I have been camping in France for years now and have experienced plenty of issues for campsites- but not all in one site and definitely not at the incredibly high rates charged by Sandaya so I felt like I had to write this so it might help someone. It seems like a lot of sites have been taken over by this company and I hope I never have to write anything like this again.
The nearest sanitary blocks to the camping area we were in (at the bottom of the site) were completely closed, meaning much longer walks to get to another sanitary block. One of the two blocks in walking distance however had no hot water at all during the time we were there so you could only really use one of them.
So the only sanitary block we could use had a great number of the shower and sinks out of order. Every single one of the hooks in the shower cubicles had fallen off the walls by the time we left and due to the design of the shower there’s then nowhere to put anything (towels, clothes etc.) once you’re in there. There are no hooks in the toilet cubicles. I also don’t understand why you’d go to the trouble of installing soap dispensers if you’re not going to have any soap in them (especially with all the Covid “wash your hands” signs still up in there everywhere).
I think the sanitary blocks could so with signs reminding people to squeegee the shower cubicle after use- as a seasoned camper I knew to do this but it seemed not many others did.
The tent camping area we were in had no lighting whatsoever most nights, so it was pitch black, meaning that any evening walks to the sanitary block were unpleasant at best, dangerous at worst and the area felt unsafe. Adding that to the bad road surfaces in the camping areas makes it clear that the site is much more interested in those in the chalet accommodation, and as we were camping using our own tent (i.e. not in a chalet) we were not as important.
The restaurant/snack was closed and there was no entertainment on Sunday, there was no kids club for our child and she (aged 5) wanted me to add she would have liked the nightly mini disco to have had more than just one song (the same one every night).
In a more general sense, the pool has a strange sort of layout and was definitely not big enough. We were there at the beginning of June so was generally very quiet but when more people came on one of the weekends (due to it being a national bank holiday) it was packed so I dread to think what its like in July/August.
The wifi prices are also extortionate- in 2022 I wouldn’t expect my phone internet charges to be cheaper than the wifi ones. There’s also not many leaflets for the area at reception and make sure you like frogs, there’s a massive frog pond (the noise!!) and they hop all over the site at night.

Wij stonden op prachtige kampeerplek aan de Verdon, aan het eind vd camping. Kon alleen voor een hele week, minder dagen niet mogelijk. \'s Avonds aardedonker, echt zaklamp nodig om de weg te vinden. Sanitair gebouw 3 is onder de maat. Ziet er hip uit maar toiletvloeren kletsnat na regenbui, piepkleine douches lopen verkeerd af dus altijd natte vloer. Geen cabine met wastafel, wasbakje in natte douche. Voor afwas grote bakken, wel met beweegbare kraan. Vrolijke animatie en luidruchtig ook. Gelukkig niet hoorbaar op onze plek. Geen last van de weg, uitgezonderd racemotoren. Veel sportfaciliteiten. Ook veel huisjes en hippe tenten met eigen sanitair.
Castellane goed bereikbaar te voet of fiets via klein weggetje vanaf de camping.

Nous avons réservé un chalet 3 pieces pour ce weekend depuis des semaines !
merci à la bande de voleurs que vous êtes d\'avoir reloué notre chalet QUE NOUS AVONS PAYES car nous ne pouvions simplement pas prendre la route avec notre amie qui souffrait d\'une angine hier et que nous perdions une nuit mais nous comptions bien venir pour la deuxième jusquau dimanche comme nous l\'avions payé ! Croyez-moi que si un remboursement n\'est pas effectué une plainte sera déposée à la répression des fraudes car en aucun cas nous n\'avons annulé et c\'est une honte d\'avoir reloué un chalet que nous avions réservé ! avis aux voyageurs, si vous réservez un chalet et payez plusieurs nuits surtout attendez vous à cohabitez puisque votre chalet aura probablement été reloué a dau3tres personnes en meme temps sans prevenir !!! UN SCANDALE et tout ça sans nous rembourser ni decaler notre week end, juste parce que nous avions prevu de prendre la route le samedi matin au lieu du vendredi soir POUR QUI VOUS PRENEZ VOUS !

Nous avons réservé un mobil home pour 1 semaine en août et malheureusement notre fils s est gravement blessé sur la route de nos vacances et à dû être hospitalisé. Nous avons téléphoné au service client puisque que nous avions pris l assurance flexible. La personne au téléphone nous a demandé d annuler notre location sur le site afin de relouer le mobil home mais nous a dit que nous ne pouvions pas être remboursé puisqu il fallait prévenir 15 jours avant et nous a raccroché au nez. Aucune compassion. Nous avons invoquer le cas de force majeur et demandé au moins un avoir mais aucun geste n a été consenti. Vous vous croyez tranquille avec cette assurance et en réservant dans un grand groupe mais ce n est pas le cas.

Mehr Schein als sein. Als Paar ohne Kleinkinder ist der Platz zu teuer. Leider wurden die sanitären Anlagen nur 3xtäglich gereinigt. Bei der Menschenmenge zu wenig! Außerdem wurde nie gründlich geputzt!!!! Furchtbar!!!

Grote camping met volop vertier.
Alleen wel erg veel huuraccommodaties.
Zwembad vernieuwd, maar voor ons te onpraktisch.
Zwemmen in de rivier (mag eigenlijk niet) is veel leuker en avontuurlijker.

Petite piscine qui ferme tôt, pas de possibilité de nager, toboggans pour les enfants ouverts de 13h à 17h. Snack même pas digne d\'une station service allemande. Sanitaires mal conçus qui rejettent des eaux usées sur 15m dans les passages et emplacements. Emplacements tente bruyant, petit, sans ombre, inchangeable malgré deux tentatives. 75 % d\'Hollandais en communautés fermées. 5 jours sans un bonjour, ni un échange appart à l\'accueil et au magasin.
Aucun réseau et wifi payant.
Usine à touristes, c\'est à fuir...
