Camping Les Pêcheurs or Au Paradis des Campeurs: which campsite to choose on the French Riviera?
Two 4-star campsites in the same town, two very different holidays. The Village Camping Les Pêcheurs, in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, is a family campsite on the banks of the Argens river, at the foot of the Rocher: a heated pool, a spa and wellness area, kids’ clubs — about ten kilometres from the sea. Au Paradis des Campeurs, in Les Issambres, is a 4-star campsite right by the sea, open all year, a 2-minute walk from La Gaillarde beach, with sea-view lodges that have a private spa or pool. The right choice depends on what you’re after: the beach on foot, or the pool and entertainment.

Two campsites, two philosophies
Au Paradis des Campeurs
A 4-star, 7-hectare campsite on a human scale, set right by the sea. Sea-view lodges with a private spa or pool, mobile homes, pods and genuine pitches for independent campers — La Gaillarde beach a 2-minute walk away — clear, calm water and peaceful swimming — and, come evening, the sunset over the Estérel.
- Open all year round
- La Gaillarde beach, 2-minute walk
- Clef Verte (Green Key) label since 2020
- Dog-friendly beach 100 m away + forest
Village Camping Les Pêcheurs
A 4-star family campsite on the banks of the Argens, at the foot of the Rocher de Roquebrune. A heated pool, a paddling pool, an adults-only spa and wellness area, kids’ and teens’ clubs and summer evening shows: the river, the Aréna lake and a watersports base just steps away, about ten kilometres from the sea.
- Heated pool + paddling pool
- Adults-only spa and wellness area (sauna, jacuzzi)
- Kids’ & teens’ clubs (July-August)
- Open April to October
Where are the two campsites located?
Both campsites are in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, but in two very different settings: Au Paradis des Campeurs in Les Issambres, right by the sea on the French Riviera; the Village Camping Les Pêcheurs inland, at the foot of the Rocher de Roquebrune, on the banks of the Argens. Allow about twenty minutes’ drive between the two (≈ 14 km). The first puts your feet in the Mediterranean, the second by the river and the lake.
How to choose between them?
Looking for the sea or a pool?
For a large heated pool, a spa and wellness area and kids’ clubs, choose the Village Camping Les Pêcheurs. To sleep and swim in the sea, in clear, calm water with the beach a 2-minute walk away, choose Au Paradis des Campeurs.
Travelling with a dog?
Au Paradis des Campeurs lives up to its nickname, the “dogs’ paradise”: forest right next door and a dog-friendly beach 100 m away. Les Pêcheurs also welcomes dogs (€4/night), but the sea is about ten kilometres away, with no dog beach within walking distance.
Travelling off-season?
Au Paradis des Campeurs is open all year; the Village Camping Les Pêcheurs is seasonal and closes from October to April. For a winter stay or outside the school holidays, choose Au Paradis des Campeurs.
Want entertainment and watersports?
Les Pêcheurs offers kids’ and teens’ clubs, summer evening shows, the river, the Aréna lake and a watersports base just steps away. Au Paradis des Campeurs focuses on calm, the sea and independence, with no entertainment or clubs.
