Camping L'hippodrome

One of the few campsites on the coast open in winter. We booked in advance. The beach, supermarket, and restaurants are within walking distance. The train station is a 10-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to Grasse, Nice, and Monaco. The campsite has a heated pool, but the water was quite chilly. Good showers.

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.
