3 types of Yamaha golf carts to consider for your camping trip

Your campsite is already wonderful… except when you have to run around everywhere

You can probably picture the scene: the season is picking up speed, the vacationers are arriving (sometimes the whole family, grandma included), your team is juggling bungalows, restrooms, reception… and someone is always missing, either with a set of keys or a mysteriously misplaced screwdriver. The result: a daily marathon, sweltering in the sun or during a thunderstorm (nothing stops a camper, especially not the weather). The solution? No, not a teleporter (even though we're still stuck on the prototype). It's the famous Yamaha golf carts: robust, versatile, and already adopted by so many campsites and hotels that it's hard to imagine doing without them.
But between the promise of easy mobility and the jungle of models, a real challenge arises: how to choose THE right type of Yamaha golf cart? The one that won't break down after three turns, that will really withstand the intensity of the high season… and that won't require an arm and a leg for maintenance or recharging?

Why does the Yamaha golf cart stand out?

Let's not kid ourselves: in the world of campsites and hotels, Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself. According to an INSEE study reported in the FNHPA 2024 dossier (source), service comfort and internal mobility are among the top criteria for attracting customers (and retaining staff!). Add to that the strong trend, revealed in the ADEME 2023 study on the rise of electric and sustainable solutions in outdoor hospitality… and you understand why the Yamaha golf cart has become more essential than a mosquito net in July.
The real question remains: which Yamaha should you choose, and for what purposes? Let's explore three types of golf carts that make all the difference!

The classic 2-seater Yamaha: the must-have for logistics

Imagine your star entertainer, your maintenance team, or security gliding silently from one bungalow to another: that's the magic of the 2-seater electric model, compact, maneuverable, and designed to devour the tarmac or sandy paths of the campsite. This version – the most widespread and easiest to master – is essential for all express journeys, even the most discreet (forget the temptation to honk the horn, your campers love peace and quiet). Suitable for both maintenance and surveillance, these vehicles have an average range of 50 to 60 km depending on the model (source), which is more than enough to cover a large structure throughout the day.
Another advantage – and a significant one – is that the 2-seater version supports all the variations and customizations necessary to suit your image and needs: safety equipment, luggage racks, rain covers – everything is possible, everything is modular! Discover it in our selection of Yamaha golf carts.

The concrete advantages of 2 places

• Impressive agility, even on difficult terrain
• Minimal electricity consumption (and you can tell by the bill!)
• Easy maintenance, with dedicated guides for extend the lifespan of your Yamaha
• Optimized service (your campers don't have to wait, nor does the team)

It's the ideal ally for all professionals who tolerate no glitches in the organization – and for those who like to optimize their investment with some targeted usage tips.

(A simple calculation reveals that the technical team travels an average of 10 km per day on a campsite with 200 pitches… imagine the difference over three months.)

Is a 6-seater really necessary?

• Absolutely, if you're anticipating groups, large families, or the extended cousins' season
• Essential for enhancing your VIP experience at trade fairs, seminars, or weddings.
• Ideal for pooling the work of your teams (departures, infrastructure checks, setting up activities)

Our customers find these models unbeatable in terms of robustness and adaptability: the loading platform allows you to carry approximately 200 kg, perfect for avoiding many trips back and forth (and saving your staff's backs). As proof, 68% of establishments equipped with a utility golf cart report having reduced their logistical travel time by 30%, according to the IPSOS report for AVERE France (source).
