We were at this campsite for the first fortnight of July, in the Bastidon (6-person) behind the pool, and it was clean, quite large, just the small problem of not enough place settings and glasses.

Super children's club, and excellent entertainment, with a super chief entertainer. We were able to participate in the Olympiad on the 14 July, where we lost “red against blue”.

There were lots of Dutch, who cried the day of their defeat in the World Cup, and quite a few Belgians.

Pools were clean, large and well maintained, with lifeguards everywhere.

Snack bar and restaurant were excellent, the shop was great, and the best of all, for we tried it, were the really excellent massages.

A nice gesture was the bottle of rosé on arrival.

For the children, the arrival of the circus, and bouncy castles, was great as well.

We came back for the weekend last week, but this time in a mobile home (number 46), and is was really well situated, and very clean.

We have just returned from this site and have mixed views. The reception was quick and efficient and our pitch was spacious and surrounded by attractive shrubs and trees. However, even though we were 2 lanes back from the wall we found the motorway noise very intrusive, particularly at about 5 am. The level of noise does depend on the direction of the wind but sometimes it was almost unbearable.

Our boys aged 11, 13 and 15 found it hard to meet other kids as usually they would make friends at the football pitch but this was constantly hogged by young french adults who played very roughly when our boys tried to join in.

The area around the site was excellent, loads to do for all ages and the restaurants we tried were generally of a high standard. Lots of lovely beaches and the weather was fantastic for the whole two weeks.

The pools at the site were seriously in need of updating as there were large areas of paint flaking off in the childrens pool and jacuzzi and the whole of the pool and shopping area needs a good lick of paint as it is very stained and shabby. In contrast the loos, showers and washing up areas were in very good condition and kept very clean.

We would not return to this site, mainly due to the road noise and the state of the pools but would return to the area.

Had another great two weeks again here in Aug 10 as an independent camper which with its Botanical vegetation is the prettiest and best equipped site around. Our pitch was a good size near the entrance end of this very large site but beware for those with very large out fits that the pitch sizes do vary a lot and you may find you will have to park your car some where else. Difficult to guarrantee a big pitch at the peak times in July and Aug. The on site entertainment kept my 16 year old daughter and friend amused and they made many friends. It is a well established site that does have a mix of new and very old washing facilities but it was plentiful and mostly clean. The site shop is adequate for the essentials but very expensive so stock up at the Hyper market where possible. My only negative the site is 5 Km from the beach and centre of Fréjus if you want to drink late at the local bars. Reception staff were helpful and spoke good English.

  Remember that people are always more prepared to write and complain than they are to praise good service.  
 

I've been going to this site for more than 15 years, I find it brilliant, with very good entertainment, except that things are going downhill over time.

- The bottom of the pools are damaged, the paint, or worse the tiles, are coming off, with the risk of cutting your feet. Same for the surrounds, where the ground is rutted (doubtless due to the frosts of recent years).

- Evening entertainment is more and more repetitive.

- No longer any signs to help you find where you are

Summary: the campsite has grown, and for the last 2 or 3 years has installed mobile homes. It's no longer of a human size, it's profit above all, and hard luck if you're not happy. They turn away plenty of people each year, and have no reason to care about you.

Very noisy campsite. You need to avoid all of the pitches that are alongside the A8 motorway. Also avoid those that are close to the staff tents (very noisy both day and night). It's a shame, as the facilities have been renovated, and are superb.

Superb campsite, lovely greenery, the pools are very nice, though there's some deterioration on the ground of the terraces, some of which is slippery to the point of being dangerous. The evening entertainment starts too late at 11pm, cars are still moving around all night, as there is a road through the campsite, as well as an autoroute nearby.

In summary, a noisy campsite, and the pools need some attention.
