Líbí se Quiet, comfortable pool area with shade available. Very few non French holiday makers stayed here in August, which we liked. Some of the staff were very friendly & helpful, although only 1 lady spoke any English (again, this is fine - it’s good to practice our French!). The on-site restaurant was about the same price-wise as restaurants in town but was inconsistent in quality. Laundrette on-site, handy (small) bar. We had a good sized pitch with our own water supply (although it was a high pressure hose). Always enough toilets and showers available, we never had to wait. Argelès old town was nice, quite pretty. The beach area (huge) is extremely busy and a bit kiss-me-quick; Racou, next to the pretty port & marina, is far more laid back and was more our style. There was always a nice breeze at the beach but none elsewhere. The setting of the (large) town, at the foot of the Pyrenees, is pretty.

Nelíbí se Our pitch unfortunately had zero shade, which in the recent high temperatures (35+) was very uncomfortable. We could hear the motorway too. The cycle into the old town or the Port/Racou was easy going downhill but a killer on the return journey in high temperatures; we’ve never been as hot and sweat soaked in our lives! You need to be fit to cycle back, it’s a good 20 minutes uphill on dedicated cycle paths that run adjacent to busy roads. A car or electric bike is essential as there’s tons of parking in Racou (the nicest beach). It’s too far to walk to the beach - an hour in high temperatures up a big hill.

Líbí se Condom is a hidden gem, very pretty & well preserved with some lovely cafes and restaurants and a smashing municipal pool/lido 5 minutes walk from the campsite (not heated and no sun beds - take towels and a picnic blanket or camping chairs). There’s a Lidl and a huge bakery a 2 minute drive away and a couple of greengrocers, butchers and bakeries in the town centre. We ate at the gorgeous restaurant that backs onto the campsite and overlooks the most picturesque lock on the river; they have a kitchen garden and chatty chickens you can hear across the campsite. I can highly recommend the food; we ate possibly the best meal in France that we’ve had for years, 3 courses for €30 and €20 for wine. Absolute bargain. The campsite is fantastic; a lovely, friendly couple run it and are extremely helpful as well as speaking fluent English. The pitches are private and a good size, very green and shady across the site. Water taps are a 10 second walk from every pitch. The showers, loos and separate sinks are immaculate, as is the laundry room and washing up room. It’s a small site but tidy and well taken care of and only a 15 minute meander along a shady riverside path into the small town centre. We stayed 2 nights as a stopover on the way to the south coast, and we wished we’d stayed another night.
