Hi, long term lurker, first time poster...

Does anyone know a campsite in south of France that is reasonable walking distance from a village/town with bars and restaurants. Not too fussed about the area as long as it has a good pool (have a 10yr old girl) and decent sized pitches.

Really looking forward to christening our new Karsten tent in the heat of the south of France in August

Thanks,

Tricia

Hi Tricia.
              We have been to the Southern Ardeche this last few years.

For our fortnight campings at "Domaine de Gil" it is just a 1 mile walk to the spa town of "Vals Les Bains" and from there just a 1€ return bus ride to the main town of Aubenas.

Check out the reviews on here for "Domaine de Gil" superb 4 Star campsite. But without all the bells and whistles which suits us just fine.

There are two other sites in St. Remy de Provence. Monplaisir appears to be permanently 'fully booked' for all of the summer. We had a look around and while it is well manicured and looks very nice I don't think there was much difference between it and Pegamas where we stayed. Pegamas has the added advantage that it is only about 500 metres from the town. Close enough to pop in for an ice cream!

Try Camping Du Massereau.

It's a short walk to the lovely walled town of Sommieres. It's also one of the best sites we've been to in France.

Morning,

Just how short is the walk into Sommieres from Massereau? We could be interested for next year.

Hi all
Thanks so much for all your replies we are thinking of Massereau as it has a slide in the pool which the daughter will love. We stayed at a Castel site last year and it was great

The distance to town from campsite is 2.5km and flat except for a slope near the old railway station.

You can see the route and distances there and back on this link.

Another vote for Masserau, lovely site and Sommieres is nice too. Beaches are about half an hours drive too - we liked La Grande Motte.

Excellent. It's a great site, I'm sure you'll love it.

Don't forget your bikes, or actually they've got them for hire. The ride from the site through the surrounding areas is well worth The effort.

Haven't stayed at Masserau but do like Sommiere. Lovely old walled town. Couple of photos to whet your appetite.
