When and where can I see Camping 3?

Camping 3 will be available on Netflix from July 15, 2025.

Synopsis: Like every summer, our friends Les Pic, Jacky and Laurette, Gatineau, just divorced from Sophie, 37, and Patrick Chirac, faithful to his habits, gather at the Camping des Flots Bleus for their vacations. This year, Patrick has decided to try carpooling... Thinking of crossing France with Vanessa, he ends up with three young people from Dijon: Robert the charmer, Benji the handsome and José the loudmouth. Of course, after carpooling, Patrick is forced to try co-couchage...

A return marked by a generation gap

Camping 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, with an unchanged setting but a new dynamic: this time, Patrick Chirac is confronted by a young, uninhibited crowd. The clash of generations becomes a central comic element, between old campground regulars and unexpected newcomers, in a summertime atmosphere that's as cartoonish and good-natured as ever.

Familiar faces are always present

Alongside Franck Dubosc, the film reunites Claude Brasseur and Mylène Demongeot for the last time in their cult roles. The cast also includes Antoine Duléry, Christine Citti and Laurent Olmedo. This continuity in the characters helps maintain a troupe spirit, reinforcing the audience's attachment to this comedy series.

A sequel designed for fans of the saga

Following on from Camping (2006) and Camping 2 (2010), this third installment continues the humorous exploration of French-style vacations. It takes up the well-established codes: annual reunions, neighborhood problems, camping traditions and community life. The simultaneous release of the three films on Netflix means you can (re)discover the entire trilogy in an ideal summer setting.

Target audience and comparison

Camping 3 is aimed at viewers who enjoyed the first two installments, as well as fans of French family comedies such as Les Bronzés and Les Tuche. Nostalgic fans of the 2000s will find the codes of popular French humor, while younger viewers can discover the world of Patrick Chirac and his now-cult lines.
