Great holiday

Firstly I would agree with some of the negative points raised in previous reviews. We visited in 2016 and stayed in a mobile home so did not suffer the issues some of the reviewers saw but we did walk around the site and talk to people in caravans/ Motorhome. As far as we were concerned the accommodation was great; the site staff were very helpful and the location is perfect. We visited the beach and nearby towns on public transport and had no problems. We did visit in late June/ early July so the site was far from full. Drove to beaches and had no problems parking. The beaches were excellent. Went on walks/ visits organised by the site and they were great with English spoken. Felt a bit embarrassed as guy taking these seemed to give us a much more detailed explanation of things than he did to the French speaking people. There was some entertainment organised in the evenings and we did attend the usual French campsite sort of show that if it was in UK we would think was terrrible but in France just seems fine.

Long way to go to be this disappointed

Just returned and were unimpressed. Staff were polite but appeared to have their hands tied by management. On arrival we were given a pitch but told we could have any in that area. The pitch wasn’t big enough for caravan and awning. A larger second pitch couldn’t be accessed even using a mover. A pitch was found where we could put van and awning, it was overgrown, full of dust and weeds (as was all of them), nice when the wind blew. We tied back branches to prevent them rubbing the van. The car went on a nearby pitch. We too would be interested to know when the site was last inspected. Initially we didn’t know of pitches to the rear of the site, we were given a photocopied map which didn’t include them. We later became aware and they are nicer, larger and easier to access and there were 3 vans present. We were denied them due to flood risk, so why were any vans parked there? There were also sports amenities and a childrens play area. Showers were clean, gave 8 secs of water per buttonpress and we had to ‘kiss’ the wall to get under it. Temperatures varied Filling a 40-litre container took ages. Dishwashing gave lukewarm water. Waste disposal is a toilet bowl, try lifting and emptying a full waste container. The camp wasn’t peaceful. The adjacent road was busy, a lane running alongside was noisy early and late. We paid extra for a family pitch but were told the pitches were the same price same size. I contacted the Club about this and will be writing, we weren’t the only ones who thought they’d get a larger pitch. On arrival we paid 20 euro deposit for a cardkey. When we left the staff had no cash access to return our deposit. Club website states there’s mini golf, day entertainment all season, fishing and play area for kids. No entertainment. No golf and no fishing was found. The play area was in the area not on the map. Plus side. Pool area is very nice, includes an adult only area with whirlpools. Could also do with parasols. Might get overcrowded high season Very welcoming restaurant beautifully located and supplied good food at decent prices. Toilets and showers were clean, no soap or toilet paper. Friendly site shop, but very small with little choice. Intermarche is a mile away. Free canoes, it’s worth a paddle the river is teaming with wildlife including turtles. Cannes (30 miles) take the cliffside/sea route from Frejus absolutely stunning. St Maxime (8 miles) easiest area to park for beaches (some free), Port Grimaud and St Tropez (15miles) both beautiful. Take a trip up into the mountains too. Pretty disappointed. We expected better than a cramped, dust bowl for our stay. Compounding this was the exclusion from the rear area. It’s not the first time we’ve been aggrieved by the description of the Clubs European sites and question if we will bother in future. At home they are absolutely fine but I think they need to be more honest with sites abroad or whoever visits and appraises these places needs talking too.

Needs some investment

We are the owners of the twin axle referred to below by 'millielou'. We had driven from mid France to get here on our first venture abroad with the caravan. Arriving at 5.00pm we also were greeted with the golf buggy trip to show us our pitch; this was an utter joke as even if we had a motor mover fitted, there was no way a twin axle was going to fit! These pitches are pretty disgusting, very claustrophobic, and need a good tidy up. Whilst discussing the predicament with the operative who had shown us the pitch, the resident Brits took an interest, and that is when we heard about the much larger pitches. Sabine, the site manager then became involved, saying that the larger pitches were 'out of use' for historic reasons relating to the 2007 flood (check out the devastation!). Much discussion followed including Sabine phoning the owner, and my wife becoming very distressed. Extremely poor customer interaction. We eventually managed to get one of the larger pitches! We will be writing to the CMC to provide our feedback. On a positive note, this site is positioned ideally for the Cote D'azur. Get the train from Les Arcs (plenty of parking) to visit Nice, Monaco etc. St Tropez 45mins by road. Gorge de Verdun fantastic! This site could be brought back to an excellent standard by some investment.

Snug pitches

There is a deposit of 20 euro for cardkey entry for car. We also paid the tourist tax direct. We had a buggy ride to a pitch, which was VERY snug. Thank goodness for motor movers we definitely would not have got this in without it. There were four pitches in each "bay" and cars were parked to one side of the bay together. Pitches were flat, but we felt very cramped and the site was only half full. We did have enough room to put our caravan canopy up but the pitch had no shade and it was extremely hot whilst we were there. Some of the pitches were 3pin 10 amp electricity connection, however ours was euro plug. I found it difficult to fill the aquaroll as the water taps had a high concrete base, so it was easier to top up with a 5 litre water bottle, which we carry to fill the toilet flush. Restaurant was open all day, which was a bonus. We had two takeaway pizzas for 22 euros, which were very tasty. The bar/restaurant staff were lovely and very helpful. The pool area was amazing, although no parasols for shade. Jacuzzi's, sauna, etc and an adult only pool which was stunning. No swim shorts and shoes left just inside the pool area (usual for continental sites). Shower facilities were ok - the only problem was the temperature was set and could not be changed. Communal entrance. Bread, etc can be bought in the campsite shop - very friendly and no need to pre-order. Recycling facilities just outside the entrance. The area was beautiful and the rock reminded me of Sedona, in USA. Probably wouldn't go back, as it lacked something - do not know what.

