I haven't been, so this is just 'hearsay' but we met a couple in Narbonne, who were staying there, and were very disappointed with it. They lived in France, and it was their first trip to the Mediterranean, so we had quite a long chat over a coffee, and they were asking advice about possible other ACSI or Camping Cheque sites in the area.

They said the hedges between pitches were too high, and they felt isolated, and that the lagoon at the point nearest the site was just a rubbish tip so they didn't feel it was safe for walking their dog.

As I say, we haven't been, and I haven't seen any other reviews but to be fair, we did meet another couple a couple of years ago, who were on their second visit to Les Mimosas!!

Probably not much  help!  Sorry!

Thank Val.....enough to it me off. Just keeping everything tightly crossed that we manage to get into Le Brasilia when the booking goes live on 12 November, but given 4 of the 6 weeks are currently fully booked from last years guests I am not holding out much hope really. Willing to delay the holiday by a week to get to go though....in the meantime I must try and find another family site somewhere down south for us just in case. GGRRRR I thought I had all but the overnights sorted. It was so easy just returning to the Vendee here yrs on the trot lol!

I called them this morning and hey don't have pitches allocated to them so just book for the Customer and in turn cannot book themselves until 12 November anyway. So it's just a case of waiting and hoping we actually manage to get through. Such a shame as we really like the look of the site and am struggling to find anything else down south as daft as it sounds. But unless I can read some reviews I wouldn't go really.

No I haven't actually, I suspected they would be more expensive. Do you think that would be the case?

Just called eurocamp independent and it is the case they do not get access to the pitches either until 12 November. I have a meeting that day too, so may have to be up at the crack of dawn to phone first thing lol!

We went to look round Les Mimosas a few years back when touring the area, but decided not to stay. There did not seem to be anything wrong with it but it did not appeal much either.

We stayed in August this year. I wouldn't go back. We were given a very small pitch which was really only suitable for a tent. There was no water nearby so had a 2 minute walk to the nearest water stand. The mosquito were the worse I have ever experienced and I was not the only one to suffer as the number of people bitten at the pool was probably 100%. I don't like Narbonne so I would said it was in the middle of nowhere. Positive point good pool area with slide. Free mini golf and tennis. Not for me I'm afraid.

Hi, we stayed there 2 years ago pitches quite small and agree felt isolated because of hedges. We didn't like it very much at all, we were going to stay 5 days but only managed 2 days. It was also very very windy, that was in May.
