Capfun La Rumba or Au Paradis des Campeurs: which campsite to choose on the French Riviera?

Two 4-star campsites on the French Riviera, two entirely different holidays. Capfun La Rumba, in Saint-Aygulf (Fréjus), is a lively family campsite: heated water park with slides, kids’ and teens’ clubs, summer shows, about 2 km from the beaches. Au Paradis des Campeurs, in Les Issambres, is a human-scale 4-star campsite: calm, leafy, open all year, dog-friendly, a 2-minute walk from La Gaillarde beach. The right choice depends on the kind of holiday you’re after.
