Camping Manjastre

I have finally caught up with the blogs, and I am now writing about our current location, Cote D'Azur.    Summer has arrived down here, the weather has been getting hotter, and the temperature in the swimming pool has now risen to 22 degrees.

I must admit it was very unpleasant yesterday, as the thunderstorms caused high humidity, but they also cleared the air, and today we are experiencing the usual dry hot weather.

At the moment I am sitting in the shade of the bar area, looking out over the swimming pool and tree clad hills.

Camping Manjastre is a superb camp site, family run, all of whom can speak French, English and Dutch fluently.    Consequently most of the campers are from these countries.   It is set on a hill overlooking a valley, and is accessed from the St Tropez road, just past the turn off, on the road to Le Lavandou.    The road after the campsite is extremely twisty as it rises up to the Col before heading down towards La Mole and St Tropez.

We have our caravan stored here, at a very reasonable price, and try to come down at least twice a year.     The sites are large, set into the hillside, and surrounded by trees, so rarely do you have another camper too close to you.   The surrounding area is mostly a national park so there are plenty of walks to undertake, in the cooler weather of course.   

The view of the swimming pool, from the terrace.   When you lie on your back on the water, you look out on tree clad hills on three sides.   Perfect location.   The water is always crystal clear.

 Out motor home on one of the sites, with our rental car beside it.

 Drinks on the grass outside our caravan.    The sun is still shining and it is still light.   And we are enjoying it all.   Perfect.

We love coming to Camping Manjastre, and so do our guests.    A beautiful location, plus a friendly and well run camping site, makes for a perfect camping experience.
