Two French Riviera campsites, two opposite holidays. Esterel Caravaning<\/strong>, in Agay (Saint-Rapha\u00ebl), is a large 5-star<\/strong> resort tucked into the hills of the Esterel massif \u2014 lively and spectacular: water park, kids’ clubs, evening shows, with the beach 3 km away. Au Paradis des Campeurs<\/strong>, in Les Issambres, is a friendly 4-star campsite<\/strong>: calm, leafy, open all year, dog-friendly, a 2-minute walk<\/strong> from La Gaillarde beach. The right choice depends on the holiday you’re after.<\/p>\n
