Camping Les Cigales ^★★★★

This facility would get a much better rating if it was staffed more consistently. There was no staff even during posted hours. We were allowed in by a person who said he would tell the staff and they would check us in later but no-one ever came by. Because we didn't have the gate code we couldn't leave... and had to ask other campers. Washing machine not great, dryer didn't dry.

Pros:
Clean, heated restrooms. Decent pitches.

We have stayed on this site twice before on the ACSI rate and although there is no WiFi and the facilities are basic to say the least always thought it was fine for an overnight stop. However, yesterday we drove in for one night stay and the receptionist told us all of the ACSI pitches were full and... she only had a pitch at 40euros but she would give us a 20% discount. We asked if it would accommodate our 8metre motorhome and she said it would. We had been driving all day so decided to stay there. Getting onto the pitch was very stressful and getting off the next morning was awful with 2 other motorhome drivers helping us and worried about their own vans. On leaving I told the receptionist the pitch was much too small and cramped for our van. She had the cheek to say if we had given her an extra 10 euros we could have had a bigger pitch. We had already paid 29,10 euros for basic camping and if this is supposed to be an acsi site why should we have to pay even more? Felt ripped off and will not stay there again.

This lovely little campsite could be a real gem, if only …. Quietly tucked away in a mainly residential area, it is one of the neatest and best laid-out campsites we have ever stayed at. It is very private & secure with mature pines, mimosas and other well-tended trees, with perfect roads and generous,... level hard-standing pitches. The centre of Cannes is about an hour away if you walk to the bus stop and use public transport. It’s an easy journey, it’s cheap, and it’s well worth it. There is a huge Geant supermarket just a few minutes away.

Clearly, there has been a big investment in this campsite, but it falls seriously short where the toilet block is concerned. Perhaps the excellent first impressions highlighted the shortcomings of the toilet block, and it took us completely by surprise. The first thing to hit us was the dampness - the concrete structure must have been so cold that the ceiling was continuously dripping and the floors always wet. You couldn’t even hang a dressing gown on a hook without it getting wet from the water streaming down the walls. It was strange on a site of this quality, that there is no soap, no toilet roll dispensers and no hand-drying facilities. The washing cubicles are badly lit, there are no shelves and few coat hooks. Some of the vanity basins are cracked and the worktops are too deep for easy use. I could go on, but let’s hope that the people who have made this site such a gem, will spend a little more and get their ‘sanitaires’ in shape sometime soon. It would make Les Cigales a little gem!

Well placed, easy access to Cannes and good shopping possibilities close by. Friendly staff and clean place.

Recommended. Only negative is Wi-Fi coverage (one room) and at few places the roads are very narrow and curves sharp IF you are with large camper or caravan like we were.

One of the best places... in our experience.

Nice, large pitches, fairly clean toilets and showers. The whole atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. Short walk to a lovely beach, we cycled into Cannes centre @ 10 km, all in all it just worked for us.
