The four-star campsite Le Palais de la Mer in Saintes-Maries-de-La-Mer is located reasonably close to the town of Perpignan (18 km) and offers direct access to the beach of the French-Catalan coast of the Mediterranean. An unique feature is the superb park, belonging to the campsite, which can be accessed via a small bridge over a river. The park has been designed as a petting zoo with chickens, peacocks, goats, donkeys and more. There is also a small tourist train in the park.

The campsite

The pitches vary from 80 to 100 m2 in size and the sanitary buildings have recently been renovated. This gives them an extremely attractive and functional appearance. There are various sports possibilities on the grounds. To socialise (especially in the evenings) there is the l’Embuscade pub, where musical performances take place three times a week in high season.

Swimming pool/beach

Adjacent to the bar are two swimming pools, one of which is heated, so that you can also swim outside the summer months in a pleasant water temperature. The swimming pool has a waterfall, a childrens' pool and a jacuzzi. The swimming pool is flanked by a number of sun loungers and a solarium. This year (2018) the swimming pool will be scaled up with slides etc. The beautiful sandy beach along the Mediterranean can be accessed from the campsite.

Catering facilities/shop

The restaurant of the campsite is well-frequented and you will be able to watch the performances in the evenings. You can also buy take-away pizzas. In the camping shop you can get all basic necessities, but also beach and camping accessories. On the other hand, near the traffic circle in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer you will find some more shops.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - The Reception staff were outstanding. So friendly and efficient,
The swimming pools were varied and large.
Lovely Hammam and SPA.
The Beach was good and the Campsite had a natural feel about it with lots of trees, plants and shade.
Disliked - How about keeping the restaurant and Tapas bar open until the closure of the campsite?
It's disappointing to arrive for a week and be told everything is closing

Liked - Our pitch was very close to the beach. There was a bin on our pitch which was emptied daily. The toilet/shower blocks were excellent. The beach - beautiful. Pool area looked nice but didn't use it as so near to the beach.
Disliked - Onsite shop is expensive and not very big for the size of the site. Walk to beach is difficult for disabled people as soft sand - wheelchairs would find this impossible - would benefit from a wooden boardwalk so more accessible. Pitch was advertised as having water - there were two rusty taps with brown water.

Liked - Near the beach. Good facilities
Disliked - Very difficult to get on pitches. Some roadways not clearly marked. Wouldn’t stay again, much too difficult to manoeuvre a motorhome on to pitches

Liked - This campsite is not very big but very well taken care of. The people that work there are very nice and approachable. The mobil-homes have their own terrace and also a sunscreen, important when it is hot. And personally I like the murals very much.
