I absolutely love this little family campsite located in Fayence, right in the heart of Provence! It is super quiet and well-equipped, with its pool, jacuzzi, and paddling pool.

Here, you are just 30-40 minutes from the beaches (Fréjus, Mandelieu…), and around you, there are lots of charming little villages to visit (Seillans, Callian), Lake Saint-Cassien for picnicking or pedal boating, and even the red calanques of Estérel if you want to feast your eyes on stunning views.

It’s the perfect place to unplug with your family, without straying too far from the sea!
