Camping in the PACA region: family activities on the Var coast
Looking for a change of scenery on the Côte d'Azur? Near your Var campsite, discover the natural treasures and heavenly beaches of southern France.
Some legendary spots are well worth the detour. We're thinking in particular of the famous seaside resort of Saint-Tropez, made mythical by Brigitte Bardot. Once a simple fishing village, "Saint-Trop'" has become one of France's most famous towns. Here, you can admire the entrance to the Gulf perched high on the Maures massif.
In summer, many tourists come here to relax on the beach, browse the luxury boutiques or take a selfie in front of the famous Saint-Tropez gendarmerie. In its magnificent marina, dream big in front of the impressive private yachts. Who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of Beyoncé or David Beckham on the steps of their floating home. Are you a thrill-seeker? Ride the waves on a jet-ski, pick up speed and tame the Mediterranean on a water ski or kitesurf. Take to the water from your stand-up paddle and explore the seabed of the Port-Cros National Park on a scuba diving experience.
Or spend the day with the whole family in one of the 4 leisure parks in the vicinity of your 4-star campsite. The 10,000 m2 of ponds at Fréjus' Aqualand park promise laughter and fun.
Camping Var: a picture-postcard setting near Hyères and the Golden Isles.
The indented coastline of the Corniche de l'Estérel is home to a large number of beaches and small coves where you can relax in the sun. Looking for a little more nature? The Gorges du Verdon offer an exceptional view of picturesque villages and lavender fields. Admire it from every angle on panoramic hikes or canoeing sessions in the heart of the cliffs. Continue your adventure at Lac de Sainte-Croix, the largest of the Verdon lakes.
Do you like beautiful beaches? The islands of Hyères, Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant will make you fall even more under the spell of the Var. You'll swim between cliffs and pine forests, in turquoise waters fringed by fine white sand. Close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, while the sound of the waves plays ASMR. On your return to civilization, take a stroll around Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël among the houses with their red ochre tiles.
