Camping L'hippodrome

Perfect campsite! Friendly reception staff, excellent facilities, wonderfully warm and spacious showers. It's closed between 12 and 2 pm, which is easy to keep in mind upon arrival. Today we had a lovely bike ride to Nice (14 km) and yesterday to Antibes (5 km). The Hippodrome racecourse is a 10-minute walk away. The winter season started yesterday, so we were in luck right away. And all for 22 euros a night!

I think that last review was a bit unfair. There are very few campsites open at this time of year and turning up on spec is very risky. I booked a couple of days in advance. The campsite is lovely, and incredibly well positioned for getting to Nice and Monaco. Electricity is expensive so if you’re staying for a few days and don’t need it every day then save yourself some money and only book it when you need it. there is water next to most plots.

The gate doesn't open until after 2:00 PM. We arrived at 2:10 PM and were immediately sent away; the campsite was apparently full.
