Direct location at the entrance to the very beautiful and extensive beach. Very friendly staff in all areas. Large and varied pool area. Very good bakery and small supermarket, which is well stocked and not too expensive.
Minusuri
Cleanliness and general condition of most sanitary facilities. At 07.00 in the morning, two of the three wash houses within walking distance were closed for cleaning work. Occasionally only lukewarm water at some washbasins. Site poorly lit in the evening and at night, not lit at all in some ponds. 14 days before the end of the season, the green areas were probably no longer maintained. You have to tolerate the fact that on many evenings the animation also roars in distant areas of the extensive grounds.
Not really a campsite anymore
We have been to the site for many years with our children and later as a couple. This time, for the first time, we didn't get the pitch we had booked on arrival and were standing in the blazing sun from midday. After more than 10 years of vacationing in other regions, the site is now 90% occupied by... mobile homes. Two of the three sanitary areas do not meet the standards of a 5-star site in the slightest. The functionality of the technology there (hot water, taps, shower fittings) is partially not guaranteed.

Access to the beach and good facilities
Minusuri
Long distances and only one access to the beach
More mobile home estate than campsite
We were at the opening of the season with the caravan on a pitch at the gateway to the beach. At the beginning of April there was no shade here on spacious sandy pitches with central water columns. You can shop in the well-stocked store at the entrance, the sanitary building is a little further away.... The facilities are up to date and were spotlessly clean. We liked it very much. However, I'm afraid that in high season there are no trees to provide shade and the paths are very long.

Minusuri
Family pool sometimes very crowded, too little space around it No soap in the toilets missing "path" (e.g. planks) to the beach
Nice campsite for families with teenagers
We were at the campsite for two weeks at the end of June/beginning of July. The second week was much busier. The pool in particular was very busy then. The site is well maintained, the pitches are parceled out and very nice. We had a pitch facing the beach, which is also highly recommended as this area... is relatively quiet in the evening. (The entertainment program takes place at the front of the pool area) The campsite offers a varied entertainment program, not only for children but also for teenagers. However, most of the entertainment staff speak little English and very little or no German. From pool parties, foam parties, cooking courses to action by the sea (banana boat rides, etc.), there is a lot on offer here! There is also a good and varied sports entertainment program. The pizza to pick up is a little more expensive than in Germany but very tasty. You can get everything you need in the supermarket and greengrocer's store on site. It's certainly a bit more expensive than in large supermarkets, but I found the prices really reasonable. I've seen other supermarkets on campsites that are really different. We did do some shopping in the big supermarkets from time to time, but you have to drive a few kilometers by car. (At least 8km on a road with frequent heavy traffic.) The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities was perfectly fine. There was disinfectant in the toilets. A small point of criticism was that there were no soap dispensers at the washbasins, so washing your hands there was only possible without soap if you didn't bring your own. The beach was very beautiful, clean, the water clear and wonderfully refreshing. However, the path through the hot sand in the sun was a bit difficult at times, even if it wasn't long. Laying out wooden boards/planks, as was done on the public beach, would certainly be the missing icing on the cake of a really beautiful beach. We would recommend the campsite without reservation, but will not visit it a second time, which is not due to the campsite, but rather to the region. As we are not holidaymakers who only stay at the campsite for two weeks and would like to go on a little excursion at least once in a while, we were not entirely satisfied with the region, as we only liked the surroundings to a limited extent. Although there are nice cycle/walking paths along the Canal du Midi, which we used for jogging, and the nearest town (Portiragnes approx. 6km away) is also quite nice, the excursion options in the immediate vicinity (if, like us, you're not into theme parks) are rather rare. A day trip to Carcassonne is definitely worthwhile, even if you have to drive about 100km. Conclusion: A great campsite in an area that you don't necessarily have to visit a second time. (But of course this is also a matter of taste :-)

