Camping de Fontpédrouse

Liked: As we traveled with little kids we loved that there was trampoline, swings, balancing ropes available.
Lovely access to the river (although danger signs on).
Very tidy facilities.
Lovely place to stay.

Disliked: I wouldn't say dislike - morle like a suggestion - the play area could have more things. It's a big area with just few bits.

Liked: Let's start with the location: this campsite is situated in a tree-covered valley beside a river and far enough away from the nearest street that you never hear cars. The flow of the river makes for the perfect ambient noise at night. And in the morning, you're awakened by birdsong.

Nature stuff: trails lead through the forest and up the mountain. Within reasonable walking distance, you come across two impressive waterfalls. In the summer, you could bath in a pool beneath one of them. A short car drive (or bicycle ride) from the camp, you can find (with the help of locals) thermal hot springs.

Budget considerations: our family of three stayed in a pitch tent, which only cost 13 euro/night. For families on a budget, this is ideal.

Fun for families: the campground also has some extra fun things for children. Outside, they have a tampoline and a badminton net. In the game room, they have an arcade machine with all sorts of old school Nintendo games, as well as rackets for badminton and paddle ball, mallets, balls, and hoops for croquet, and balls for petanque.

Amenities: the showers are hot and kept very clean. No wet floors. No weird smells.

Extras: the hosts provide any camping items you either don't have or might have forgotten. A couple we met, arrived without a tent and rented one for a night. We helped them set it up. It was in perfect condition.

Staff: Mika and Audrey are the couple who run the place, and they do everything to make your stay enjoyable. You see them hustling around the grounds all day, cleaning, helping, setting things up. One day, we left a bag on the playground swing. They picked it up and brought it to us.

Disliked: Zero complaints.
