Camping Sunêlia Les Sablons

Great, clean campsite. We had a mobile home that was clean and modern! The arrangement of the houses is really great, creating a quiet and green courtyard. The cars are outside, which calms everything down. However, the kitchenware provided was very minimal. Those bringing their own bed linen should also have queen size with them ;). You will NOT be informed about this here! Wi-Fi is available, but useless as it hardly works at all. Basically, we had the feeling that we (Germans) were not welcome the whole time, which started with extremely poorly translated emails from the campsite and continued with the entertainment that mostly took place only in French. Last year we were at the Ca Pasqualli site in Cavallino (Italy), so we have a good comparison ;). The Italians included everyone!

The mobile home was top-notch. Camping was actually nice too, except for the toilets. However, our holiday was ruined at the family pool. The lifeguards have constantly changing rules and incessantly bother all guests. Lifeguard 1 points out the ban on swim shorts. Okay, that's the rule here, even if it's hard to understand. So I put on another swimsuit. Lifeguard 1: okay. An hour later, lifeguard 2 wants to touch my swimsuit (???) but then it's okay too. Then lifeguard 3 shows up at the end and says it's not okay. Bought a new swimsuit, everything's okay. On day 2, suddenly my 3-year-old son's swim shorts are not okay, which was no problem the day before. He has to take them off and go in the water in a diaper, he starts crying, but that doesn't matter. Playing with the ball and everything else that kids like to do at the pool is anyway prohibited. The best part to finish: all lifeguards themselves wear the strictly prohibited shorts!

We visited 7-8 years ago, it is not what it used to be. It is not as clean anymore, there are a lot of ants.

Overall a good place. We have been at the same pitch with private sanitary for the second summer in a row. Unfortunately, the things that were already defective last year, such as the drink holder in the refrigerator or the seams that have come apart in the bathroom (ceiling height coated with cracks), were not repaired and continue to open up. The wastewater connection for the caravan was built so high that an external connection was not possible. The paths are narrow and partly impassable due to a vehicle parked for a trailer. The reservable sports offer was almost impossible to book in the low season, and the necessary rackets were not available in sufficient numbers. Overall a very expensive place, maintenance could be better. Nevertheless, a good compromise especially with children.

April: simply a wonderful time to enjoy the spring, at this campsite, very quiet, very clean

We cannot understand how such a place can receive 5*. We have been traveling across Europe for many years at various sites, but we have never experienced anything like this. I will try to summarize the worst: 1. The value for what was paid. End of August still €90/night for an ordinary plot? At a 5* site you can't go wrong. At least that’s what we thought... 2. Every square meter on the whole site is clearly geared towards profit. There are no quiet zones or green areas, e.g. with benches where you can just sit. Everything is crammed and much too tight, also too densely built up in the mobile home area. The access roads to the pitches are sometimes blocked because there is no other way to park the car; with a 2.50m wide caravan sometimes impassable. 3. In the pool area, almost everything is prohibited; you feel like you are in an 80s outdoor pool. No loose swimming shorts, no quick dunk, no swimming aids. The lifeguards whistle immediately, you feel constantly watched. It is forbidden to slide down the slide with your child (5 years old). My wife was whistled at with my son with a swimming aid - it is prohibited. Eating prohibited, drinking prohibited. Luckily breathing is still allowed! 3. Speed limits seem to interest no one. Many are driving at 20-30 km/h, right past playing children, and on the already narrow gravel paths. 4. Animation is way too loud, and only in French. 5. There was no soap in the men's restroom even once during our 5-day stay. Way too few sanitary facilities for so many pitches. And at 11:00 PM it gets closed!?! 6. Water is only available every few pitches at one tap; it takes about 5 minutes to fill 10 liters because there is so little pressure. 7. Pizza in the local booth is like on a conveyor belt, goes through an oven and one of ours was still raw inside. Uncomfortable restaurant generally not recommended. The only thing to praise is the children's playground and the adjacent biotope with the animal enclosures. As a camper, you really shouldn't put yourself through this. Better to go a few km further over the border; there are so many wonderful places on the Spanish Costa Brava.

We were at Les Sablons for the first time in August 2023 - a pitch for a caravan and a pitch for a tent. We booked a certain pitch category and size. What we got were the two smallest pitches in this area, with vehicles parked on the paths or off to the side. Either all pitches in the category are the same size or simply cheaper. We have never experienced anything like this in Austria or Croatia. The number of sanitary facilities is far too low. In the showers, there are no hooks to hang the towel. The washhouse is used as a charging spot for phones or to get better reception. The washing basins are tiny. Well... something still needs to be done here.

We were on site for Easter this year. Had a nice pitch with its own sanitary area and sink with freezer combination. Unfortunately, not everything was open due to the season. The beach is beautiful, dog beach 5 minutes from the site by car. Prices in the restaurant are too high for the ambiance and offer, the restaurant is a better snack bar. The Wi-Fi was a disaster, medieval greetings. Not usable once in 14 days, despite several inquiries at the reception.
