L'Ecolodge L'Etoile d'Argens

Nice camping for families. The lodges are in good condition, everything functioned. The couch is unfortunately not comfortable at all, so lounging or just hanging out in the lodge is not an option. Great pool for kids, nice restaurant, small supermarket and activities nearby.

We just arrived back from our stay at Ecolodge L'Étoile d'Argens. In general we had a good time. The staff were friendly, the environment is relaxed, good kids club and there is easy access to Frejus on a bike, there are however there are a few things to be aware of. Firstly the swimming pool is small for the number of guests with the pool being extremely over crowded by the afternoon, with often no sun lounges available to sit on. Side note, speedos are mandatory which other guests also thought was not ideal. Secondly the kitchen and kids bedroom in our accommodation smelt of urine when we arrived and persisted during our stay which is not what you expect given we paid for a higher priced accommodation. Maybe due to the floor drain and no ventilation fan in the toilet. Thirdly at night the tranquility is ruined by the roaring of monster trucks across the road from the camping. We were even one of the furthest spots from the front of the complex but it was still very loud at night. Lastly the food is vastly overpriced. The food is pretty basic but you easily pay over 120 euros per meal for a family of 4.

Overpriced and shabby We spent two weeks at the campsite in a "luxury cabin" and are appalled at the standard for this price: - The rented and very expensive wooden house had numerous defects. Neither the bathroom door could be closed nor the drain in the shower worked, so we couldn't even take a shower after driving for over 15 hours. The furniture and interior design was generally worn out. - The floor in the bathroom was so crooked that the water was constantly standing. - The electronic lock on the front door broke and took over a day to be repaired, allowing anyone to enter the cabin. - Empty bottles were piled up on the mini golf course for children and families (!) and were not put away even after days. Overall, the green areas were unkempt. - The barrier at the entrance to the square was broken for days so that everyone could enter the area. Absolutely not appropriate for a supposed 5-star campsite. As a courtesy, we were initially offered a voucher for €100 for our next booking, then offered for less than 10% of the booking price, which was far too high. We have booked various places with Sandaya for several years, but that is not possible!
