Huttopia opened its first Base Camp in Lyon in May 2021. A year later, it took its concept store to the Netherlands. And, ahead of the planned creation of another Base Camp in Canada, Huttopia has launched an e-commerce site to meet the needs of customers all over Europe.

Huttopia opened its first Californian site in July 2021, in a place steeped in history: Paradise Springs. Here’s the story of a remarkable place visited by colourful characters and the magic of Hollywood.

Heading towards Groningen via Apeldoorn and Zwolle, we turn off into the spectacular countryside just after the national park. This is it: the holiday starts here! The scenery is more beautiful than we could have imagined for this flat country, with enchanting roads, a century-old forest and the beautiful Overijsselse Vecht river. Then, suddenly, we find ourselves at the entrance to the Huttopia de Roos campsite, nestled in a lush green environment. Welcome to this haven of peace, open space and nature.

“Time for the last stop on our road trip in Huttopia: Saumur! We leave the Atlantic coast for the Loire. This river, the longest in France, is also one of the last ‘wild rivers’ in Europe.”

“It’s goodbye to one island and hello to another. This time, we head over the île de Ré bridge. The memories start coming back to me straight away – memories of all the summer holidays I spent here with my grandparents.”

“We board a ferry with Rosalie in Verdon-sur-Mer. About a twenty-minute crossing separates us from Royan in Charente-Maritime. Foreign lands and epic voyages seem to be beckoning to us on the wind.”

“We’re now heading for the 7th stop of our road trip in Huttopia! We carry on following the coastline towards Carcans lake in the Landes du Médoc, an area populated by pine trees between the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gironde estuary and the wine-growing area alongside it on the other.”

“It’s time to head for the ocean! We haven’t seen the sea in 7 months, so we can’t wait. We love the mountains of Auvergne, but a bit of sea air just adds that little something extra.”

“We follow country roads to arrive in Périgord Blanc (White Perigord). This is one of the four areas of the Dordogne, all named with a colour. It’s less famous than its purple and black neighbours, which makes us even more excited to discover it.”
