There’s a bunch of my friends off to Camping du Pylone, Antibes in the South of France, I’m not jealous at all, not at all, well maybe a bit, perhaps a lot – oh OK – I’M JEALOUS! The weather down in The South of France at the moment is just superb, half way though September and they are nudging the thermometer at round 30C, but unlike the super baking hot summer, it does cool off a little at night so you can get a good nights sleep in your motorhome.
Here’s a couple of reviews from Camping du Pylone:
“What a fantastic campsite! Great people, very friendly with a real community spirit. Clean and well kept. Great pool area. Great bar area with the choice of eating in the restaurant which was excellent or there is a varied takeaway food menu which was very good and great value. There is a pizza hut which serves freshly cooked pizza, the best we had ever tasted! Reasonably priced supermarket and not to forget their own little bakery shop which was just superb! Great location for the bus and train which is cheap and takes you up and down the french riviera. Mary looked after us when we were there and was extremely helpful. We loved it!”
and
“We have stayed at Camp du Pylone five times over the past three years. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves every time and are quite unable to resist returning.
It is a very friendly, family run site suitable for all ages. Our son (aged 5) absolutely loves it. The main pool is large and well cared for. There is also a very shallow baby pool. You do have to pay to use the pool in July & August, but it is free the rest of the time. Men, please note that French regulations mean that swimming shorts are not allowed in public pools!
Eurocamp this is not, but unlike most Eurocamp sites it is ideally placed to explore the South of France with the bus stop, train station and beach five minutes walk from the camp entrance. You will not need a car to get about which means everyone can take advantage of the cheap but delicious wine! This time we used the bus a lot and it is great as you can travel almost anywhere for 1 Euro!
Jo and Christian, who run the bar and restaurant, are really, really lovely, friendly people. The food in the restaurant is great and very reasonably priced. Also, the pizzas are delicious!! The nightly entertainment is excellent and there is something for everyone. Friday bingo is a particular favourite with large prizes (one of which we won this time!).
Unfortunately, we are unable to return to Camp du Pylone this year, but I do not doubt that we will be back again in 2012!!”
So how does that sound? Not too shabby I hope – this is a pretty full on campsite, so some of you may prefer to go somewhere a bit quieter, and if you do, there are tons about. Call 0800 612 8719 to book your motor home hire now.
