Camping Resort La Baume La Palmeraie

Spent several holidays here, lovely relaxed place in June, pools get very busy in July/August. Large camp with lots to do if you so wish. Special mention to the gym instructor Steve for his wonderful knowledge and professionalism throughout our stay. His friendly nature and excellent sense of humour enhanced my holiday experience. He is a credit to the holiday camp.

Just back from a week in La Baume (eurocamp) and had a great time overall. Some complaints but mainly we enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend to those thinking of trying it. As first time campers we weren’t sure if we would enjoy it, and travelling with two small kids was no mean feat but it was great. Loads of different pool areas, one particularly great for smaller kids as there was a good shallow section and then one which had a great mini water park for under 7s. Loads of slides and facilities available, kids and husband didn’t stop! Some of the toilet facilities around the pools need updating and more regular servicing however there were plenty close to everything so that’s at least something. There are snack bars and a main restaurant available on site; the food isn’t great, the pizza and chips are probably the only options I would recommend, salad was fine but don’t expect anything fancy! They are great for grabbing a cold drink and an ice cream but If you have a car with you or can get an Uber to the local supermarkets then I’d probably advise to do that for most of your trip. There is a supermarket on site which is handy and has a good range of products including a little bakery which you can grab some fresh pastries from first thing. It is a little on the expensive side though if you were planning on doing big shops. We tried the restaurant one evening but the food wasn’t great, we complained however since the place is ran by students it was a lost cause. The staff were mainly students, most of who had bad attitudes. There were a couple of friendly faces but the rest clearly don’t enjoy their jobs! It’s very off putting in all honesty but you get used to it and realise it’s a them problem! When we arrived it was quite late and as it was our first time there we really didn’t have a clue where to go or what to do. When we went into main reception we were given an info pack and keys and it was like ok bye then.. we had to drag all our stuff to the site in the dark; there is absolutely no help on offer 😅 thank goodness we bumped into some other guests who showed us the way. We were able to get to Fréjus town a couple of times and head to the beach there. We used one of the restaurants beach club facilities which we had to book but was a nice change from the pools (Kazaar). There were loads of restaurants along the town/marina, tip - unless you want to queue outside any of the good restaurants then head slightly earlier than 8pm. We visited ‘La Moule Joyeuse’ and had mussels and steak, our kids had already eaten but they wouldn’t let us order without ordering for them.. the food was good but service not so. Not sure they had tolerance for non French customers! The site also had a circus and a bouncy castle park open over the time we were there. Absolutely great for the kids to burn off energy before bed! And there are several play parks / football pitch / skate parks etc ready to use. My husband and son hired scooters
