Green Screens: How Shrub Borders Create Natural Privacy on Our 95 m² Pitches

Choosing a campsite often comes down to one simple question: will you actually feel comfortable once you arrive? If you love outdoor holidays but want a little breathing room, our 95 m² pitches are designed to offer both space and privacy. At Camping du Châtelet, each standard pitch is approximately 95 m², set on grassy ground, partially shaded, and separated by shrubs for privacy.

That combination matters more than many campers expect. A well-planned pitch can shape your whole stay, from how easily you settle in to how relaxed you feel during meals, quiet mornings, and evenings outdoors. In this guide, you’ll discover how these natural green borders improve comfort, why partially shaded pitches are so appealing, and how to make the most of your space during your stay.

What makes our 95 m² pitches different?

A camping pitch is more than a place to park or set up for the night. It is your base for the holiday, your outdoor living room, and your personal corner of the campsite.

At Camping du Châtelet, standard pitches are designed around three qualities guests consistently value:

• Space: each standard pitch is approximately 95 m²
• Privacy: pitches are separated by shrubs
• Comfort in nature: pitches are spacious, grassy, and partially shaded

These details work together to create a setting that feels open without feeling exposed. Instead of a bare, tightly packed layout, the pitch arrangement gives campers room to settle in more naturally.

Why shrub borders matter on a camping pitch

A more natural kind of privacy

When people think about privacy, they often imagine walls, fences, or screened enclosures. On a campsite, that can feel too closed-off. Shrub borders offer a softer alternative.

By separating pitches with planting rather than hard structures, the campsite preserves the outdoor atmosphere while still giving each space a clearer sense of boundary. You can enjoy your meals, read in a chair, or simply unwind without feeling like you are directly on display.

In practical terms, shrub-separated pitches help create:

• A calmer atmosphere
• A more defined personal space
• A greener visual environment
• A better balance between sociability and independence

For many campers, that balance is exactly what makes a stay more enjoyable. You remain part of the campsite community, but you also have a pitch that feels like your own.

A more peaceful visual setting

Camping comfort is not only about square metres. It is also about what you see when you step outside your tent, caravan, or camper setup.

Shrubs soften sightlines between neighbouring pitches. That simple landscape feature makes the setting feel less rigid and more restful. Instead of rows of equipment and vehicles, you experience more greenery around your holiday space.

This can make a noticeable difference during:

1. Breakfast outside in the morning
2. Afternoon rest in the shade
3. Family time between activities
4. Quiet evenings at your pitch

How partial shade improves pitch comfort

Another standout feature of the pitches is that they are partially shaded. For many campers, that is the ideal middle ground.

Too much direct sun can make a pitch feel hot and exposed, especially in the middle of the day. Too much shade can leave a space feeling cool or dim. A partially shaded grassy pitch offers flexibility throughout the day.

The benefits of partial shade

Partial shade can help create a more comfortable daily rhythm on your pitch by offering:

• Sunny areas for enjoying bright mornings or drying gear
• Shaded areas for relaxing during warmer parts of the day
• A more adaptable outdoor setup for dining, reading, or resting

This kind of setting suits a wide range of camping styles, whether you are travelling as a couple, with family, with friends, or on your own.

Spacious grassy pitches: comfort starts from the ground up

The fact that the pitches are grassy adds to the overall experience. Grass often creates a more welcoming and relaxed outdoor environment, especially when paired with generous space and natural borders.

A grassy pitch tends to support the classic pleasures of camping: stepping outside barefoot, setting up outdoor furniture comfortably, and creating a pleasant area for everyday campsite living. Combined with the pitch size, it helps the space feel less temporary and more settled.

What 95 m² means for your camping setup

A pitch of approximately 95 m² gives you room to organise your stay with more ease. Space is one of the most practical forms of comfort on a campsite, because it affects how smoothly everything else works.

