Camping Por La Mar

We stayed here 1 night in our campervan, level pitch, good value. Staff were very friendly and helpful, facilities were okay, bathrooms and showers could do with updating. We arrived on the low season so there was not much going on in the local town but it was a 5-10 minute drive to Menton which was really good.

To be honest, the only reason for a 3/5 rating is the staff which was very nice and extremely helpful. However all the rest deserves a 2/5. Toilets are a joke. They are dirty, smelly and most of the cabins don't even have proper toilet seats (you need to kneel to use them). Obviously there's no soap or toilet paper in them. If it comes to tent places, they are quite small, but they were all right. Even though there's some kind of material on the ground which seemed amazing, we quickly noticed that it was broken in many places and you could trip and fall. Showers time is limited and you can't regulate how hot it is and there's a very limited parking space. Not to mention the noise from the nearby road that is just unbearable. And all of that for a price of a much higher standard campsite. I honestly struggle to think of any positives apart from the staff

A stay in a small tent for 2 people + bicycles, no car, end of August cost 39€ for one night. For this price, you get a tiny parcel covered on 3 sides with 2m high wood walls and a floor covered in plastic sheets that generates incredible amounts of micro plastic. The showers require some special card to access the time-limited semi-warm water and seem straight out of 1970. Noise-level is high due to not only the street but the sheer closeness to other tents enforced by the tiny parcel. If this is Camping, I would rather stay home. The single upside is that the people who run this place are very friendly.
