Camping 3, the third installment in Fabien Onteniente's saga, airs on TMC on Wednesday, September 2, 2026 at 9:25 p.m.. Released in cinemas in 2016, this French comedy reunites Franck Dubosc in the role of Patrick Chirac, still faithful to Camping des Flots Bleus.
To join his friends on the Atlantic coast, Patrick decides this year to give carpooling a try. Although he hoped to travel with a certain Vanessa, he ends up riding with three young locals from Dijon: Robert, Benji, and José. Once they arrive, the newcomers need somewhere to stay, and Patrick extends the experience with what he calls “co-sleeping,” housing them under his tent.
At the campsite, Jacky and Laurette Pic are settling back into their routines, while Paulo Gatineau faces a tougher stretch after his split from Sophie. The arrival of Robert, Benji and José introduces a generational gap between the Flots Bleus regulars and these younger vacationers, forcing Patrick Chirac to adapt to new ways of traveling, communicating, and living as a group.
Around Franck Dubosc, the film once again brings together Claude Brasseur, Mylène Demongeot, Antoine Duléry, Laurent Olmedo and Christine Citti. Gérard Jugnot and Michèle Laroque also join the cast, alongside Louka Meliava, Jules Ritmanic and Cyril Mendy in the roles of the three young carpoolers.
Fabien Onteniente and Franck Dubosc co-sign the screenplay. The film expands the universe established by Camping, released in 2006, followed by Camping 2 in 2010. This third installment preserves the idea of summer reunions while shifting the group dynamics with a new generation of characters.
