  • Peaceful site 10 minutes' walk from Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts
  • Half an hour's drive from the beaches of the Côte Vermeille
  • Heated open-air pool, tennis court and restaurant-bar with theme meals
Perhaps you’re on the indecisive side, or maybe you thrive on variety when on hols – either way, if you’ve got a lengthy wishlist, here’s a place that should prove suitable all round. Pyrénées-Orientales site Camping les Casteillets is one of those sites that can certainly claim to have it all – it’s a peaceful rural spot surrounded by mountain and river views, and yet it’s an easy 10-minute stroll to get to shops, restaurants and the like in Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts. Those mountain views (correctly) hint that this may well be a fine place for a country hike, but if you tire of such scenery it will only take around half an hour to drive over to the coast for beach days at Argelès-Plage or strolls around arty Collioure. Such drives (and lengthier ones for arrivals/farewells) are fairly straightforward, as the site’s a couple of kilometres from Le Boulou, where several motorways intersect. And if you’d like to roam without driving, there’s a bus stop in town where you can continue your adventures without having to factor in such things as parking. The excellent location hasn’t encouraged the folk here to skimp on facilities, though – the site has a heated open-air pool, space for games of football, volleyball, tennis and pétanque, and a bar-restaurant that organises theme nights and takeaway meals. Come along in summer and they also run a small grocery store and bread service for easy eats, and all sorts of activities for all ages by day and night.

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: Pool, friendly staff. Activities seemed good although we didn’t actually take part. Toilets and wash area kept very clean. Beach half hour drive at Argeles was great. Girona 50 minutes.

Disliked: Small point but Wifi only available if paid for, seems a bit steep in this day and age. Other sites have wifi for free.

Local attractions

Prefer your swims in cooler, wilder water? Stroll straight out from the site onto the banks of Le Tech river for walks followed by dips in the water. Alternatively, walk for half an hour (or drive for five minutes) to Les Lacs de Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts for swims, madcap scrambles across floating inflatables, waterskiing and pedaloes (plus a tree-climbing park if you’d rather stay dry for a while). Yet more swims can be had half an hour’s drive away, at the stretch of coast known as the Côte Vermeille. You’ll probably aim for Argelès-Plage for access to the sands and sea, but it’s also worth planning to venture to Collioure to see its castle, Fort Saint-Elme and the harbour that inspired painters including Matisse and Picasso. Both of those artists (along with Chagall, Dufy and other greats) also liked hanging out in Céret (10 minutes’ drive) – as a result, the town now has an excellent contemporary art museum. If you’re more into food than fine art, the town’s still worth a visit for its Saturday market, especially during the area’s famed cherry-growing season.
