Familytrip has scoured the whole of France and particularly the Var to find you some great family deals. Thanks to us you won't make any mistakes when booking your campsite for your next holiday with your children!
The Var a favourite department at Familytrip
The Var doesn't have enough luster compared to its sister department, the Alpes Maritimes. They are both located on the Côte d'Azur, but the Var is only the 14th French department (in 2013 Source: EFH, Insee, Dgcis) compared with its neighbour, the Alpes-Maritimes, which is in first place. Frankly, this gap is unjustified in our view, as the department is overflowing with wonders. You'll be familiar with the beaches and the seaside (Pampelonne beach in Saint-Tropez or the calanque de Maubois in Saint Raphaël), but the inland areas of the Var, right up to the entrance to the Verdon gorges, are less well known. There's the Sainte Baume regional nature park, as well as some of France's most beautiful villages: Seillans, Cotignac and Bargème.
We're not in the Alps yet, but you'll be able to go hiking in the hinterland. You'll have more space than at the seaside, and you'll find watering holes to cool off as it can get very hot in summer. The Lac de Sainte Croix in the far north of the department is fed by the river Verdon and has a large developed beach but also smaller, wilder beaches.
So to choose the best location for your holiday spot, we recommend a campsite set back from the seaside. You can be not too far from the beaches but not go there every day as there is so much to discover. Roquebune sur Argens is a good spot. The nearest beaches are Les Issambres and Saint Aygulf. But you can also enjoy water sports on Lac Perrin and hiking in the Var hinterland. At Le puget sur Argens the difference is glaring, as this town borders Fréjus, which is a much more expensive resort...
The types of campsites selected in the Familytrip offer
We have selected campsites ranging from 2 to 5 stars all over the Var department from Fréjus to the borders of the department in Provence. The idea is that every family can find the perfect offer at the family campsite of their choice. That's why the range is so wide, but the selection is rigorous, to offer good value for money. At a 5-star campsite, you're likely to find a large water park with slides in every direction, a pentagliss, a spa, a restaurant, a kids' club and entertainment. But you'll also find a majority of 3-star campsites with an outdoor swimming pool (in var, it doesn't have to be heated unless you come at the height of the season), family entertainment, wifi, a play area and still be able to enjoy the beaches of the Mediterranean. If you're an aficionado of the pleasures of the water, you can opt for a small campsite and take part in water sports activities nearby. There are plenty of them in the Var!
At night we choose rather quiet campsites, they may have party venues but most are well isolated. Or they may be located on a large estate which means we can offer a quieter corner than being in the heart of the party. Most Familytrip families have young children and it's important for us to have preferential pitches that are quieter so they can fall asleep easily when the night comes or the afternoon siesta.
The reviews are also there to guide you in your choice and also us in extending our offer or not. In fact, if a campsite has a rating that falls below 7 and has a majority of representative reviews, we exclude it from one season to the next.

With regard to accommodation, we retain mobile homes of course. but if you're fed up with the endless mobile home, we also offer wooden chalets, caravans, converted tents (much cheaper to rent as the sanitary facilities are shared), cottages also more comfortable with more space than a mobile home and features such as a private Jacuzzi or a large terrace.
On-site activities may include daytime or evening entertainment, sports tournaments, aperitif games, shows from the kids' club or otherwise.... We also offer partners near selected family campsites with preferential rates for holidaymakers who have booked their week's holiday through us.
