Douce Quietude is situated within an ancient pine forest less than 5 kilometres from the beaches of St. Raphael. 10.5 hectares of land support 400 pitches. Mobile homes are available here and properties are equipped with amenities such as Internet, standalone power and washing facilities.

The caravan park of Camping Esterel is found only moments from the coast and 30 minutes from Cannes. Camping luxury here can be enjoyed thanks to such features as 495 pitches, an on-site supermarket, play areas for children, an outdoor pool and countless physical activities.

One unforgettable luxury camping destination is Camping Les Prairies de la Mer. Mobile homes and bungalow tents are available although one should enquire if luxury tents are offered. Numerous cottages are located close to the shore and activities such as tennis, golf and a massage parlour are added benefits.

Beaches and Nature in Côte d'Azur

There are a number of beaches that are positioned close to the majority of holiday camping sites in the French Riviera. Stretches of sand such as Saint Tropez and Agay Beach two of the most popular. Heading inland, visitors can enjoy the scenic Alps foothills. The climate here is cooler than at the shore and is a perfect way escape the warmer days of the year.

Attractions in Côte d'Azur

It is recommended to visit the seaside village of Cannes during any stay. Natural attractions during a camping holiday include the Hyeres Islands and obtaining spectacular views from the top of the Saint-Jean-Cap-Martin Peninsula. Urban centres not to miss include Monte Carlo and the street markets of Nice. Thankfully, most of these attractions are found close to many holiday camping sites.

Food, Drink and Culture

Luxury holiday camping sites will offer a selection of local foods and wines. The French Riviera is known for its eclectic mix of French and Mediterranean cuisine. Dishes of fresh fish are common here while Iberian ham is another favourite of visitors. Locally grown wines can round out any good meal. Like in most parts of France, the people are very warm and friendly. A good deal will speak at least a moderate level of English as well.
