Welcome to the camping and caravanning federation

The Camping and Caravanning Federation (FHPA-LR)
Languedoc-Roussillon

History of the federation

	1950 When the first campsites were set up, there were virtually no regulations, to the extent that, in 1950, the Prefect of Hérault published a little book containing a few rather imprecise guidelines.
	1954 A Departmental Committee for Holiday Colonies and Campsites in Hérault was created by prefectoral order.
	1958 M. de Brunelis and M. Bessil set up the " Hérault Campsite Owners' and Managers' Association". This had twenty members.
	1960 Colleagues in the Gard joined the Association which became the " Hérault and Gard Campsite Owners' and Managers' Association".
	1965 Pyrénées Orientales owners grouped together in the Roussillon Camping and Caravanning Union.
	1970 The Hérault and Gard Campsite Owners' and Managers' Association became a Union in order to join the National Camping and Caravanning Federation.
	1977 A departmental camping and caravanning union was set up in Lozère.
	1979 The Aude Camping-Caravanning Union was set up.
	1985 The Lozère Camping-Caravanning Union joined the Languedoc Camping-Caravanning Federation and became the Languedoc-Lozère Camping-Caravanning Federation.
	1986 Aude joined the Languedoc-Lozère Federation
	1988 The Federation became regional when Pyrénées Orientales joined, and became the Languedoc-Roussillon Camping-Caravanning Federation, which was the only professional body in the region, representing 450 campsites.
