\n

Two 4-star campsites by the same Mediterranean, two very different holidays. Camping de la Plage<\/strong>, in Grimaud, is a large 18-hectare<\/strong> beachfront site in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez: 463 pitches, a supermarket, beach restaurants, sports grounds, open in season. Au Paradis des Campeurs<\/strong>, in Les Issambres, is a human-scale 4-star campsite<\/strong> on the French Riviera: calm, leafy, open all year, with lodges featuring a private spa or pool, dog-friendly, a 2-minute walk<\/strong> from La Gaillarde beach. The right choice depends on the kind of holiday you’re after.<\/p>\n
