Holiday Green reviews

We just returned from a 10-day break at Holiday Green on the Côte d'Azur. We’ve stayed at a few French campsites, but this one felt a bit different—it’s more like a luxury village tucked into a pine forest. It’s hilly, art-filled, and very lively, making it a hit for our wide age range of kids. This massive pool complex is easily one of the best pools we’ve seen. There’s a huge "Californian" outdoor pool for the main swimming, but the new water park area (added/expanded for 2024/25) with the big slides was where our 8-year-old lived. For our youngest, the African-themed toddler pool was safe and actually fun. The Free Shuttle Bus is a total game-changer! Fréjus and the beaches are about 7km away, and driving/parking in the South of France in August is a nightmare. We just hopped on the free shuttle from the site which drops you right at the beach or the local markets. Entertainment is aligned to all ages on this park. Often, kids' clubs are just for little ones, but the "Teens Club" here kept our 14-year-old occupied with sports and evening meet-ups. The evening shows in the amphitheatre were professional, and the "Art Travel Bar" had a great vibe for a late-night drink. It’s a "Green" site for a reason. You’re surrounded by pine trees and weird, cool sculptures everywhere. It felt much more upscale than your average "rows of caravans" layout.

We normally book direct with the sites, however this time we stayed in a Eurocamp Comfort XL mobile home, and it really suited our family of five. The biggest benefit of going with Eurocamp was the balance of value and space. While the site's own "Luxe" vans are beautiful, they can be incredibly expensive in peak season. Our Eurocamp unit gave us three proper bedrooms and—most importantly—a gated wooden decking. This was a lifesaver for our 4-year-old; we could leave the French doors open to let the breeze in without worrying about him wandering off into the pine trees! Having the Eurocamp couriers on hand was also great. They were super friendly and gave us some "insider" tips on which beaches were the least crowded. Plus, being able to hire all our bed linen and towels through them meant we had much more room in the car for wine on the way home!

What to Be Prepared For
- Like many sites in this region, it is very hilly. If your mobile home is at the top of the hill, it’s a steep trek down to the pool and an even harder one back up with tired kids. We definitely earned our daily ice creams!
- The supermarket and restaurant are convenient, but they are definitely on the pricey side. We found ourselves doing a "big shop" at the Geant Casino in Fréjus to keep the costs down.

We just spent two weeks at Holiday Green in August and, honestly, if you have toddlers, this place is a dream. We were a bit nervous about the "5-star" label feeling too posh or stiff, but it was incredibly welcoming for little ones. Here is the lowdown on our 2022/2023 experience.

The Pros: Why it’s Perfect for Toddlers
- The African-themed paddling pool was the highlight of our trip. While the big Californian pool is stunning, the dedicated toddler pool is heated and filled with fun animal statues and low-level water features. It’s shallow enough that our 2-year-old could wander confidently without us hovering every second.
- The "Crèche" / Baby Club is One of the rare features of this site, offering a club starting at 18 months old. It gave us a couple of hours of "grown-up time" to actually read a book by the pool, knowing the kids were in a safe, shaded indoor space doing crafts.
- Has a large indoor Heated Pool. We had one "off" day with the weather, but it didn't matter. The indoor pool is heated and has its own little slides, so the kids didn't miss out on their daily swim.
- There is a lovely little farm area on-site. Taking the kids to see the animals became our "calm down" ritual every evening before the mini-disco started.
- Safe & Shady: Because the site is set in a massive pine forest, our pitch was beautifully shaded. This was a lifesaver during the midday 30°C heat, as the kids could play outside without us worrying about constant direct sun.

The Cons: What to Watch Out For
- The site is very steep and terraced. Pushing a double buggy up the hills to the restaurant after a long day at the pool is a serious workout. We’d recommend requesting a pitch closer to the "center" if you have very small children.
- Evening Noise: The entertainment is great, but it is loud. If your toddlers are light sleepers and you’re located near the main stage, the music (which goes on until about 11:30 PM) might be a bit much.

My family of five have just returned from Holiday Green and had a lovely time. The beach is close by but parking can be expensive near the beach so I would recommend walking which generally took us 10 minutes. The girls (and my husband) loved the Aqua park, so we visited it twice in our 2 weeks here. Would recommend Mondays as it is a popular water park and less people tend to visit it early in the week. As for the Holiday Green park, it has a outdoor and indoor pool, the girls loved the indoor best due to the big slide. The toddler pool was ideal for our littl’n and the temperature of the water was adequate.

The restaurant has a good variety of food, not the cheapest or best in cuisine but you did get large portions. The bar served lovely cocktails and even non-alcoholic options for the kids. Other sports were available but the girls stuck to the pool and play park as well as the Canvas clubs most often. The static caravan we chose was new and clean with decking and a parasol for shade which was a godsend with the littl’n. The only drawback was we had to pay 2.50 euros to hire a sunbed in the pool area but I can understand this as the pool was immaculate and very modern so it probably helped maintain it. Overall we think Holiday Green is a great campsite for families alike.

Stayed at Holiday Green for two weeks and the holiday was first class! The pool is massive and the site is a medium size which was nice as we have often stayed on larger sites that can be noisy. The restaurant was pricey but couldn’t fault the food or service. The campsite run children’s clubs but was predominantly French so the kids tended to spend most of their time around the pool when we didn’t go on days out.

The location of Holiday Green is ideal for trips to Paul Vermont and the local Zoo by bus or St.Tropez or St Rapheal reachable by 2 busses, Cannes, Monaco and Nice by car. The Mobile we stayed in was clean and nice but not the newest on the campsite. We booked direct and chose a mid range priced mobile home, would recommend a higher range version or the tour operator mobiles looked very good and we discovered the prices are much less than the higher range campsite owned accommodation.

The campsite is not as commercial as others we have stayed at in France and it is certainly more French than other nationalities that stay here. We know a little French but not Fluent, however the atmosphere is pleasant and the people were very polite and helpful. This is a very picturesque campsite and I would recommend it as a lovely place to holiday.