large pitches new large pool for adults close to the guarded beach Great price / performance ratio!
beautifully laid out campsite right by the sea
We had a spacious pitch with plenty of shade and sun, well maintained and oleander in bloom. Very nice to relax on the pitch during the day. As we arrived unexpectedly one day earlier at around 9pm, it was completely uncomplicated to get onto the pitch. The new pool for adults is fantastic. The partition... in the pool for swimmers is also a nice touch. The bakery at the entrance is super tasty. The supermarket and fruit and vegetable store at the entrance has everything you need. Not overpriced. The sanitary facilities were cleaned several times (at least 3 times). We had a pitch at Berech Tamaris. There you are a bit away from the entertainment, which usually goes on until around 11:30 pm. There is a lot to see within a radius of approx. 70 km. If you just want to relax, you shouldn't go to such large campsites! We can't rate the restaurant, except for one takeaway pizza, which was very tasty.

Dark sandy beach A little off the beaten track you are dependent on a car
Were very satisfied
We went to this campsite as a couple. Everything is on site and once a week there is a big market right at the entrance. Unfortunately the beach sand is a bit dark but good for collecting shells. There is always good entertainment. We liked the campsite very much and would go there again... I can only recommend it to anyone, even for families

Vacation
Yes, hello, we were on our summer vacation this year (22.08.-07.09.14) at the Les Sablons campsite in the south of France. The journey there was accompanied by a lot of traffic jams because it was still the high season. Registration at the campsite was straightforward and went relatively quickly because... we had reserved and paid in advance. We were therefore able to move into our pitch and set up very quickly. The pitches are parceled out with bushes and thus provide a certain degree of privacy. We needed a plug with a hole (earthing) for the power supply. This is probably not the case everywhere on this site. Some already have a Euro socket. The water supply was provided by water dispenser columns along the roadside. The main roads are all asphalted and so the amount of dust is very low. What I did notice, however, is the fact that this site is mostly covered in mobile homes or rental cabins of all kinds. It didn't bother us, but that's probably the trend. The catering on the site was absolutely ok. Of course, it costs a bit more there, but if you forget something, it's absolutely sufficient. The internet provision is also impressive, but there is a charge. However, it is easy to set up. The beach is generally very clean, but it is not rolled with tractors like in Italy. That's why the diggers' holes are not all completely closed again. There are no hawkers on the beach itself, which was very pleasant. Access to the sea was via a one meter wide strip of mussel shells, which were quite small and didn't hurt your feet. Once you were over it, you were back on sand. The water in the Mediterranean was super clean, but also very refreshing on some days. You could also see the occasional fish. You should get up quite early to collect shells, then you will still find some. There are a lot of collectors out and about. The campsite's swimming pool is heated. It is clean everywhere. I also found that the pool attendants were not overly strict. When there are so many people in the pool, they have to keep a closer eye on things. I won't go into the sanitary facilities here. There are already enough pictures and opinions on this portal. For us, they were absolutely functional for a campsite. There was also entertainment every evening. We watched it from time to time. What we saw was really well done. The children's program usually ended around 10 pm. It was always very well attended. The entertainment usually ended at 00.00. We didn't find it annoying or loud. What I can't recommend were the pizzas, but that's just our opinion. There are also weekly markets and other stores outside the gate. Intermarche and other discount stores are within a reasonable distance of the campsite. There are endless excursion destinations. Such as Seté or Adge or the Canal de Midi, to name but a few. Time can be entertaining here. Conclusion of our vacation: France anytime again. We had absolutely no negative experiences with the people. We would go to Les Sablons again. We found this campsite to be family-friendly and cosmopolitan.

Final cleaning, restaurant, supermarket
Very nice vacation with small compromises
Small, well-kept campsite, very good entertainment, heated pools, clean beach (without toilets!), tasty bakery, overpriced supermarket (better to go shopping outside), English and German-speaking staff, service on site was impeccable. We had booked a mobile home for 6 people, our children are 15 and... 12 years old. The MHs are close together and the view was okay. There are nicer pitches there. The covered terrace was great. I can only confirm the comment about the final cleaning, this urgently needs to be improved. The bed linen should also be included in the price. If you leave the MH swept clean, the fridge defrosted, the garbage taken away, the beds stripped and the dishes washed, you still have to pay 80 euros for the final cleaning or clean it yourself. Absolutely WRONG and out of all proportion - the bottom line is that we left the MH cleaner than when we took it over. When paying in advance by credit card, we initially had difficulties in the transfer portal because the website had been updated. But even after several emails (German and French) we got no response - this service was unfortunately poor. Our children were particularly happy about the sports field, but unfortunately without light in the evening, only the boules court is illuminated. Gladly again, but not every year....

