Les Mures is a site on the Gulf of St Tropez, and it really is on the Gulf with direct access to its own beach. This is a modern site offering the highest standard of amenities. The site is divided into two parts: ‘The Vineyard’ and ‘The Beach’. There are Pitches located directly on the beach, with direct access to the Mediterranean. ‘The Vineyard’ is just a short distance on the other side of a very busy road (connected by a pedestrian underpass) and is more spacious and offers a little more shade; this is where most of the site facilities are located.
This site is now part of the Yelloh Village group, and standards on their sites are consistently high - Camping La Plage du Dramont is no exception. Check-in was efficient, and English was spoken; there is a large waiting area, and once you pass through the initial barrier, you will then be given directions to your pitch. There are 113 touring pitches, which have electric hook-up points available. These are generally open plan, under tree shade, but very dry and dusty due to the Mediterranean climate.
Les Tournels is a large site set on a hillside and pitches have panoramic views of the Gulf of Saint Tropez and Pampelonne beach. The hillside is covered in parasol pines and old olive trees. Of the 890 pitches, 457 are available for touring. They are reasonably level and shady, of variable size, all with electricity and many also with water and waste water drainage. The swimming pool, play area, shop and bar may be some distance away. The site has a superb new spa centre with gym, sauna and jacuzzi, with an excellent pool alongside, all reserved for over 18s, and a new restaurant with a large terrace. Competitions and shows are organised for adults and children in July and August.
Camp du Domaine is located along the coast just outside the town of Bormes and is 3 km. south of Le Lavandou. The same family has run this large, attractive beachside site for 70 years. With 1040 touring pitches, 957 of which are level and have 10/16A electricity, you can pitch either in the shade in one of the pine forests or the most popular pitches beside the beach with a sea view. Pitches are generous (80-150sqm), but those located furthest from the beach are the largest with more shade. There are also 280 mobile homes/bungalows to rent situated on the hillside with superb views.
Camping International at Giens is a popular windsurfers’ paradise. The site has its own school with the beach just across the quiet coast road. With around 200 pitches in total, there are 80 available for touring units, many of these just being used by tents. This site is ideal for those seeking an active holiday. As well as the opportunities for windsurfing, the beach is just 200 m. away and there are bicycles available for hire. The peninsula is a working area, as opposed to a bustling seaside resort like those to be found on the main coast nearby.
Sandaya Douce Quiétude is just a 10-minute drive from the sandy beaches at Saint Raphaël and Agay (with campsite shuttle transport) but is quietly situated at the foot of the Estérel Massif. There are around 440 pitches, 90 for touring units and 260 for fully equipped mobile homes for rent, some with air-conditioning, dishwasher and jacuzzi.
La Baume is a large, busy site about 5.5 km from the long sandy beach of Fréjus-Plage, although with its fine and varied selection of swimming pools many people do not bother to make the trip. The pools, with their palm trees, are remarkable for their size and variety (water slides, etc) – the very large feature pool being a highlight. There is also an aquatic play area, two indoor pools with a slide and the new Armata spa area. The site has 240 adequately sized, fully serviced pitches, separated by hedges and most have shade. Although tents are accepted, the site concentrates mainly on caravanning. It becomes full in season.
Camping Sandaya Rivièra d’Azur is an excellent site near the Côte d’Azur that will take you away from the Mediterranean coast's bustle. Spread out over ten hectares, this is a well-equipped holiday destination with pitches arranged along avenues. The 188 touring pitches average 100 sq.m. in size, and all have electricity connections and, unusually, private sanitary facilities (although washbasins double as dishwashing sinks). There are 340 accommodation units for rent, most of which were installed after ongoing investment by the owners. There is a free shuttle to the beach at Saint Aygulf.
Camping Sandaya La Barque is located in Fréjus, on the banks of the Argens river . It's perfect for those looking for a relaxing and fun-filled camping holiday in the south of France. There are 26 touring pitches with electric hook-up points available. Most are spacious and shaded, and many have a view of the pool or the river.
La Pansard is a large site with 400 pitches and direct access to the beach. With a mix of mobile homes and touring pitches, most of the touring areas are located around the beach area and under shady pine trees. The pitches are sandy and of average size (80-100 sq.m) but suffer from a lack of suitably placed electrical connections and water points. Some pitches will require extremely long leads. The site has good sports facilities and a comprehensive small supermarket. There is a large separate car park area for boats. Some English is spoken. This stretch of coast is very sheltered with a shallow beach safe for swimming.
This is a large, modern site with excellent Eco credentials. Access is very easy; reception is modern and very efficient in most European languages. The site has a large selection of properties to rent and 300 touring pitches. All pitches have E.H.U. and a freshwater tap, pitches are large and separated by low hedges, all have tree shade, and the site is level, offering good access for all. The site provides a cycle hire service, and you can cycle to the beaches of St. Agulf in under 15 minutes, or if you wish, there is also a regular water taxi straight from the site to the beach. An alternative is to relax around the beautiful pool and bar area.
