Hello, the blue Mediterranean and Var’s fine-sand beaches, wild forest and the Golden Isles. That’ll soon be your introduction to Var when you arrive at Camping Saint Pons, a shaded dog-friendly site in Le Lavandou. Within 15 minutes’ walk of the town’s boulevard and sand strip, this park has plenty of shade from 100-year-old trees and a friendly vibe. ‘Forget’ your vehicle if you’d like, because Camping Saint Pons is a short walk from the coastal path (an invitation to swim or contemplate the splendid landscapes). Naturally, the authentic fishing town runs activities like sailing, diving, climbing, water skiing, parasailing and boat rental, as well as a sailing school. Set sail for the Golden Isles (Port-Cros, Ile du Levant and Porquerolles) from the port, 20 minutes’ walk away. Saint-Tropez is an hour’s drive away too, but closer by are sports facilities, miniature golf, a cycling path onto other splendid beaches or Toulon and a rambling path. That’s on top of the town’s shops, cafés and restaurants, of course. Le Lavandou is part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region to the south of the Varoise. It’s known as ‘the city of dolphins’, as pods are often spotted from its 12 beaches (which each have differently-sized and differently-coloured sand grains). Away from the Med, the town is also at the foot of the Massif des Maures, where there’s Mediterranean vegetation and protected environments. Le Lavandou has a market, shops, cafés and restaurants, and Bormes-les-Mimosas (five minutes’ drive) has another market. First, you’ll have to tear yourself away from the facilities around the wooded and flowery site. Over the two hectares, there’s a boulodrome (for boules), a kids’ play area, ping pong tables, washing machines and dryers.

Local attractions

Cycles, please? Set out over the Chem. du Train des Pignes (25 minutes’ walk), which follows an old railway line along the coast. Bormes-les-Mimosas (half an hour walk) is a flowery, medieval village with a very peaceful setting indeed. Perhaps you’d like to acquaint yourself with Hyères (25 minutes’ drive) and its 11th-century fortress and early modernist house Villa Noailles (half an hour). Toulon (40 minutes) has one of the largest harbours in Europe, and Collobrières’ (40 minutes) claim to fame is its candied chestnuts. Views too, please? Calanque de Port-Miou (an hour and 20 minutes) is a scenic hiking path, and alternative journeys are the local wine route.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Le parc ombragé

Disliked: À 21h voire un peu avant il n'y a pas de lumière dans les douches. Les campeurs sont obligés de prendre le téléphone pour en avoir. Pour les lavabos,il y a des néons au dessus qui servent seulement de déco puisque lorsque l'on appuie ça ne fonctionne pas. Il n'y a qu'une seule poubelle dans le sanitaire. Pas de lumière non plus au niveau des éviers pour faire la vaisselle. Et les robinets des éviers sont avec un bouton poussoir,comme partout dans le camping. Mais ce qui n'est pas du tout pratique. Quant à l'eau chaude pour la vaisselle,il faut la chercher! Apparament l'homme d'entretien était en vacances. En pleine saison 🤔 cherchez l'erreur. Dernière chose. Pas de conteneurs de tri ( ni verre,ni recyclage), seulement des conteneurs normaux qui sont de l'autre côté de la route,dans l'autre partie du camping. Pas d'animation et pas de recommandation de la part de l'accueil. Accueil qui est juste présence physique et très basique.Nous avons connu plus chaleureux et accueillant.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: The site was well situated, 15 minutes walk from the beach and town center.
Plenty and facilities i.e. showers, toilets, washing up sinks etc. The playground area looked great for children.

Disliked: It was indicated that the shower lights would go off at 10pm, none of the showers even had lights in them so there were pretty dark.

We were eaten alive by mosquitoes!