Disappointed

I stayed here from 9th June to 30th June and can only reiterate most of what millielou said plus I found the water pressure quite low and the showers very poor in Sanitation 2. Sanitation 1 up by the chalets had good pressure but not always hot. Using the water supply along the Avenue made it very difficult to fill a water barrel, I had to resort to using a tap in the washing area. I was told to empty my waste in the Chemical Loo disposal point. Can you imagine lifting an Aquawaste onto one of those toilet type units. I’m amazed I didn’t permanently damage my back or even have a hernia.It appeared that some people were emptying their waste water under hedges which is not very hygienic. I would be interested to know when the C & MH Club last inspected this site, how did they stay there, in a caravan or chalet,and whereabouts on the site. I too didn’t know about the good pitches until I was leaving. If you have already booked there I suggest you ask for the ‘good pitches’ otherwise give it a wide berth. The only plus side of things was the pool area and the staff although I saw very little ground maintenance and the vegetation needed cutting back on the pitches. Les Pecheurs has had a good reputation in the past which they had probably earned, but so easy to lose it. Would I go back, no, not until the site improved with regard to the pitches, shower blocks, water points and waste disposal points.

Not what it seems

The toilets and showers were always clean although no soap or toilet paper provided. The pitches left a lot to be desired, the staff were helpful but were following orders from the owners not to let people onto the good pitches. The site plan we were given did not even show the best pitches, it was only as we were walking down a lane outside of the site that we saw them. Other people were told different stories as to why they could not be used, a Dutch couple we spoke to, who have been going there for five weeks for the last ten years, were not allowed to use them, the council/pompiiers did not want them used because of a flood seven years ago. The pitches we were allowed to use were rubbish, tight access, impossible without a mover, just dirt and weeds, uncut hedges and lots of sticky seeds on the ground. The light in the chemical toilet disposal point was not working, and although told about it nothing was done to fix it. One couple arrived when we were there with a twin axle van without a mover, having booked months ago and informed them by e mail of the size of his van, no way could they get onto their assigned pitch. After much argument the office staff contacted the owner who allowed them onto the good pitches. On the day we left the site plan had changed to show the other pitches, we were not best pleased, don't go! Many of the people we spoke to were not going to go back.

Response from Club Site Inspector:

I have visited Les Pêcheurs a number of times over recent years and thought it might be helpful to add a few comments to reflect my findings. The site has a fine setting, and is easily accessed from the motorway, and is located a short walk from the picturesque mediaeval village of Roquebrune-sur-Argens, facing the imposing Rocher de Roquebrune. Les Pêcheurs extends over 3 acres of countryside, along the River Argens. This is certainly not a manicured site but has a much more natural, rural flavour, with many pretty flowering shrubs and trees. All pitches offer welcome shade, although they vary in size somewhat. The pool area is excellent and comprises a large principal pool and a well equipped spa facility. The 3 wash blocks and other buildings have all been built in a Provencal style, and were all well maintained during my most recent visit. Other amenities include a restaurant with a large shaded terrace. Canoe hire is available on the river, and a range of activities are also available on the lake across the road from the site (including paddle board, mountain biking etc). I hope that this helps and that in 2022 members will enjoy this campsite.

Excellent

Quite simply the best campsite on the south coast of France, and I have stayed in many over the years. The pitch was clean, flat, well sheltered from the summer heat and was near the very well cleaned toilet block. The Patron ( Patrice??) was excellent, and the staff were as good as could be reasonably expected from a high season Team, some were absolutely outstanding. My wife and I will definitely be booking again for this site, it had all the facilities we could hope for, family pool, adult only areas, quite time after 10-00 (ish), grown up treatment of the clients.  I cannot recommend it more highly than I have, the food standard I cannot speak for as after the first night not receiving the service I thought I should have had, We voted with our feet and ate elsewhere or at our Caravan, or with our Family who were staying at a gite some 10K away, or at the one or two excellent local restaurants within walking distance of the site. Well recommended Caravan Club!!

Lovely site

Spent week here recently. Extremely friendly team from reception to lifeguard. Huge pitch but tight access. Very shaded but in height of season very welcome. Toilets were basic but clean don't forget your loo roll. Pool area was outstanding and the child free spa area was amazing. Snack bar prices were reasonable as was bar and restaurant. The lake across the road was an excellent alternative to the beach. The small town of  Rocquebrune is quaint and has bars and restaurants that are in walking distance. Excellent base for visiting St Tropez, St Maxime, Cannes, Nice and Monaco. Beach at Frejus approx 10 Km away but don't expect to get there quickly in a car as traffic can be slow and you are often in a traffic jam. Frejus port at night is worth a visit. Will definitely return probably for longer period as there are loads of things to see and do in the area.