Le Relais de la Bresque Flower Camping, in Sillans-la-Cascade, a typical little village in the heart of the Var. Situated in the largest falls of the Var and the Lake of Sainte-Croix, you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing trip in the middle of the Provence. The campsite has 80 pitches some with electrical hook up points and set over an area of 3 hectares in between the shade of olive trees. Experience all the joys of activities at this campsite where you can find a playground, mini-golf, outdoor pool area with paddling pool, petanque court, foosball, billiards and ping-pong tables.
Camping Saint-Lazare is a small traditional French campsite conveniently located 15 minutes from Lac de Sainte-Croix and 30 minutes from the Gorges du Verdon, making it an ideal campsite for day trips to see the sights. The charming village of Aups, known for its truffles and Provençal markets, is also nearby. On-site, there are 45 touring pitches with electric hook-up points available. Pitches are delimited by hedging and are well-shaded by mature olive, acacias, and mulberry bushes.
Les Lauriers Roses is an attractive, small site with up-to-date facilities and the emphasis on comfort and relaxation. Steeply terraced over two hectares with views of the Mediterranean, it is owned by a friendly Dutch family who will personally site caravans on some of the more challenging areas of the site. There are 83 pitches (67 for touring units with 6A electricity) of a good size, the majority set out on individual terraces. Units over 7.5 m. and twin-axle caravans are not accepted. Good English is spoken. A peaceful, comfortable site, there is a large, heated outdoor swimming pool with an adjoining bar and restaurant area.
This is a straightforward site to approach but unusual as you go through the suburbs of Cannes past supermarkets, shopping complexes and cinemas; when you go through the industrial area, you have doubts.
Parc les Cigales is an accommodation-only site benefiting from the shady environment of cork umbrella pines, further enhanced by olives, palm trees and colourful shrubs. The terrain is typical of the area with rough, sloped and stony, dry ground, but the pitches are of a good size, terraced where necessary and nestling amongst the trees. There are 450 pitches in total, 277 mobile homes and chalets to rent; the remainder are privately owned. The restaurant/bar area overlooks the attractive new aquapark. Convenient for the autoroute (from which there is road noise), this is a spacious family site away from the coast.
Camping le Parc is a small and peaceful site just 35 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the Côte d’Azur, where you will receive a warm welcome by the owners. Set in the heart of Provence, there are about 120 mostly level pitches, 55 of which are a good size for touring (all with 10A electricity), the remainder taken by mobile homes and chalets for rent or privately owned. Pitches are partly shaded by oak trees which let enough sunlight through to give an open feel to the site. It is a good base for visiting the nearby Provençal hilltop villages with colourful markets. These might include Fayence, Seillans (classed as one of the most beautiful villages in France), Caillan and Montauroux.
Les Pinèdes is 7 km. inland from the busy coast, at the centre of all the attractions of the Côte d’Azur, yet far enough away to be a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. Run by the third generation of family owners, the site is terraced on a wooded hillside where olives and vines used to grow. All 108 touring pitches are level and have electricity (6-10A), most also with water and they are separated by low bushes. There are also 41 mobile homes and chalets available to rent. In May the evenings are alive with fireflies.
Situated in the valley next to the river Loup, this small site lies close to the Côte d’Azur, but up in the hills away from all the bustle of the Mediterranean coast. The climate here is pleasant with fine days, but cooler evenings. The entrance to the site is a little tight, but once installed you can truly relax amongst the cork, oak, pine and mimosa. The three hectare site is reasonably flat with many umbrella pines for shade. There are 60 separated pitches for touring caravans and tents, 60-90 sq.m. in size and all with 10A electricity. Some pitches are on the banks of the Loup.
Domaine de la Cigalière is located in the picturesque Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, surrounded by the Maures mountains. The charming villages of Les Arcs, Lorgues, and Tourtour are within driving distance. The campsite itself offers spacious pitches, primarily separated by charming low stone walls. With 71 pitches, the site caters to various preferences. Touring enthusiasts will find 25 pitches spread across terraces, shaded by oak, pine, and olive trees, each equipped with a 10-amp hook-up. Additionally, 36 seasonal pitches and ten rental mobile homes are available for those seeking more extended stays or alternative accommodation.

Côte d'Azur
The sleepy villages, sunny vineyards and pretty lavender fields of Provence sit in stark contrast to the cosmopolitan towns and thronging beaches of the Côte d’Azur, one of France’s most popular destinations
The glittering Côte d’Azur, perhaps better known as the French Riviera, is a beautiful stretch of coast studded with sophisticated towns such as the famous Monte Carlo, Nice, and Cannes, not forgetting the other famous and arguably the most glamorous resort of St Tropez. With its vast golden sandy beaches and long lazy hours of sunshine, this is a paradise for sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts. It’s a spectacular coast of rugged coves and warm seas. The quaint harbours and fishing villages have become chic destinations, now full of pleasure yachts, harbour-side cafés and crowded summertime beaches. Inland, St Paul-de-Vence, with its shops and galleries, and Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, are popular destinations for visitors, surrounded by the Provençal lavender fields and shady olive groves that fill the air with a magical scent at certain times of the year.
