Camping Sandaya Île des Papes

I spent two weeks at this campsite. Overall, my stay was pleasant thanks to a top-notch team 👍. The entertainers are very welcoming, dynamic, and truly committed to their work. The reception staff is also very friendly, just like the caretaker, which makes the overall atmosphere very friendly. However, there are several points that need improvement. In the mobile home located at the back, there was no television, which seems indispensable to me in 2026, even for a standard version. The phone network is fair at best, and the wifi is far too expensive. Free access at least in the bar would be the least that could be offered. Regarding the facilities, the garden equipment leaves a lot to be desired: a broken and dirty clothes dryer, as well as stained mattress covers, which is really a pity.

A beautiful campsite, unfortunately it closes on 02.10.22 and not as described on 01.11.2022

Unfortunately, there is a very audible high-voltage line running over the square

Very spacious grounds. Extensive forest and meadow areas are part of the site. Camping vehicle parking spaces are shaded by tall trees and are very large (about 100m²) located close to the swimming pool. Sanitary facilities with separate WC and washing areas. WCs are not equipped with toilet seats. Toilet paper is available in the entrance area in a central paper dispenser. Children's WC available. Handwashing basins with paper towels. In the shower cubicles, there are fixed shower heads. Water temperature is adjustable. A rubber scraper for drying the floor is provided. Hairdryers available. Dishwashing area outside but covered. Water temperature is adjustable here as well. Baby bathing room, washing machine + dryer, personal showers are offered in the sanitary building. Waste containers, glass containers, and paper containers are available for waste disposal. Several playgrounds for ball games, volleyball, and mini-golf. Small shop for daily bread and essential groceries. Very spacious swimming pool and extra water adventure world for children. Facilities are kept very clean. Many sun loungers in the pool area. Meadow plots with many beautiful oleander bushes. Various rental tents and mobile homes with extensive amenities: gas stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, air conditioning, heating, deck chairs. Note: The roof of the small 1-room mobile homes is not waterproof. Everything on the terrace gets wet when it rains. In the 2-room mobile homes, the terrace can be closed off with sliding doors. The railway line running across the river and road causes only slight noise pollution. The dam at the northern tip of the island can create a loud noise when several gates are open. In the pre-season, the site is little occupied and one can find a quiet place here, where the chirping of birds is often the loudest noise. Animation and open-air music are only available in the high season.

We are traveling with 2 boys (3 and 5 years old). The site is very beautifully located. Dams are adjacent. Very beautiful show. Nothing can be heard from it at the site. The facility is beautifully located and well-maintained. The pool could belong to a 4-star hotel. The pool area for toddlers is wonderfully designed, very large, and separate from the main pool, which is also clean and well-maintained. Water is renewed daily or refilled with fresh water. We had just under 38 degrees. The pool was perfect for that. And not overcrowded. The toilets are simple but clean. Animation for the kids is available as long as they speak French. All in all, the site is recommendable.

Stopped here on our way and discovered a real gem! The site is spacious with good sanitary facilities and a pool area that one would expect in a high-end hotel. For the little ones, there is a large splash area with a small water slide, etc. We were in the edge area of the site with a view of the Rhone. Fantastic! We definitely recommend this place. It’s worth it even for a longer stay!
