Buying a mobile home in a campsite is an idea that’s attracting more and more families and couples looking for freedom, comfort, and a closer connection to nature. In Vendée — a region famous for its mild climate, long beaches, and friendly atmosphere — many holidaymakers take the leap each year to become owners of their own holiday residence. But how exactly does buying a mobile home in a campsite work? What costs should you expect, what pitfalls should you avoid, and above all, is it a profitable investment?
At La Yole – Bontempo Village, we guide future owners through every step of the process — from choosing the right model to installing it on its pitch. Here’s everything you need to know before buying a mobile home in our Vendée campsite.
Buying a mobile home in a campsite is not the same as buying a house or apartment. A mobile home is a recreational residence, installed on land that belongs to the campsite. You therefore own the mobile home, but not the land it sits on. The plot is rented through a pitch agreement, usually renewed annually.
At our 4-star La Yole campsite in Vendée, we offer a wide range of new and pre-owned mobile homes, designed to suit all needs and budgets. Future owners can choose between a new mobile home or a second-hand one, and we help them select the ideal pitch — whether shaded, close to the pool, near our restaurant services, or in a quieter area for peaceful Vendée holidays.
Once the contract is signed, we take care of everything: delivery, connections to utilities (water, electricity, sanitation), and full installation of the mobile home.
The contract clearly sets out the terms of occupancy: the opening period of the campsite, the duration of the pitch lease, the annual fees, and the included services such as security, maintenance of green areas, and access to on-site facilities. Becoming an owner at La Yole in Vendée means enjoying all the advantages of a 4-star campsite, while owning your own ready-to-use second home just minutes from the beach.
Before buying, it’s essential to understand the overall cost of owning a mobile home. The purchase price depends on the model, size, year, level of equipment, and whether it’s new or second-hand.
A new mobile home with two to three bedrooms, modern design, and good insulation typically costs between €40,000 and €70,000, depending on the brand and chosen options. A pre-owned model can be much more affordable, with prices starting around €15,000 to €30,000, depending on its condition and age.
On top of the purchase price, you’ll pay an annual pitch rent, which covers the rental of the land where your mobile home is installed. This fee includes the upkeep of the site, waste collection, access to the campsite’s facilities (swimming pool, entertainment, services), and on-site security.
At our Vendée campsite, these costs are clear and transparent from the start — so there are no hidden surprises during the year.
Additional costs may include water and electricity usage, insurance, and occasional maintenance or small renovation works. However, overall costs remain much lower than those of a traditional holiday home, while offering far greater flexibility.
You also have the option to rent out your mobile home when you’re not using it, generating income that can help cover part (or even all) of your annual costs.
As with any major purchase, becoming a mobile home owner requires careful thought and attention. The first potential pitfall lies in the pitch agreement — it should be read thoroughly. It must specify the rental conditions for the plot, the lease duration, the rates, renewal terms, and included services.
Be cautious with campsites offering very low pitch fees — sometimes hidden costs appear later (restricted access to facilities, extra maintenance charges, etc.).
Another key point is choosing the right campsite. The campsite is the living environment of your mobile home — it should be well maintained, offer quality services, a friendly atmosphere, and a location that you truly enjoy.
At La Yole, our owners particularly appreciate our proximity to the sea, the quality of our infrastructure, and the family-friendly spirit of the village. Our campsite is part of the Bontempo Village network, ensuring a consistently high level of service, and we work closely with leisure home specialists who share our standards of quality and reliability.
It’s also important to consider resale value. Unlike traditional property, a mobile home depreciates over time, much like a car. That’s why it’s important to buy a model that’s well-maintained, suited to your needs, and located in a campsite with strong demand — which makes resale or upgrading easier later on.
Finally, don’t overestimate rental income. Renting out your mobile home can be a great way to offset costs, but profitability depends on the campsite’s occupancy rate, your pitch’s location, and the level of service offered. At La Yole, we assist our owners with rentals — managing bookings, guest arrivals, and cleaning — to keep everything simple and transparent.
The profitability of a mobile home depends on your main goal. If your aim is to have a personal holiday retreat that’s comfortable and always available, buying a mobile home is an excellent solution. You can enjoy your property whenever you want — no reservations needed — and even lend it to family or friends. It’s primarily an investment in pleasure and lifestyle.
From a financial perspective, a mobile home can also be partially profitable thanks to seasonal rentals. By entrusting management to a campsite like La Yole, you benefit from a turnkey service: we can rent out your mobile home during the high season, generating revenue that often covers most or all of your annual pitch fees — and sometimes even a small surplus depending on demand.
Compared to a traditional holiday home, a mobile home is much more affordable. There’s no property tax, no heavy maintenance costs, and no major renovation expenses. Plus, you can change your model or location whenever you wish — complete flexibility that appeals to many owners.
Buying a mobile home is therefore a sound investment if you have clear expectations. If your goal is pure financial return, other types of investment may be more suitable. But if you’re seeking a balance of pleasure, freedom, and comfort at a reasonable cost, becoming a mobile home owner in our campsite is a smart and rewarding choice.
