I think it would be appropriate to be a little less critical. The new owners have only been in place since the beginning of Spring 2011.

I find that they have already done a lot for this campsite, and this is going to continue, as these young folk have further plans, notably for the pool.

I love this campsite for its friendly character, and it's location on the edge of Argelès, giving me the chance to escape the bottlenecks of the main beach.

The only downside of any significance is the 4-lane highway that passes close by; the constant noise is truly intolerable. The local authority should have acted long ago to install some effective measures against the noise.

I've had a mobile home here for nearly 20 years, and I intend to continue to enjoy the benefit of it.

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

Very chilly reception; very unpleasant manageress; no communication is possible with this woman. The campsite is far from clean; pool is a scandal; prices are too high for this site; no entertainment; very dangerous access to the beach.

The photos on their website are misleading!

First of all, the pool is small, and above all the paddling pool is dangerous, as every day children were cutting their feet! As for the water in the pool, it had very little chlorine, and the water in the paddling pool was murky.

The playground for the children is right at the bottom of the site.

There is only one toilet block for the whole site, which is closed from 1-3pm!

No entertainment, and the restaurant, if you can call it that, apparently only just opened, and it is expensive, not very welcoming, and rather dirty.

This does not warrant 3 stars.

Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that the site is located between the motorway and a railway line! Goes without saying that you're best off in the middle of the site, to avoid disturbance.

We won't be coming back here, that's for sure!

Never again! A two hour wait in midday heat to get the keys, rudimentary pitch without parasol or other shade, no privacy between pitches, rudimentary pool, dangerous trip to the beach on foot! Infernal noise from cars on the roads, you can't leave the campsite after 11pm, and for the price, they could have provided aircon and TV, and above all, been pleasant, for they certainly were not.

Shameful, scandalous! Untruthful publicity on the web!

When we left, we cleaned everything thoroughly, and left the mobile home in a much better state than when we arrived, and this cleaning lady (Rumanian) who came to check told me that the fridge and the coffee maker were dirty!

Owners are unfriendly, and there is no entertainment for youngsters! Noisy site (two main roads and a railway within earshot). You’ll need to take the car to go to the beach! In summary, a site to avoid!

My friend and I hired a flat in September 2008. When we arrived at the flat, the room had not been cleaned, and the previous occupants sheets were still on the beds, and a horrible smell filled the whole place.

We thought it would stop there, but we didn't stop arguing with the owner, very unpleasant, wouldn't even say good morning.

When we left, we had thoroughly cleaned everything, but she still shouted at us, as we should have done the gas oven with oven cleaner to make sure it was clean...

You really should avoid this campsite, if you do not want to go head to head with the owners!

Shameful! Scandalous! This campsite had not seemed too bad, but the day of departure spoilt everything! We left the bungalow in a much better state than when we arrived, and the unscrupulous owners had nonetheless tried to keep our deposit. A real ripoff!

This was the first time anyone has asked me to clean the windows of the mobil home before I leave. At these prices, it's shameful.

The owner is disagreeable. The campsite is noisy, being surrounded by the main road to Collioure, the Perpignan bypass, and to round it off, the train. Beware, there are lots of young campers who drink all day without moderation, and who have little respect for other people's sleep.

There's s simple bar where they sell bread, but you have to get there before 11am, as after that there's no more for the rest of the day.

No emergency groceries, nothing! Pathetic children's play area.

No notice board. Practically no activities.

Only positive points: a pool that is simple but lovely, and a lovely mobile home, but be careful of your choice, for they have some that are very old.

This review is rather old. Treat it with care.

Very nice campsite, but the owners are very disagreeable people.

The showers lack pressure, the toilets and showers are closed between 1 and 4 pm.

The roads are not illuminated to help you get home at night.

Very few activities. The owner turns his nose up at campers.
