: Yes. I worked in-house for a company making software for "l'hôtellerie de plein air" and this was always my go-to solution. I notice they also use this translation on the INSEE website: https://www.insee.fr/en/metadonnees/source/serie/s1243/

campsite sector
Be careful not to over-interpret here: it is just a poncy euphemism for 'camping', in all its shapes and forms, but by no means only 'glamping' etc.

: I think that this might not involve tents or caravans, just a new fad for those with more money than sense.

Thanks, B! It might not... but that's what it USUALLY means — and includes tree-houses, gypsy caravans, igloos, yurts, etc.

glamping
*If* you can confirm it's high-end, and not just tent-camping, then I would say glamping! Very frequently used. Examples abound. Run a google search. : )