Typical advantages of a spacious pitch

With a 95 m² pitch, you can generally enjoy a layout that feels less cramped and easier to manage. That extra room helps with:

• Positioning your tent, caravan, or camping equipment more comfortably
• Creating a distinct area for outdoor seating
• Moving around the pitch more freely
• Maintaining a greater sense of openness during your stay

The value of space becomes even clearer on longer stays, when your pitch becomes a day-to-day living environment rather than just a place to sleep.

Natural privacy and the overall Camping du Châtelet experience

Camping du Châtelet offers accommodation choices ranging from traditional camping pitches to large chalets with 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms, as well as mobile homes and tents for those who enjoy staying close to nature. Within that wider offer, the standard pitch stands out for guests who want the classic camping experience with thoughtful comfort built in.

Natural privacy through shrub borders fits perfectly with the wider spirit of the campsite: a place set between the lake and the Savoyard mountains, with a family-friendly atmosphere, a beautiful natural setting, and space to relax or head out for adventure.

For guests planning a stay, this makes the pitch experience about more than dimensions alone. It becomes part of a holiday rhythm that combines:

• Outdoor living
• A peaceful personal base
• Easy access to the surrounding area
• A comfortable setting for rest between activities

If you are also exploring accommodation options, it may be helpful to compare the atmosphere of a traditional pitch with the comfort of chalets, mobile homes, or lodge-style stays.

Who benefits most from shrub-separated pitches?

One of the strengths of this layout is that it works well for different types of guests.

Couples

Couples often appreciate a pitch that feels quieter and more intimate. Shrub borders help create that sense of retreat while keeping the experience outdoors and connected to nature.

Families

Families usually need both space and structure. A spacious pitch can make day-to-day organisation easier, while natural borders give the area a more defined feel.

Friends travelling together

For groups of friends, privacy still matters. A pitch with green separation can support a relaxed social stay without making the space feel overly exposed to neighbouring campers.

Solo campers

Solo travellers often value simplicity, calm, and security in their surroundings. A clearly defined pitch with natural greenery can feel more comfortable and restful.

Quick answer: how large are the standard pitches?

The standard pitches are approximately 95 m², partially shaded, grassy, and separated by shrubs for privacy.

This combination is one of the defining features of the traditional camping experience at Camping du Châtelet.

Practical tips for making the most of a 95 m² pitch

Once you arrive, a few simple choices can help you enjoy the full benefit of the space and natural privacy around you.

1. Think in zones

Set up your pitch with separate areas for sleeping, dining, and relaxing. A spacious layout makes this easier and can improve daily comfort.

2. Use the shade strategically

Take advantage of the partially shaded setting when placing chairs, tables, or a rest area. This can make the pitch feel more comfortable throughout the day.

3. Respect the natural borders

Shrubs help define the pitch and contribute to the calm atmosphere. Treating these green separations with care helps preserve the experience for everyone.

4. Plan for outdoor living

A grassy, spacious pitch invites you to spend more time outside. Bring what you need to make that space enjoyable, such as seating, a dining setup, and practical storage for everyday use.

Why natural screening appeals to modern campers

Many travellers want camping to feel close to nature without sacrificing comfort. Natural screening through shrubs speaks directly to that expectation.

It offers privacy in a way that still feels appropriate to the camping environment. Rather than isolating guests, it softens the shared setting and makes each pitch more pleasant to use. That is often the sweet spot for a memorable outdoor stay: open-air freedom with a reassuring sense of personal space.

A pitch designed for relaxation

At its best, camping should feel simple, comfortable, and restorative. The design of our 95 m² pitches supports exactly that. With shrub borders for privacy, partial shade, and a grassy surface, each standard pitch provides a setting where you can settle in, slow down, and enjoy the atmosphere of Camping du Châtelet.

Whether you are planning a short break or a longer stay, the pitch itself plays a major role in how the holiday feels from day one.

Conclusion

If privacy matters to you, a traditional pitch does not have to mean sacrificing comfort. At Camping du Châtelet, our 95 m² pitches combine space, partially shaded grassy ground, and shrub borders to create a camping experience that feels both natural and well considered.
