Parc Highlights

• Popular entertainment around the pool for kids

• Activities include riding, archery and water polo

• Ideal for visiting St Troez, just 16km away

The steeply terraced woodland setting here really is a joy to behold. And the facilities are superb too.

Offering you the best of both worlds, this comprehensively equipped parc is set on a pretty wooded hillside, and though it’s just a short drive from St Tropez and the beaches of the Riviera coast, you are pleasantly insulated from the bustle of the Riviera here. Despite the all round splendor of its facilities, it is the Niagara pool complex, which opens from mid June to the end of August, that really takes your breath away. This fantastic complex is great fun and Eurocamp customers are entitled to free access at certain times, so check with your courier on parc for dates and times. Once you’ve splashed about to your heart’s content, there are many other activities to try here, and if you’re feeling particularly energetic there’s a nightly disco in high season. Our accommodation offers incredible views too, located on steep terraces.

Out and about

Local Directions

From Ste-Maximin-la-Ste-Baume: From the A8 motorway take the Le Muy/St-Tropez exit (exit 36) and follow the D25 to Ste-Maxime. You will come to a roundabout with a McDonald's on your left, where you should take the first exit signposted ‘St-Tropez’. After about 200 yds you will come to a small roundabout with a fountain in the middle. Go straight ahead here until you come to another roundabout, at which you turn right, following the green signs for ‘St-Tropez’ and ‘Toulon’. At the next roundabout go straight on again still following signs for ‘St-Tropez‘ and ‘Toulon’. This will take you onto the coast road. Follow this road for about 600 yds until you come to a small roundabout. Go straight on here and keep going for about a mile, which will bring you to another roundabout. Go straight over in the direction of ‘Port Grimaud’ until you come to the next roundabout with Camping Prairies de la Mer on the left-hand side. Go straight on here and after about 1 mile you will pass a large Renault garage on your right-hand side, closely followed by a mini-golf course. As you approach the next roundabout stay in the right-hand lane and follow signs for ‘Toulon/Hyères’ taking the first slip road on the right. Go straight on at the next roundabout in the direction of ‘Toulon/Hyères’ and after about 1.5 miles at another roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto the N98 towards ‘Toulon/Hyères’, bypassing Cogolin. After about 5 miles you will see an airfield on your left-hand side, turn left immediately after this onto the D27 sign-posted ‘Pachacaïd/Niagara’ Park.
