Camping de Sion

The reception staff were friendly and very helpful, and the facilities were good and clean. Great campsite with direct access to a "private" beach.

It's a small campsite in a handy spot between the beach and forest, with walking and cycling access to nearly everything. When we asked online, pitches were available at a reasonable price. On arrival, though, the price had changed because the pitches offered to us weren't open yet and the ground wasn't stabilized for motorhomes. The biggest drawback is the sanitary block. It's outdated, though it has the basics, and only one heated block is open for the whole site, which seems insufficient. There's no accessible shower. The water is pleasantly hot, but cleaning isn't done on Sundays, leaving a gap from Saturday morning to Monday morning. The pool, by contrast, was pleasant and clean at 27°C. The baguette vending machine wasn't working when we arrived but was working by the time we left, which was a shame. Regular campers confirmed the peaceful atmosphere. We could relax outside and watch squirrels in the fir trees on the forest side.

The pitch was comfortable and came with a fridge, table and chairs, which was really handy. The campsite is quiet, the pool is superb, and the beach access is ideal. The sanitary facilities are a little dated but very clean. We'll definitely come back!

The campsite is quiet and in a superb location, and the maintenance staff were very pleasant. But the pool supervision is very lax. Reception said it's up to guests to act as police and warn people who jump in or play ball. There's no security guard, and the campsite gate failed several times. In September they don't accept holiday vouchers, or at least not for amounts below €200. In two years, the manager never greeted us, which doesn't feel in keeping with the camping spirit. Communication about pétanque tournaments needs work. Prices go up each week and each year, while access dates are less flexible for year-round campers. The very old sanitary facilities need renovating.
