Artcamping Plateau des Chasses can be found close to the beaches of the Côte d’Azur, with easy access from the A8 motorway. This site has been developed as a centre for creating and displaying all manner of art works. These are displayed around the site, interspersed between eucalyptus, mimosa, oak and pine. There are 131 terraced pitches, all with electrical connections and generally well shaded. A number of mobile homes and chalets are available to rent, including a mobile home specially adapted with accessible facilities. On-site facilities include a swimming pool, sports field and convivial restaurant, specialising in Provençal cuisine.
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.
Camping Lou Gourdan is found in the heart of the Alpes-Maritimes. You'll be just a short drive from not one but three national parks: the Mercantour, the Verdon Gorge, and the Préalpes d'Azur. On-site, there are 24 touring pitches with 10-amp electric hook-up points available. The pitches are meticulously landscaped and level, bordered by hedges and punctuated by charming lampposts. Lshade from young trees provides the ideal shade needed during the summer months.
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.
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.
Camping Tikayan La Pinatelle is a campsite nestled on the heights of the Alpes Maritimes, halfway between Nice-Grasse and the Verdon countryside. It offers a superb view of the village of Saint Auban and its cliffs. On-site, there are 27 touring pitches, which have electric hook-up points available. Pitches are delimited, and mature pine trees cover the majority of the campsite, giving plenty of shade during the summer.
Parc des Maurettes is a small site 400 m. from the beach. There are 108 pitches, of which 92 are used for touring units. There is a wide selection of pitches suitable for tents right up to American motorhomes (max 9 m. length). The pitches are terraced with good access, and some serviced pitches are available (3/10/16A electricity). The site has an indoor spa complex with sauna, jacuzzi and a small resistance swimming pool. A superb games room has traditional games set into table tops. The site does suffer from some background road and industry noise. Good English is spoken.
This well situated site, currently under dynamic new ownership, is open all year and is located in the stylish resort of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, with easy access to Cannes and Nice. There are 62 well shaded pitches with 25 for touring units, most with electricity. Mobile homes to rent are placed on the remaining 37 pitches. Many attractive trees and shrubs have been planted around the site, including eucalyptus and mimosa. The nearest beach (La Napoule) is 800 m. Several municipal tennis courts are adjacent, and the Mandelieu golf club is also very close. On-site amenities include a bar, restaurant and a small gym. The new owners are working hard to update the site and when we visited had just completed a new toilet block incorporating the latest equipment.
Le Rossignol's small and quiet campsite has 111 terraced pitches on a gentle, sloping site in a quiet, urban area northeast of Antibes. There are 84 pitches for touring, all with electricity, the remaining pitches being used for mobile homes to rent. The site is close to the coast, with the beach 1.2 km. away through the town, it is ideally located to explore Antibes or the wider French Riviera.
Yelloh! Village Saint Louis is situated in the heart of a peaceful, protected, sun-drenched landscape only 5km from Cannes.

The site has 20 grass touring pitches, 15 with 6amp electric hook-up point. There are 100 mobile homes available for rent.
Camping le Haut Chandelalar is a spacious, family run naturist campsite high in the Alpes Maritimes, east of Castelallane and only 1 km. from Brianconnet.

