August 2016  Unit 6 berth tent.

This was our first visit to this site but our 2nd visit to this area and indeed Angeles Sur Mer.

We found this site on the internet actually on Google Maps, looking at the area in satellite view. The plus for this site was that is was closer to the beach than the first site we had visited in this area. In fact it was almost right next door.

The site boarder is in fact the beach. Can’t get much closer. There is a short walk from the site through the small dunes to the wide sandy beach. The site have added a blue carpet like flooring on the path through the dunes which makes the walk very easy and even pushchair/wheelchair friendly.

The site is as far as we can tell independently owned but is very well kept and is used by all the major European Camping companies, keycamp, eurocamp etc… It’s not a small site with over 1000 pitches and we expected it to be very crowded. It wasn’t even though the site was full it didn’t feel too full.

Date of Visit: October 2016

We arrived at the site at around 14:30 and were greeted by the warden. We had booked the holiday online and had paid a deposit only so the remainder was to be paid on arrival. We had been given a voucher by Glossop Caravans when we bought our van which entitled us to a free night.

After sorting that out we were offered our choice of pitch. October half term is not very busy so we had a wide choice. We opted for Hardstanding near the Bathrooms.

Welcome

We are Paul & Halys, That’s us below. We are from Manchester and are embarking on our first year of caravaning. We are experienced tent campers but have decided it’s about time to upgrade.

Paul & Halys

We love France and will go at the drop of a hat or beret 😉

We bought our first caravan in October last year (2016) and spent our first week away in Cornwall at the end of the month.
We’ve had a bit of a break over Christmas as we already had a trip to Paris planned for our Anniversary at New Year and we have had plenty to do here around the house.

We joined the Camping & Caravan Club and took advantage of the cheaper insurance and our first holiday was at their Veryan Site in Cornwall.
We will add a review of that site in the Review Section of this site.

We head off for our first C&CC rally next weekend (Valentines weekend)
The C&CC is split into many D.A’s or District Associations. These are basically local smaller divisions of the main C&CC. When you join you are assigned a local D.A. ours is Lancashire & Cheshire but you are free to attend any meet/rally organised by any D.A. in the country. So for our first Forray we are off with Lancs & Chesh to Helsby where we will camp for the first time sans electric. Wish Us Luck!
