We stayed at the camping for 10 nights in September 2025. We went with the Mimosa tiny house for four adults. The house is indeed tiny, but very comfortable and has a very big, covered terrace (we only slept in the house). Note there is only one bedroom and the other bed is a daybed (pull-out sofa) in the living room - this is mentioned in the description, but was not 100% clear for me from the description. The house was clean, the equipment was as described. The Mimosa houses are located in the top part of the village, which gives a lot of privacy (you basically don't see the rest of the camping from your terrace), but requires walking uphill (50meters or so). Due to the location of our house, we were not bothered by the road traffic - this may be the case for the pitches/accomodations located lower (although the road was not very busy at all during our stay there). There's a small shop selling bread and basic food items, but there are plenty of bigger and smaller shops within a 20 min car drive. We tried the pizza on the campsite, it was tasty and good value for money. We didn't use the toilets/showers on the campsite, so can't comment on this. During our stay only the deep pool was open - the water was crystal clear, but the pool is to deep to stand in. It makes it less crowded as people don't "linger" in it for too long, but may be an issue for those with kids or not able to swim. The area is absolutely amazing - a lot of beautiful sights, whether you're into nature or culture. Cote D'Azur and the Alps are also a short drive away, making it a great base for shorter and longer trips. Definitely recommend, we will be coming back!
Booked a stay in the apartment for six people, it was very clean and comfy. Pool was great in the heat, all staff were very friendly especially Andrea! He was great during check in and advised a lovely beach for us all to go too which kept my cousin and his friends occupied. Loved the stay too, will definitely be back!
We really had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful, cosy campsite. The staff are very friendly and always up for a laugh. There's a fun entertainment team. We'd love to come back again, there's still plenty to do here.

Nice campsite, friendly staff, good food in the restaurant. Just regular 'traffic jams' with arriving and departing guests — the staff could take more action to manage that better.
Automatically translated
Terraced campsite, beautifully landscaped, small and larger pitches, though fairly steep. We paid 57 euros all-in for three nights with a motorhome and dog. Very reasonable in May, a real hidden gem.