Les Sablons 2014
Location of the campsite: Portiragnes-Plage Directly on the Mediterranean Sea Languedoc-Roussilion South of France Animation The animation is sensational, there is something for all ages, water gymnastics in the morning, Zumba from 11.oo o'clock, stretching in the afternoon, abdominal-leg-po, and other... sporting activities, children's club from morning to evening, discotheque until late at night for the youth, many shows with live music bands from 21.30 for the older ones, children's entertainment shows from 20.00 to 21.30, beach parties, sports Olympics throughout the day, water games and organized excursions in the surrounding area or on the Canal Du Midi and in the new climbing park and much more. Sooner or later, everyone gets caught here, even without the entertainers running around and harassing guests. That doesn't happen here at all. Reception Always friendly and helpful, German, English, French and Dutch are spoken. Booking is uncomplicated, as is check-in and check-out. That's how it works. The site The paths are asphalted or covered with fine gravel (on side paths), so it is always clean and almost dust-free, which is not a matter of course in France. Many trees and bushes divide the entire site. Many pitches are around 100 - 130 square meters in size. The power supply is secured with 6 amps. The site is constantly being modernized and a new balneo is currently being built for 2015. We don't know of any site that develops more from year to year, there is something new every year. The sanitary facilities are cleaned 4 times a day, of course there were occasional traces of sand in the showers, but we consider this to be normal because it is unavoidable due to the proximity to the beach. There was nothing to complain about at any time. The facilities are always clean in winter 2011/2012 2 sanitary facilities were renewed and are kept very modern there are outside shower cubicles and inside shower cubicles. Scullery also clean even at peak times and also sufficiently available. Activities There is a clean swimming pool with several pools and 2 slides. Long swimming shorts are not allowed. A large number of sun loungers are available. The animation offers entertainment throughout the day. Evening shows with music. Archery, soccer, tennis, boules, basketball, volleyball courts are available on the complex. Bicycle rental in front of the campsite. The beach is beautiful and is cleaned daily. Freshly caught fish can be bought from the fishermen on the beach early in the morning. Surroundings The towns of Serignan, Valras, Bezier, Cap DÁdge are about 10-30 km away. There are daily markets and music events in the village of Portiragnes Plage. All are within easy walking distance. Shopping On the campsite itself there are small stores, Spar market, fruit shop, kiosk and a bakery that offers delicious bread, baguettes, croissants, flutes and much more almost all day long. Shopping facilities are available in Serignan (Hyper U and Lidl) in Portiragnes Inter Marche' General On the campsite there are snacks in the snack bar and a restaurant. The snack bar is a little slow due to the crowds. There are a few other snack bars directly in the village (100 m from the entrance). Waiting times are normal here and prices are slightly lower. Security: The security works effectively and unobtrusively, you always feel safe on the site, the staff are present around the clock, very friendly and attentive. Conclusion We have been going to Les Sablons every year since 2010. For us, it's the ultimate campsite in France! The campsite has now rightly achieved 5 stars. It's fun to see how the campsite continues to develop. We are already looking forward to next year.

