Two nights in a motorhome at this small campsite near the beautiful La Fossette beach. Everything is perfect; there is even a pétanque court with balls available. We would gladly have stayed longer. Its small size makes it charming, as do the quality of the welcome and the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities and showers.Translating
Simple pitch. €26 in the off-season, too expensive. Farm campsite, as the tourist office says.Translating
For your information, this is not a campsite but rather accommodation hosted by a local resident. Strict rules, beware. There is no water point for filling the motorhome; the dishwashing sinks have cold water with very low pressure, deliberately reduced to save money. Do not be fooled by the owner's friendliness—absolutely not. If you are looking for a quiet place with a retirement-home atmosphere, it is perfect. No services at all; I definitely do not recommend it.Translating
We had 13 days here. A lovely little campsite, very close to the beach, easy access to bike routes and great walks in the mountains. The facilities were always very clean, very quiet at night and felt very secure. Karine was very attentive and shared her local knowledge with us, always with a smile. The pitch we had was huge.!
Great place! We had a lovely time. We spontaneously extended our stay by two days. You have peace and quiet to yourself. Great price!Translating
A beautifully maintained campsite. Karin gave us a lovely introduction and was always available for questions. In our opinion, a bicycle is essential. We will return.Translating
A wonderful discovery. Thank you to Karine for her warm welcome. A small facility like we love, with the essentials, quiet and close to the beach, with an adjoining cycle path allowing you to enjoy the seafront safely. Highly recommended. We will gladly return. Stéphane & Virginie.Translating
We spent eight nights at the campsite over Easter 2025. We have rarely had such a relaxed and pleasant camping stay. The site is perfectly located near the beach and is very quiet. It is also perfect for bike and e-bike tours into the mountains, such as the Route des Crêtes and Bormes-les-Mimosas. Many thanks for all the tips, Karine, and for the very personal care. We will definitely return. Petra & JürgenTranslating
We came this summer with a rooftop tent. Karine, the owner of this little haven of happiness, was welcoming and friendly. She gave us good recommendations and kept us informed about events planned in the surrounding area. Quiet, clean and very well-maintained campsite. A few metres from La Fossette beach, with a restaurant. By paddleboard, several sandy beaches are nearby.Translating
A really lovely little place to feel at home! The owner, Karine, is very nice, has organized everything perfectly and creates a very family-like atmosphere. The shower and toilet are very clean. You can easily and safely cycle to Le Lavandou and explore the beautiful town! We would be very happy to return and can highly recommend the campsite.Translating
Thank you to Karine for her welcome, smile and kindness! A simple little campsite with large pitches, set back from the road but with access to the beach 200 metres away! Excellent value for money! A gem on the Côte d’Azur, just the kind of campsite we love! Catherine and FrançoisTranslating
Wonderful small campsite with everything you need: peace, beautiful views, hiking trails, beach, excursion destinations and much more. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful and lovingly looks after the guests and especially the site, which is incredibly well-maintained and clean, particularly the sanitary facilities. I can only highly recommend it. Thank you.Translating
Very friendly welcome from Karin. Large, clean site; Karin checks four times a day and asks whether everything is okay. Everyone must bring their own toilet paper. Dispose of rubbish outside the gate. Cold dishwashing water, but hot water can be obtained in the shower. We would return anytime.Translating
We came in a van. A really pleasant, peaceful and secure motorhome area. Very clean site and sanitary facilities. Spacious pitch. Professional, caring owner who is always available. 200 metres from La Fossette beach. We already want to come back.Translating
Quiet, clean and not very busy. Disadvantage: hiking is not possible because of the main road. It is also unpleasant that both gray and black water flow into nature. Either this is intentional or the wastewater pipe is broken.Translating
A really great campsite. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to return.Translating
Absolutely top-notch. The owner is exceptional—friendly, welcoming, cheerful, and more. The place is very pleasant, close to the beach and in front of the cycle path. The only downside is that the Free mobile network does not work at all. We will gladly return.Translating
The perfect place for a stopover. We spent two nights here and paid €53 for two people, including a dog and electricity. The beach is a five-minute walk away and very beautiful. The sanitary facilities are very clean and there is a camper service. IMPORTANT: shop beforehand and bring cash; only cash or check is accepted. There are no shops or ATMs nearby.Translating
This is the cleanest site we have ever visited in France. Carine, the very warm and caring owner, places great importance on clean pitches and even cleaner sanitary facilities. The site is also ideally located for cycling to Le Lavandou in 10 minutes or visiting the beautiful surrounding sandy beaches. We would gladly return anytime!Translating
Very pleasant, human-sized site, clean and quiet, with beaches, restaurants and cycle paths very easily accessible on foot. Many thanks to Karine for her welcome and for the passion she brings to taking over the management of this campsite from her parents. Truly no faults at all with this place. ClaudeTranslating
Small site with a very nice and accommodating owner. Very close to a beautiful little cove. Great emphasis is placed on security, with the gate always closed. Beautiful, large pitches. Reservations by email required. One star deducted because there is no hot water for washing dishes and you cannot dispose of rubbish in the toilets or at the washing-up area, including hygiene products and food scraps. Otherwise, everything is very clean.Translating
Unfortunately, the site was fully booked. However, we received a very quick and friendly reply by email. It is best to ask early whether a pitch is still available for your desired dates. Maybe it will work out next time.
We contacted Karine a day and a half beforehand and arranged a pitch for May 28–30. Karine sent us all the possible information in advance—perfect! We did laundry and explored the area by bicycle. Everything was excellent and clean. Thank you very much for the wonderful time!
A very nice campsite. Both the site and the sanitary facilities were always clean and well maintained. We stayed here from June 1 to June 6, 2024. Karine is very nice and always helpful. Emails were always answered very promptly and courteously. We would be very happy to return. Thank you for the wonderful time, Karine.
We, in a 6-metre van, have already stayed with Karine twice. The first time, we extended our stay to more than a week! Very clean and beautiful toilets, extremely well-kept and beautiful green areas, very quiet, and a wonderfully friendly and helpful owner. You can relax here. Three minutes’ walk to the beach, 12 minutes by bike to Le Lavandou for shopping. It could not be better. Call or email beforehand to check availability.
Beautiful small campsite with 18 spacious pitches. Two clean sanitary buildings with showers, toilets and sinks. We stayed longer right away! Very nice host who takes care of the site. Best to reserve or register in advance.
A beautiful, small, very clean and quiet campsite with everything you need. Karine is a very kind and caring host. We would gladly return :-)
Super family campsite, very clean and not far from the beach. Karine and her father are very helpful and friendly, and I am looking forward to returning and seeing them again! Fabrice and Véronique
Gorgeous little campsite. Karine is a wonderful host, very welcoming & helpful. Great showers and facilities. Beautiful beach less than a five minute walk away. About 15 minute bike ride into ale Lavandou. Might take slightly longer on way home as there is a hill! We were only staying a couple of nights but have already asked to stay longer!
We had a wonderful time. Everything was very cozy, and the owner was extremely friendly and gave us a very warm welcome. The minimum stay was two nights; we felt so comfortable that we spontaneously extended by one night. We would have liked to stay even longer, but unfortunately it did not fit our schedule. A very beautiful beach is just a short walk away. Best to reserve in advance by email or phone.
