from 15 reviews Write review

Camping Helios, with its beautiful swimming pools, is located close the sea in the Languedoc. The campsite is quiet and has wellness facilities to provide campers with some extra relaxation during their holidays. There is a good quality restaurant with regional dishes and entertainment is offered in the evenings during the high season.

The campsite is located between the Mediterranean, the Libron river and the seaside resort town of Vias. An ideal spot for nice trips in the area. For instance, the towns of Béziers, Roquebrun and Sète are only a short distance away from the campsite, as well as the regional nature park of the Haut-Languedoc and the cave of Devèze.

This amiable family camping has spacious camping pitches which are demarcated with green vegetation. The pitches are well shaded and all have electricity. Each street of the campsite has a water tap connection and there are two excellent ablution buildings. The ratio between touring pitches and annual pitches on the campsite is more or less equal. Because of the ideal location of the campsite, many French people also enjoy spending their holidays at Helios.

Lots of water fun on and near the campsite

The Libron River lies across the street on which the campsite is located. You are allowed to fish here without a permit. The river also has a spot where you can launch boats and proceed to sail in the direction of the sea. The beach is only 200 m away. The sandy beach is an ideal spot to relax with the Mediterranean for swimming.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Absolutely brilliant. We had seen Camping Helios when we stayed in the area two years ago and thought we must come back and give it a try. We were really pleased we did. The location is fantastic, surrounded by trees, vineyards, canals and chirping birds, not to mention the wonderful sandy beach just a two or three minute walk (along a seldom used small country road) away. The staff were superb, super helpful and friendly and went out of their way to provide us with better service than we could possibly have imagined. The standard of accommodation was excellent, the spaces very green, tree-filled, really well laid out and spacious and the site was neither too big nor too small. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools were great and the water slide was terrific. The children's entertainment was great, particularly the laser guns and karaoke, but perhaps they could have used the large outdoor stage once or twice as it seems like a really special place for the children to perform or watch a performance. The shop was excellent too and it was really great to be able to buy the locally produced wine by filling up a plastic bottle. The restaurant offered very tasty pizza .Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we hope to return soon.