Top place on France's Mediterranean coast
We stayed at this campsite for eight nights during the 2014 Whitsun vacation. The location is ideal. Even from the furthest parts of the campsite, it's less than 400 m to the beach. The sanitary facilities are generally clean and well maintained. The frequency of cleaning when the site is full should... be increased. One sanitary block has toilet seats, all the others are without them, but at least there are proper toilet bowls ;) The pitches are generally large, caravans, awnings and cars fit easily on a standard pitch. Some pitches have unfavorable tree cover - it would be difficult to stand properly here. Catering must be split into two parts. Point 1: Restaurant and bar. The waiting time when the restaurant is half full is too long. We were given a table, ten minutes later we were asked to sit at another table. We cannot report on the quality of the food, we did not sit at the second table. With time and peace and quiet perhaps okay, with hungry children rather a test of patience. The take-away pizza is definitely not an Italian delight, but the burgers were good enough to eat. Three stars nevertheless, because you can get all the everyday groceries you need right outside the square. Naturally more expensive, but not extremely overpriced. It's perfectly fine and well stocked for a little shopping in between and for forgotten items. The animation can certainly be heard more clearly in the center of the square, and the more distant places also hear some of it. During our visit, it was usually quiet around 11 pm, perhaps due to the first World Cup matches. However, it was hardly disturbing inside the caravan unless you are particularly sensitive to noise. Staff and guests' vehicles moved very slowly around the site. You didn't have to worry about your children. This was supported by raised roads in dangerous places. Everything is available in terms of leisure activities. The pool with children's pool, slides for toddlers, slides for adults and a swimming pool for adults with pleasant water temperatures (heated if necessary) rounds off the pool landscape. Shorts are not permitted here. Swimming caps do not have to be worn. The pool staff pay very close attention to the safety of guests - whether in the pool itself or on the slides. The range of sports courses is very good, registration on arrival is sufficient. Playgrounds are spread all over the campsite. Friendliness was the top priority at all times. French, German and English are spoken at reception. The staff here are always calm - which can sometimes lead to waiting times. However, every guest gets the time they need and all the answers they need without being disturbed. Dogs are allowed, but dog owners cannot book premium pitches and have to rely on standard pitches. The price per night, currently €5, is also quite high. There is a dog meadow and closed waste bins for poop bags. However, there are still quite a few landmines on the dog meadow itself and, due to the usual vegetation, some old thorns on the ground, which quickly and painfully dig into the paws. Our dog didn't want to do his business here, but many other dogs took advantage of the "offer". Overall, the site is suitable for all age groups. The very high proportion of mobile homes (approx. 70 - 80%) takes some getting used to. The site is guarded by security in the evenings and at night. We heard nothing about thefts during the whole time. There are many places to visit in the surrounding area (30 - 60 minutes' drive) and sporting activities are possible. It is also easy to take a bike ride along the Canal du Midi with only a slight incline. The beach itself is not purely sandy, but interspersed with shells and stones - which the children really enjoyed collecting. The water itself is fine sand after the first few meters. Not a trace of sea urchins. All in all, a place to be recommended with a little room for improvement in some areas. We will certainly visit this place again - the amount of things to experience is beyond a one-week vacation.

The sanitary facilities are a bit outdated. I've never been so badly stung.
Nice reasonably priced place in the low season
We were there for almost 2 weeks during the Whitsun vacation. Great pool area. The pool area is very nice. Yes, it's true, the lifeguards take their job very seriously (I was told not to throw my son into the water, but that was all and they just do their job and have rules that they strictly adhere... to). In the evening it was quite loud until around 11pm due to the stage shows, but after that it was completely quiet. As we were a bit out of the way, we didn't notice too much. The campsite can only partly be described as such, as around 2 thirds of the site consists of mobile homes. Over Whitsun the site was packed and it is advisable to book in advance. In the last 2 days we were totally stung and even Autan had zero success. The sanitary facilities are a bit outdated and you can't look behind every corner, but basically everything was clean (often there was no toilet paper, only standing toilets). The pitches are very spacious and some are beautifully planted. With an ADAC card we only paid €16/night (2 adults and pitch) and our 13-year-old son was even completely free of charge. We have also been to Serignan-Plage in the past. The two sites are about equally good.

