We came in May when the campsite reopened. Spacious pitch with trees. Don't be afraid of the hills. Very quiet campsite. We found a mobile home dirty and poorly maintained: Glass marks on the table Spider webs Dust under beds Inside cupboards dirty and worn Greasy kitchen fronts Dirty windows Broken TV screen The terrace is pleasant, but the ecru fabric seats are stained. The water in the jacuzzi is not perfect, and there's no weekly PH check when other campsites do it daily. Finally, the water heater was cut off all week! No explanation... As for the swimming pool, it was only accessible from Wednesday afternoon due to bad weather the previous week. The owner can't do anything about it, but we would have liked to have been warned before our arrival. In short, we were very disappointed and won't be coming back.

We had a nice time on the camp site Les Laurier Roses. We booked shortly before the desired dates. Fortunately there was availability, unfortunately not for the whole 2 desired weeks. That's the risk we took with deciding going to the Cote d'Azur quite last minute. We received pitch 11. An oddly shaped, but for us adequate pitch. There was a little steep climb to get there, but that did give a very nice view. I observed that many pitches have excellent views. Due to the steep climb, for those with trailers, do use the offer of Andre to have it brought to your pitch. The swimming pool was nice. Deep enough to be able to swim well. Large enough to actually swim. At the pool side are nice deck beds and parasols available. The pool rules are clear and very well. Leave shoes outside the pool gates and take a shower before jumping in. Unfortunately I have seen too many people avoiding showers, avoiding the water basin to walk thru to get in. And nobody cares. The toilet and shower area was very clean. The cleaning team did an amazing job every day. Just a pity that cleaning was done everywhere at the same time and the access was blocked with a broom. So at some point all is blocked and people step over the broom..... The showers were nice except for the temperatures. I haven't been able to have 1 nice good shower in 8 days. Always it goes from warm to cold, to cold, to slightly warmer, to cold. A pity. The water taps at the wash basins are the automatic type, but completely unsuitable for wash basin use. It turns of too quick and it does not work with a tooth brush. You need to wave your hand behind your toothbrush to get it started. The toilets are very clean. They do have toilet seats, which is awesome. It would be nice if there was some soap to wash hands after a toilet visit. There is 1 washing machine for the whole camp site. That same machine is also used for the cleaning team to clean their cleaning cloths. The machine runs fast, 28 mins. The reception has odd opening times. Something to consider upfront if you need to go there. The woman in there is very friendly and helpful. Andre is a great guy and he does all he can to make your stay pleasant. The bakery store next door has amazingly good bread. The supermarket has everything you'll need. The camp site is advertised on its website as without loud disco noises. Sorry, but that's so not true. In case there is a festival nearby, expect to hear the festival music very loud. On other days you can hear a disco somewhere nearby. But if you're near the pool, like us, that disco sound is overriden by the music at the bar. Sometimes up to 03:00. Longer then the festivals or disco. After like 21:30 for only two or three bar guests. The conversations at the bar can be heard too well too. The lights around the camp site are too bright, at least those triggered by a motion sensor. I have seen people blocking the light by putting parasols in it's path. So, despite that i like the camp site, the minuses weigh in so that I won't go there again.

Negative points: dirty!!dirty and more dirty! We rented the Altair 3 mobile home, as soon as we walked in it looked ok but as soon as we started to put our things away we realized that the toilet was stained with feces, the curtains were stained shamefully. The dish drawers ditto. Dust, crumbs and dirt everywhere. We used our own sheets our own towels because we did not trust them. Glasses probably never washed. We gave it a general cleaning but considering that normally one expects to find clean and no work when on vacation we can only give a negative review. We also had to tighten the screws on the outside table because the legs were in danger of falling off. Considering that the management demands an advance payment of 200 euros as a guarantee I must say that the value for money is very bad. Positive points: the campground bathrooms were clean. Good location especially since it is adjacent to a well-stocked Carrefour. Quiet and shady campground. Very friendly staff.
