FAQS

How far is the campsite from the beach?

There is no beach access or sea view from the campsite. We are located 1.2 km from the sea, a few minutes by car. Please note that we do not recommend going on foot as the road is dangerous. A free shuttle bus is available in July and August (afternoons only).

Where are the cycle paths located?

We have 96 km of cycle paths from Toulon to St Tropez. At the reception we can provide you with a map of the cycle paths in the municipality. We have two cycle tracks, both of which start 800m from the campsite (we just need that little bit to connect them… one day maybe…)

Is the pool heated?

The swimming pool (not covered) is heated from May. It can be 24 degrees in the morning, at the very beginning or very end of the season, but it quickly rises in temperature during the day (if the night has not been too cool). It is open from April to September with variable opening hours depending on the season. Lifeguards are present in July and August only. We remind you that your children are always your responsibility, at all times and in all seasons.

Do men have to wear swimming trunks at the pool?

No it is not compulsory, shorts and Bermuda shorts are tolerated but we ask that they are different from those taken to the beach to ensure the hygiene of our water park.

Choice of pitch

We will do our best to satisfy your requests (shade, calm, types of trees, …). The “chosen pitch” option, charged at 35€, guarantees you your preferred pitch on arrival! However, we are lucky enough to have many regulars and therefore sometimes your stay dates overlap and we do not always have the possibility to offer you the desired pitch because it is already taken. Our policy is simple, to avoid any conflict it’s the first one who has booked who has priority … Do not hesitate to propose us 3 numbers of pitch to satisfy your wishes at best 😉

Linens

Sheets and towels are never provided in our rentals as we know you prefer your own to feel at home. The beds are 140cm or 160cm depending on the model you choose. The single beds are 80 cm. If you want to lighten the car, you can rent sheets and towels for your stay. It is important to book your linen and towel kits with the reception to guarantee availability. Pillows and blankets are provided in the accommodation, but you can bring your own if you wish to have all your usual home comforts. A laundry is available on site if you wish to wash and dry them during your stay.

DVD TV

All our accommodation (except for mobile homes without sanitary facilities) is equipped with television, DVD player and some even have a USB port to connect your keys.

Vehicle, second vehicle and trailer parking

Each stay includes a pitch for one and only one vehicle on the pitch. It is possible to bring a second car. This will be charged at a rate of 5 euros per day and can be parked in the car park at the entrance. It is also possible to bring a trailer. If the trailer is less than 1m80 it is free of charge and if it is more than 1m80 it will be charged as an additional vehicle.

Cleaning

You are responsible for cleaning at the end of your stay. An additional charge of up to €150 may be deducted from your deposit if the mobile home is left uncleaned on your departure. You can take the cleaning option, for which you will be charged €120. With this option, you must nevertheless : – Wash your dishes – Empty your bins – Do not leave anything in the fridge or freezer – Clean the toilets

Animals

Pets are allowed on the campsite under certain conditions, at a cost of 6 euros per night. We have adapted sanitary facilities for them so that they can be rinsed after the beach. We ask you to keep them on a leash and to take them outside the campsite to relieve themselves. It is forbidden to leave an animal alone on a pitch, tied up or locked in a car or in an accommodation. You must present their vaccination certificate on arrival. Only category 1 and 2 dogs are forbidden. For rentals only, only animals weighing less than 10 kg are accepted.

How far is the campsite from the shops and town centre?

We are located 5 km from the centre of Hyères and 5 km from the centre of La Londe. Each offers several supermarket chains such as Intermarché, Casino, Carrefour market and Biocoop. Otherwise, our best advice is to go to one of the markets of Provence (every morning from 6am to 1pm) and enjoy the flavours of our region to please your taste buds!

How to get there by public transport?

To come by train you can choose either Hyères station (7 km) or Toulon station (25 km, a little further away, but much better served!). Once you arrive at the station, we advise you to take a taxi at the exit or at the following telephone number. Tel: 04 94 00 60 00. To come by bus, information and timetable on 0 825 000 650 but we do not recommend it as the stops are 1km from the campsite and the services are not very frequent. Overall, if you don’t have your own vehicle for your stay, don’t rely on public transport to and from our place. To come by plane, the airport is 6.5 km away, once you arrive, take a taxi or rent a car on site. To find us: Leave the airport, at the roundabout turn left, drive along the sea for 5 km, at the crossroads follow the direction of “La Londe” for 1 km, then turn left towards the campsite on the small road opposite the Castel.