Beautiful beach, pool
Minusuri
Pool (slides) not usable for children under 130 cm
NEVER again
Location is nice, close to the beach, clean water, beautiful pool area...BUT the pool area is dominated by a crowd of over-motivated, stuffy lifeguards (arrogant Gallic cocks) who rigorously punish the slightest deviation from the rules. No jumping (not even throwing up in the water) and, above all,... no sliding for children under 130 cm (adults must accompany). My daughter (9 years old), who has been swimming perfectly for 3 years, was unfortunately not allowed to slide alone with her 129 cm (will be measured). And hand in hand with her parents is really too uncool for her, so she decided not to slide at all. Reason for the ban: safety concerns (in the 100 cm!!!! deep pool). However, she is allowed to go into the pool on her own and drown there... In the event of non-compliance, the children are called to report and are banned from swimming or sliding for 1 hour (in the first stage). I am aware that there are rules, but we have never experienced such a strict interpretation before. The reaction of the pool visitors confirms my comment. Access to the beach is closed from 11 p.m., fires on the beach are prohibited, as is the playground from 10 p.m. (everything is controlled by security monkeys). Incidentally, visitors cost €6 per person - a joke. That's why we've been to Serignan-Plage twice (campfires after 11pm - that's how it can be), where everything is more relaxed.

Huge site, very well maintained, everything clean, large pitches with free choice of pitches, unbelievable number of mobile homes being built Beautiful pool, bar with rest stop atmosphere, to get used to Portiragnes is still completely dead in April, but the area is great for cycling along the Canal du Midi. There's a pond at the back of the site, so we had a mosquito problem, which led to our spontaneous departure. Too bad ....

We spent three nights at this campsite in August 2013. We received a friendly welcome at reception and, unusually, we had to pay for our stay in advance. There is a bakery, supermarket and small stores right at the entrance to the campsite. The pitches are parceled out and large enough. The ground was... good for tent pegs, unfortunately also for ants. The sanitary facilities are modern, the shower cubicles are equipped with washbasins and electricity. There is a nice pool area with water slides and a large playground next to it. The campsite borders directly on a beautiful, wide sandy beach. The campsite is characterized by rental accommodation, the pitches for tents are close to the busy playground and the entertainment area. As a result, we had a high noise level from 09.00 in the morning until midnight. In contrast to many other campsites, barbecues with charcoal are permitted on this site. You can also rent fridges here or buy blocks of ice for € 2.20. There are a few restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity, but the town itself is some distance away. Overall, a somewhat expensive but comfortable campsite with lots of entertainment and activities.

Overall very nice complex, restaurant can be saved, there are better places outside. The background noise of the evening events is considerable. If you want more peace and quiet, you should stay a little further away from the pool area, but it was always quiet around midnight and good mosquito protection... was absolutely essential. Otherwise, good shopping opportunities on site at normal prices. If you are creative, you can let off steam in the workshop. They have produced some really great things. If you are looking for a vacation by the sea with entertainment, this is the place for you.

It was still a little too cold in May. But you can ride a motorcycle very well in the hinterland. The place is really ok. The staff too. The price was also ok, but the Whitsun period is cheaper than the summer. Shortcoming: Despite the 5 stars and the German-speaking staff, they are apparently unable... or unwilling to translate notices correctly into German. The English notices are definitely easier to read. But if you know a little French and also English, you'll get by very well. But that was all the criticism.

Actually a beautiful campsite. Unfortunately we had booked our mobile home through Eurocamp. We were 3 families who had all booked their own mobile homes through this provider. When we arrived at the campsite and moved into our mobile home, we discovered that no final cleaning had been done. And that... for all three camping homes. Defects: > Sand on the corner bench > Dirty floor > Sticky light switches > Mosquito corpses on the ceiling > The garden furniture was filthy We had complained to Eurocamp several times but unfortunately nothing was done about it. In the end, we picked up the cleaning kit ourselves and cleaned it ourselves. What did we learn from this? Never again Eurocamp!!!!

This place is just great! All the staff (from the entertainers to the cleaners, and of course everyone else too) do their jobs very conscientiously and, in my opinion, with pleasure. The management has made a really good selection of staff (at last there are some entertainers who don't come across as... macho, but quite normal and likeable). The campsite is well maintained and clean. Only the sanitary facilities are a bit old, but very clean! However, they are apparently to be renovated. The location is also great, right on the beach. The beach is very clean. We felt very comfortable here. A much better price/performance ratio than in Croatia, where we stayed the last 2 years. We will definitely be back. You don't even have to leave the campsite if you don't want to. Almost everything is available. You also feel safe here thanks to the very attentive security and there are very attentive lifeguards at the pool.
