Pitch with sanitary facilities
Although you can sometimes hear the traffic noise of the nearby N94, the campsite Les Cariamas is generally quiet. You are camping in a natural environment, in which the pitches are arranged orderly. A special feature are the sanitary facilities: there is a small sanitary block on each pitch. You don't have your own camping equipment? Book a stay in one of the various rental accommodations. The wooden chalets in particular fit in beautifully with the landscape.
