  • Shaded family-friendly site a 15-minute drive from Aresquiers beach
  • A 15-minute drive from Sète and half an hour from Montpellier
  • Pools, bar, restaurant, bouncy castle, kids’ club and cycle hire
Run by a family for families, Camping Altea in Hérault has activities and amenities to suit just about everyone in your travel crew – from a bouncy castle and kids’ club for the sprogs to water polo games in the swimming pool and a pétanque court for the adults. Speaking of taking a dip, there’s also a separate paddling area for the small sorts along with a multisports ground to help mums and dads get mini members of the family tired out enough for an early night. Got a babysitter with you? Leave napping tiddlers in their capable hands and linger over a meal at the restaurant and a drink on the open-air terrace. Meals could also be grilled up on the shared barbecues dotted around the park – when you (inevitably) realise that a key ingredient hasn’t made it along on the trip, run to the site’s shop or browse the medieval centre of Vic-la-Gardiole, less than a five-minute drive away, for supplies. If you’re feeling lethargic the morning after a hefty meal, go on a health kick at the gym or take a brisk walk in the surrounds. The park’s sandwiched between Sète and Montpellier (15 and 30 minutes’ drive, respectively) for toddles around top-notch towns and is also five minutes or so from wanders next to the flamingos at the Reservoir Vic La Guardiole. Swims in the Med at Aresquiers beach are 15 minutes away.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Wegen sehr nasser Platzverhältnisse wurde Alternative angeboten. So konnten wir mit unserem Wohnwagen auf geteertem Platz für Wohnmobile stehen. Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort, deshalb für uns alle okay.

From the manager: Es freut uns, dass Ihnen diese Lösung gefallen hat. Wir hatten nämlich gerade einen mediterranen Vorfall und wollten Sie lieber ins Trockene bringen :-) Wir freuen uns auf Sie Claire

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Facilities and staff

Disliked: Insects and being bitten continuously, it spoilt our trip as we haven’t been able to sleep for days afterwards

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello and thank you for all the other good marks (10/10) except for the location because of the insects, but it was difficult to do anything about it for us (....), especially as apparently it lasted your whole trip and you only slept one night with us in a tent! The overall score of 2/10 seems a bit harsh to me in spite of everything :-) Bonne continuation Claire

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Very warm welcome, lots to do for children who were happily playing until very late. Live entertainment. Small craft market in the evening. Facilities a little strange, limited to using the shower twice daily with an electronic wrist band.

Disliked: I was on plot 1 right next to the entrance so was dazzled by lights until around 2200. Perhaps a better screen on that corner please? Live music until 2330 was great for families but not for a transit traveller

From the manager: Hello and thank you for this great review, which accurately reflects our family-friendly campsite and its summer festivities, especially on the night of August 15th :-) Indeed, you made a stopover on this very busy holiday evening until 11:30 pm! Thanks again for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you again. Claire

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello and thank you for leaving us your opinion. We're delighted you enjoyed our heated pool so much! As far as the pitch is concerned, for those of you who don't have a large installation, we preferred a smaller pitch surrounded by hedges and plants so as to be in the shade, as our region is very sunny. We are ideally situated between Sète and Montpellier, but this region is very touristic and there is a lot of road traffic: we have started to build a noise barrier on part of the campsite and will do the rest next winter. We look forward to seeing you again, Claire

Local attractions

Aresquiers (15 minutes’ drive) is a swish spot for a bit of beach time – it has a spacious free parking area and draws in kitesurfers and windsurfers with its breezy conditions. Drop by the forest enroute for walks amid the trees; for more treks head to the hiking trails up the Massif de la Gardiole (25 minutes). Closer by, around a kilometre from the site, reach the Via Rhona’s cycling paths running towards Palavas-les-Flots (50 minutes’ ride). This resort town is circled by lots of lakes and is split in two by the Lez river, so it’s a scenic spot for a day out. Poke around the 18th-century fort, get up high on the fairground rides of Luna Park or just swim in the serene waters of the beach. Other things to do in this action-packed area include touring the towering Cathédrale de Maguelone (25 minutes’ drive), snacking at the shellfish shacks along the Étang de Thau lagoon (35 minutes) and dawdling around the scenic Gellon valley village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (50 minutes).
