Camping les Baumelles

Alan Rogers Review of Camping les Baumelles

Les Baumelles is a deceptively large site with camping arranged over four distinct areas. The site has 360 pitches for touring and a small number of mobile homes to rent. The front and rear of the site are relatively flat with a steeply terraced middle area. All pitches have some shade and vary greatly in size. Larger units may have difficulty traversing the site due to the terracing and twin-axle caravans over 5.5 m. are not accepted. Located in a bay between two small, pretty towns, it is only 50 m. to the large white sandy beach. The nearby towns of Les Lecques and La Mandrague both offer a good choice of restaurants and bars.

The site also has a small restaurant and bar offering a limited menu and a shop which sells local fresh produce. There are large supermarkets within 2 km. Watersports are available at the beach including sailing, scuba diving, windsurfing and sea kayaking. During July and August, a ‘petit locomotive’ runs along the coast. At 10 km. away, the town of Cassis is worth visiting for its large white cliffs and lovely hidden creeks.
