  • Peaceful site 10 minutes' walk from Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Côte Vermeille
  • Heated open-air pool, tennis court and restaurant-bar with theme meals
Perhaps you’re on the indecisive side, or maybe you thrive on variety when on hols – either way, if you’ve got a lengthy wishlist, here’s a place that should prove suitable all round. Pyrénées-Orientales site Camping les Casteillets is one of those sites that can certainly claim to have it all – it’s a peaceful rural spot surrounded by mountain and river views, and yet it’s an easy 10-minute stroll to get to shops, restaurants and the like in Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts. Those mountain views (correctly) hint that this may well be a fine place for a country hike, but if you tire of such scenery it will only take around half an hour to drive over to the coast for beach days at Argelès-Plage or strolls around arty Collioure. Such drives (and lengthier ones for arrivals/farewells) are fairly straightforward, as the site’s a couple of kilometres from Le Boulou, where several motorways intersect. And if you’d like to roam without driving, there’s a bus stop in town where you can continue your adventures without having to factor in such things as parking. The excellent location hasn’t encouraged the folk here to skimp on facilities, though – the site has a heated open-air pool, space for games of football, volleyball, tennis and pétanque, and a bar-restaurant that organises theme nights and takeaway meals. Come along in summer and they also run a small grocery store and bread service for easy eats, and all sorts of activities for all ages by day and night.

John F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: The people around us were friendly. None spoke English, but between us we managed to get round it. Comment would fit in with most of the people we've meet in France.

Disliked: Site is non suitable for tents! It says gravel and sand more like concrete. I am a experience camper so had hard pegs so managed to get tent to stay up for the one night needed. Gentleman on front desk, spoke little English and was not very interested in the facts. It was 5.30 and he was finishing at 6.we know as when back at 5.55 and he'd buggered off. Was unable to eat as couldnt find food outlet. But states there was a restaurant on site. Have cancelled our return journey stay at this site. Booked in at camping les Casteillets.

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: La animación

Disliked: Los sanitarios estaban sucios. Los de caballeros estaban cerrados y tuvimos que compartir los de mujeres para todo el camping. Había cacas de perro por el camping, y mal olor. Algunos campistas no respetaban las horas de silencio.

Renée W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: We waren blij dat we nog eten konden bestellen bij latere aankomst.... zwembad lekker voor verkoeling

Disliked: Bij aankomst was eigenaar onduidelijk. Dacht te begrijpen dat we op de parkeerplaats moesten overnachten maar een vriendelijke, Engelse dame die er woont legde uit dat we het park opmochten. Eigenaar of ander personeel niet aanwezig voor uitleg oid. Bar personeel kwam chagerijnig/wat arrogant over, wederom geen woord over de grens sprekend of iig proberend dus lastig te communiceren. Was enkel voor 1 overnachting, dat was prima, denk dat je er niet veel langer wil verblijven...

From the manager: Bonjour, nous proposons des activités enfants tous les jours le matin et l'après-midi sauf le samedi, jour d'arrivée et de départ. Vous êtes arrivée à 18.30 h le vendredi, il y avait une soirée pétanque et pool party adaptée aux familles et enfants de 21h30 à 23 h, vous êtes repartie le samedi, seul jour sans activité en raison des nombreux changements d'arrivées et de départs mais le city stade et l'aire de jeux étaient accessibles à tous. Nous espérons pouvoir vous accueillir pour un prochain séjour et vous faire profiter de nos nombreuses animations pour tous et gratuites. Cordialement. Valérie - gérante

Antonio S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: Tamaño de la parcela y la atención

Disliked: Parcela sin sombra, mucho mosquito, poca intimidad, piscina profunda y con mucha fuerza de corriente y se hace difícil el nadar, basuras muy mal distribuidas

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Tenemos la suerte de tener un camping relativamente sombreado pero en esta época del año con sequía, los árboles ya están despeinados, como los pocos mosquitos, No es nuestra responsabilidad, incluso si no hemos tenido ninguna queja de nuestros clientes, es parte de los inconvenientes de estar en la naturaleza. Es cierto que en la temporada alta hay mucha gente en la piscina, pero usted se quedó con nosotros solo 2 días y ciertamente no tuvo tiempo para disfrutar de la tranquilidad de la Río a pocos pasos del campo de fútbol. En cuanto a los contenedores de basura, se clasifican por basura doméstica, envases reciclables, cartones, vidrio y compost, son 5 bandejas de clasificación. Esperamos poder darle la bienvenida en buenas condiciones en una próxima ocasión. Cordialmente. Valerie - gerente

Local attractions

Prefer your swims in cooler, wilder water? Stroll straight out from the site onto the banks of Le Tech river for walks followed by dips in the water. Alternatively, walk for half an hour (or drive for five minutes) to Les Lacs de Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts for swims, madcap scrambles across floating inflatables, waterskiing and pedaloes (plus a tree-climbing park if you’d rather stay dry for a while). Yet more swims can be had half an hour’s drive away, at the stretch of coast known as the Côte Vermeille. You’ll probably aim for Argelès-Plage for access to the sands and sea, but it’s also worth planning to venture to Collioure to see its castle, Fort Saint-Elme and the harbour that inspired painters including Matisse and Picasso. Both of those artists (along with Chagall, Dufy and other greats) also liked hanging out in Céret (10 minutes’ drive) – as a result, the town now has an excellent contemporary art museum. If you’re more into food than fine art, the town’s still worth a visit for its Saturday market, especially during the area’s famed cherry-growing season.