The 70 grass pitches are car-free during high season, reasonably level and naturally laid out in woodland glades offering some shade. All have 10A electricity (Europlug). After an active day you can relax by the pool or around the bar and then enjoy a gourmet meal prepared by the very entertaining site owner.
This site is situated in a valley of outstanding natural beauty with dramatic views of medieval villages clinging to the hillsides. Many visitors here appreciate the usual fine Riviera weather during the day, but with cooler nights due to the site’s location in the hills. The English owners attract many long-stay British residents, but the location and the quiet, friendly atmosphere also attracts many other nationalities. Les Rives du Loup is predominately for mobile homes but there are 14 pitches (out of a total of 116), which can take touring units, all with electricity. Accommodation also includes a hotel. Situated in the pass north of Colle-sur-Loup, the site is some 15 km. from the beaches and 6 km. west of Tourrettes.
Origan is a naturist site set in the mountains behind Nice at a height of 500 m. The access road is single track and winding with passing places. The site’s terrain is fairly wild and some roads are stony, so it is unsuitable for caravans longer than six metres due to the steep slopes. The 60 touring pitches across the site, are irregular shapes and sizes and have good views. Electricity connection (6A) is possible on most pitches (by long cable). The bar area, backing onto an impressive rock face (lit at night), overlooks a very attractive pool complex. Reservation is necessary in high season.
Camping la Paoute is a charming campsite in the heart of Grasse, the world-renowned perfume capital. This family-friendly haven offers a tranquil escape amidst the beauty of the French Riviera. Immerse yourself in the charm of the traditional French countryside as you explore this terraced campsite. Camping La Paoute offers 78 pitches, including 44 spacious pitches for touring units with 10-amp hook-ups. Additionally, 34 mobile homes can be rented for a comfortable stay. The campsite is a haven of greenery, with olive, fig, oleander, and pine trees creating a beautiful backdrop and providing much-needed shade on pitches during the summer months.
Domaine Sainte Madeleine is an attractive, peaceful site with a swimming pool amongst spectacular mountain scenery. It is about 20 km. inland from Menton and very near the Italian border. The approach to this site involves a 17 km. climb with hairpin bends and then a choice of going over the Col de Castillon or through an 800 m. long tunnel (3.5 m. high, 3 m. wide). Situated on a terraced hillside with mountain views towards Italy, manoeuvring within the site presents no problem as the pitches are on level, well drained grass. The lower ones have good shade but those higher up on the hill have less. Electricity (10A) is available on all 90 pitches.
Le Sourire is a member of the Parc Saint-James group. There are 411 pitches here and many are occupied by mobile homes and chalets, many residential. However, there are about 80 touring pitches dispersed throughout the wooded terrain, some of which are on soft sandy soil. Electricity (6A) is available on 42. A stream runs through the camping area and it can flood. A large swimming pool has a regular programme of activities. Some pitches are close to the main road so you may experience some road noise.
Camping Le Colombier in Cagnes-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes) is in the hills above the seaside town, on a quiet road, but is very peaceful away from the bustle of the seaside. The site has just 34 touring pitches with 6-amp hook-up points. The campsite provides a cosy and intimate atmosphere. While French is the primary language, the reception staff's English is excellent, ensuring a smooth check-in experience. Upon arrival, you'll receive helpful guidance on finding nearby supermarkets, shops, and bus stops. Free Wi-Fi is available near reception for those who still want to keep in touch with the rest of the world. If staying here, you will be given a key to open the campsite gate as it is locked at all times.
This small and delightful, family run site is set amongst small trees and oleander hedges that give welcome shade. There are 40 level and grassy touring pitches each with electricity (4/6/10A). Some are on the banks of the Siagne river which provides excellent fishing. A small number of chalets and mobile homes are available for rent. In high season, activities are organised for children and adults, both on site and in the surrounding hills. The swimming pool and pleasant snack bar make a welcome relaxation point after a day exploring nearby Cannes. A regular bus service stops just outside the campsite.
La Bergerie is a quiet, family owned site, situated in the hills about 3km from Vence and Saint Paul de Vence. 10km from the sea at Cagnes sur Mer. This extensive, lightly wooded site has been left very natural and is in a secluded position about 300m above sea level. Because of the trees most of pitches are shaded and all are of a good size. It is a large site but because it is so extensive it does not give that impression. There are 434 pitches, 300 with electricity (66 also with water and drainage) and 4 of them with private sanitary. Ther are also various types of accommodation to rent including the new Mobile Home Malaga Duo. Because of the nature of this site some pitches are a litle distance from the toilet blocks.
Ranch Camping is a very basic, French-flavoured site. The ambience here is calm and there is relatively little by way of entertainment or leisure amenities. The site is very well located for the beaches of Cannes, just 2 km. away; a regular bus service runs 300 m. past the site entrance. Despite its urban setting the site enjoys a tranquil position on a wooded hillside. There are 102 touring pitches of varying sizes, which are generally level and well shaded, all with 6A electricity connections. The swimming pool is quite small and can be covered in low season. Other leisure facilities are nearby.

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.
