse in the countryside. For others, it is a traditional seaside house surrounded by a green garden and located just a few minutes from the beaches.
The holiday home then becomes a gathering place where every generation can share special moments. You find your familiar habits, furniture and personal decorations there. A collection of souvenirs, a few second-hand treasures, a box of board games or a well-stocked bookshelf are enough to transform this second home into a true family haven.
The pleasure also lies in the small moments of everyday life: enjoying a cup of tea on the terrace, sharing a glass of wine with friends or simply enjoying the peace of a natural environment.
Despite its many advantages, buying a second home represents a significant financial commitment. The purchase price is obviously the main expense, but notary fees, potential renovation work and maintenance costs must not be overlooked.
An older house may require work on the roof, insulation, heating or electrical installations. Even a recent property requires regular maintenance, particularly when it remains unoccupied for several months of the year.
It is also necessary to anticipate running costs, insurance, property taxes and potential management fees. Depending on the location, these expenses can represent a substantial addition to the initial budget.
For owners who only occupy their house for a few weeks each year, the actual cost of each stay can quickly become significant. This is precisely why other types of holiday residences are worth considering.
When discussing the purchase of a holiday home, people rarely think of a mobile home. Yet this type of accommodation offers an interesting alternative for those who want to have their own holiday residence.
Unlike buying a house or apartment, purchasing a mobile home does not require buying a plot of land. The owner purchases the accommodation and generally rents a pitch from the campsite where it is installed.
This difference considerably reduces the amount of the initial investment.
There is a wide selection of new and second-hand mobile homes on the market, with different sizes, equipment and levels of comfort. A recent model may offer several bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room and an outdoor terrace.
At our Bontempo La Yole campsite, we offer mobile homes for sale in different residential areas. Our team helps you choose accommodation suited to your budget, the size of your family and your holiday habits.
Modern mobile homes are a far cry from the basic accommodation that some people still imagine. Today’s models offer functional living spaces, carefully designed interiors and equipment comparable to those of a small holiday home.
Depending on the model you choose, you can enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, one or more bedrooms, a shower room and a bright living area opening onto the outdoors.
The terrace, sometimes covered, becomes an additional space that is particularly appreciated during fine weather. You can install wooden garden furniture, a few plants, a storage box for accessories or flowers to personalise your surroundings.
Interior design also allows you to create a warm atmosphere. A combination of natural materials, light fabrics and touches of green or black brings a contemporary feel to the décor. Everyone can therefore put together their own collection of objects and accessories to create a true sense of home.
Buying a mobile home therefore means enjoying the comfort of a holiday home, in a more compact format that is generally easier to maintain.
The main difference between a traditional house and a mobile home concerns the amount of the initial investment.
Buying a second property may require a substantial loan, with potentially high monthly repayments. In addition, there are the costs associated with property ownership and building maintenance.
A mobile home generally represents a smaller investment. Its price depends on its age, size, equipment and quality.
However, the specific expenses associated with this type of holiday residence should not be forgotten. In particular, owners must budget for the annual pitch rental, insurance, accommodation maintenance and any costs related to utility connections.
The mobile home therefore offers a significant advantage at the time of purchase, but its profitability depends on the overall budget and how long you intend to keep it.
One of the main advantages of a mobile home is the possibility of offering your accommodation for seasonal rental, when the campsite contract allows it.
Indeed, if you only use your holiday home for a few weeks each year, you may consider renting out your mobile home during certain available periods.
The income generated can then help offset the annual pitch rental, running costs and part of the purchase price.
This strategy can be particularly interesting in a tourist region such as Vendée, where holidaymakers look for accommodation close to the Atlantic Ocean during the summer season.
However, it is important to check the campsite’s subletting conditions, any management fees and the applicable tax obligations.
Contrary to popular belief, the profitability of a mobile home is not guaranteed. It generally loses value over time, unlike a property whose value may evolve differently depending on the market.
Nevertheless, thanks to a more affordable purchase price, it may be easier to offset part of its cost through rental income, provided there is sufficient demand and expenses are kept under control.
Maintenance is also an important consideration when choosing a holiday home.
A traditional second home may require significant work over the years. A roof that needs renovating, a façade that needs maintaining or a heating system that needs replacing can sometimes represent considerable expenses.
A mobile home has the advantage of a smaller surface area and equipment that is generally easier to maintain.
Nevertheless, it is still necessary to monitor waterproofing, ventilation, electrical installations and sanitary equipment. Moisture and material wear also require regular attention, particularly in coastal regions.
For owners who want to spend more time enjoying their holidays than carrying out repairs, this format offers a practical solution, without eliminating all maintenance requirements.
Vendée is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Atlantic coast. Its fine sandy beaches, seaside resorts and natural spaces make it a region particularly suited to family holidays.
Owning a holiday home in this region allows you to enjoy many activities during the warmer months.
Between swimming, forest walks, cycling trips and cultural discoveries, every stay can be different. Families also appreciate the wide variety of leisure activities available along the coast.
In Saint-Jean-de-Monts, the beaches are bordered by vast forest areas and an extensive network of cycle paths. This combination allows you to alternate easily between days by the ocean and outdoor activities.
By choosing a mobile home at our Bontempo La Yole campsite, you can enjoy a place of your own in a privileged natural environment, close to the Vendée beaches.
Unlike an isolated country house, a mobile home located on a campsite allows you to benefit from the facilities and services offered by the establishment.
This is a considerable advantage for families with children, but also for couples who want to enjoy activities without having to travel long distances.
At our 4-star Bontempo La Yole campsite in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, residents can access the facilities available during opening periods.
Our campsite features a water park with an indoor swimming pool, outdoor pools and a water slide. Entertainment, sports activities and play areas also contribute to the friendly atmosphere of the campsite during the season.
You therefore enjoy the advantages of a second home while benefiting from facilities designed for holidays.
It is also an opportunity to regularly meet other owners, share a drink or introduce your loved ones to the region.
As with buying a traditional house, choosing a mobile home should take your habits and expectations into account.
The size is an important initial criterion. A couple looking to enjoy short stays will not necessarily need the same amount of space as a large family regularly welcoming children or friends.
The number of bedrooms, the layout of the living room, kitchen equipment and the presence of a terrace also play an essential role.
The level of comfort naturally influences the price. Some models prioritise simplicity and practicality, while others offer more high-end equipment.
Buying a second-hand mobile home can also be an interesting way to reduce the initial investment, provided its general condition is carefully checked.
Before buying a mobile home, it is essential to understand how pitch rental works.
Unlike a traditional holiday home, you do not become the owner of the land. You sign a contract with the campsite operator, which specifies the rental amount, authorised occupancy periods and conditions for using your accommodation.
You should also find out about renewal terms, any restrictions on renting to third parties and additional fees.
At our Bontempo La Yole campsite, we offer different residential areas, with pitches suitable for mobile homes and specific rental conditions.
Our team can present the available models, pitch rental rates and installation arrangements so that you can develop your project with all the necessary information.

Buying a holiday home remains an excellent way to build up property assets and enjoy your own accommodation in a region you love. However, this option generally requires a substantial budget and can involve high maintenance costs.
A mobile home represents a particularly interesting alternative for people who primarily want a comfortable, affordable and easy-to-use holiday retreat.
With its generally lower purchase price, modern equipment and the possibility of benefiting from campsite facilities, it offers a different way of looking at second-home ownership.
Seasonal rental, when permitted, can also help offset some of the expenses. However, this advantage should be distinguished from a traditional property investment, as mobile homes generally depreciate over time.
