Luxury Campsite on the Mediterranean

While Domaine du Colombier by Yelloh! Village—where we stayed—stands out as a top choice, the Mediterranean coast offers many premium sites. This guide provides inspiration for your Côte d'Azur family getaway, whether here or nearby.

Our Family Stay at This Premier Site

Upon arrival at the Fréjus site, we discovered jacuzzi-equipped rentals during our exploration—missed in planning, but no deterrent to our enjoyment! 😊

 

The wellness facilities at Yelloh! Village were exceptional, complemented by expansive pools. Beyond indulgence, activities abounded: our son Luc loved his first diving lesson, while daughter Lotte beamed from pony riding.

Saint-Tropez Highlights

I once mistook Saint-Tropez for an island—my husband led us there via a scenic boat from Saint-Raphaël. (Drive time from our site: about 1 hour.) The ferry delivers you harborside, prime for admiring superyachts.

 

Relax on the boulevard terrace with a Piscine cocktail (€10/glass), eyes on the mega-yachts. Don't miss the charming old town's winding streets.

 

Cannes: Yachts and Supercars

Cannes escalates the glamour—yachts dwarf Saint-Tropez's (one even had a helipad!). Just 45 minutes from Fréjus, the harbor dazzles.

 

Spot Lamborghinis along Boulevard de la Croisette, flanked by beaches, marinas, and iconic hotels. Stroll its 2km to the Palais des Festivals; kids love the celebrity handprints, sparking fun chats.

 

Port Grimaud

Crave boating? Head 50 minutes to Port Grimaud, a Venice-like gem. Rent a whisper boat to navigate canals—let kids steer on calm, windless days for safe fun.

 

Fréjus Essentials

Fréjus' boulevard suits evening beach strolls and trampolines for kids. Beaches are 4km from site—perfect day trips. Our Yelloh! Village holiday blended site luxuries with these gems.
