CAMPING LA BASTIDE

Le Camping The Bastide is the ideal destination for a family vacation. For what reasons ? First of all the swimming pool! Must-have or attractive? Good news for holidays with children. It is heated and very large (15 * 7m). It is surrounded by a slab beach of about 200 m 2, with deckchairs, armchairs and parasols. There is also a paddling pool for the enjoyment of the youngest. It opens from mid-May to mid-October, until 21:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in July and August (20:00 p.m. other days, and off season).

Another reason? Sports facilities punctuate your days of sightseeing with games and relaxation. Ping-pong table (loan of rackets and balls), turnball (loan of rackets, ball provided), slackline, pétanque court (possibility of loan of balls), basketball hoop (loan of ball) ... You will inevitably find the game that you like !

For rainy days or simply for a moment of rest, the relaxation room of the Camping The Bastide is equipped with a sofa and wicker armchairs. It is a very pleasant space for reading (several books available in several languages, for adults and for children) or for board games. For fans, a television set connected to Canal + Sports is at your disposal.

Finally, if you appreciate that we offer you entertainment during your holidays, you will be delighted by the themed evenings. But also the treasure hunts, the bowls and darts competitions, the Loto evenings, the meals with music… And then the local farmers' markets, and of course the welcome drink on Sunday noon!
