Camping la Vieille Ferme

Alan Rogers Review of Camping la Vieille Ferme

In a popular resort area that is open all year, la Vieille Ferme is an oasis of calm. Just 1 km from the sea and 4km from Antibes, located halfway between Nice and Cannes yet set in a wooded location (which offers much-needed shade in the high season). The site offers 119 pitches divided by established hedging with 6-10 amp EHU, and 95 are fully serviced. The campsite is surrounded by Parc Vaugrenier, a protected natural area of 110 hectares containing woodland and meadows with a bird observatory, children's play area and fitness trail. It is a natural area ideal for long family walks, hiking, and dog walking. There are special winter rates for long stays, and quite a few long-stay units are on-site during the winter. The entrance to the site is welcoming and very colourful, with well-tended flower beds. English is spoken at reception, and the whole place has a very friendly feel to it. 

On-site, you will find a  heated swimming/children's pool that can be covered if the weather is cooler, A shop selling essentials although a large supermarket is just 1.5 km away, a bar/snack bar offering takeaway food, a bouncy castle, and in high season a selection of entertainments ( please note this is an all year site and some activities will not be available during the low season-please check on web site)

Please remember that the site is on a slope if you have limited mobility, although all pitches are level. Site reception closes 12.00-2.00 low season 12.30 -1.30 high season.

Villeneuve-Loubet is a historic village with a castle and museums. Antibes, 4 km. away, has ramparts, a Napoleonic museum and a Picasso museum. Friendly and Grasse are within easy reach, and Monaco is possible for a day trip, as is a journey into Italy.
