Just back from Camp du Pylone. I am very surprised at some of the reviews it has received. There were 7 of us. 4 children, our au-pair and ourselves. While the kids loved it, we ourselves were disappointed with many aspects of the site. We spent c. €50 a day at the swimming pool - that's €2 entrance fee each, ice creams were €2.50 - €3 each; drinks €1.50 and you have to hire floats at €5 for one hour. There was no toilet roll, no seats on the toilets, no basins to wash hands, no life guard at the kiddies pool and no first aid if children hurt themselves. We spent €1,000 at the pool alone over 21 days! The entertainment at night was poor and the bar is expensive for drinks. Some of the mobile homes are very poor quality. We were very disappointed. Between us and friends we saw 8 mobiles, most of them were poor quality, old, tattered and should not be rented out. Then bedding and towels are extra!

The location is great but we definitely won't be back. There are too many other campsites which are better value for money, have much better facilities and offer a wider choice of options for the kiddies....................disappointed all around and we spent a fortune!

I agree with all that has been said about this campsite it has got it all from sun, entertainment and pool etc, my only gripe was with the pitch not the pitch so much but the caravan I rented. AVOID PLOT 528 if you got any sense.

A regular at campsites throughout France, I found the Pylône at Antibes to be more like a military camp than a place to relax in good company. The toilets are in a sad state, the entertainment is even sadder; the noise is insufferable, as is the owner, who at the slightest request will threaten to expel you. It doesn't help being French, as in this campsite, everything is done for the benefit of foreigners, who its would seem to me must be less discerning (especially in regard to prices).

Very pleasant campsite. Staff very friendly. What a joy.

We have just returned from eight nights in Camp du Pylone, booked through Ann and Harvey Christie, van was excellent and had air conditioning which was great, would most definitely book through them again, it is a great location, ideal for getting out and about. Staff at restaurant very friendly but cannot say that about the shop staff. My only gripe would be everything was expensive, ie drinks, supermarket, gift shop, food at the restaurant is good value for money. My other complaint would be the entertainment goes over at 11pm, way too early if you are on holiday. I agree with other comments about the charge for the pool and cost of sun bed hire, also it is too expensive to purchase ice cream or drinks from the pool area. Apart from this I love the place and hope to return next year.

Very pleasant campsite: the staff was super, and very welcoming. I really liked this site.

On the other hand, avoid hiring a mobile home privately owned by Mr Gavalda, as you'll be very disappointed. Ours was rotten and very dirty. So be careful what you hire.

I have just returned from this site and found it to be ideally located and great for kids.

I was very disappointed though with the caravan rented, it was old, the sink and toilet wobbled and in all we felt that the place would fall to pieces at any given time (and they had the cheek to ask us for a deposit in case WE broke anything).

The toilets on site had no seats or toilet roll.

I would only return to the site if I had seen the caravan before hand (we spent some time going round the site jotting down numbers for the NICE privately owned caravans who rent them out).
