Heading to the Côte d’Azur… but far from the hustle and bustle of the major seaside resorts. Philippe and Geneviève, CAMPING-CAR PARK ambassadors, take us to the CAMPING-CAR PARK site in Le Lavandou, nicknamed the "City of Dolphins". Nestled between the Massif des Maures and crystal-clear waters, this Mediterranean stopover offers the ideal setting for a motorhome getaway, combining nature, beaches, and the authentic Provençal way of life.

Le Lavandou stretches across 12 kilometres of coastline. Here, it’s not just about a single beach… but twelve different sands, twelve distinct atmospheres.
The Grande Plage, located right in the town centre and lined with fine sand and palm trees, embodies the vibrant spirit of the resort. It’s the perfect spot for an evening stroll or a coffee overlooking the sea.
A little further along, Saint-Clair, nicknamed "the pearl", reveals dazzling turquoise waters. At sunrise, the view is simply breathtaking.
Those looking for peace and quiet will prefer La Fossette, wilder and sheltered by lush greenery.
At the eastern tip, Pramousquier offers a peaceful cove, perfect for recharging your batteries away from the crowds.
By motorhome, this diversity allows you to alternate between relaxing, swimming, and exploring without racking up the miles. Every day becomes a new postcard. 🌞
The Le Lavandou harbor is more than just a place to dock. It is a starting point for the open sea.
This is where you board for the legendary Golden Islands: Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Le Levant. True jewels of the Mediterranean, they captivate with their crystal-clear waters and preserved landscapes.
For motorhome travelers, the logistics are simple: park at the area, head to the harbor, and set off to explore the islands for the day.
Outdoor enthusiasts won't be left out either. The greenway, laid out along the former railway line, allows you to cycle along the coast all the way to Cavalaire 🚴. The steeper coastal path weaves between coves and rocky outcrops, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
Philippe and Geneviève chose to stay at the CAMPING-CAR PARK site in Le Lavandou, situated right opposite Cavalière beach, around 6 km from the town centre.
The area has 46 pitches spread across three platforms. Motorhome owners park alongside the trees, near electrical hookups, in a pleasant and practical setting.
The service area, equipped with two lanes, makes maneuvering easy.
Just 200 meters away, shops and restaurants make daily life simple.
Another advantage: bus line 878 (Toulon – Saint-Tropez) has a stop 100 meters away, “Vieille Douane.” Thanks to the ZOU app, tickets are available for €2.10 per passenger. An ideal solution for sightseeing without moving your motorhome.
Access to the site is easy with the Access Card or the Digital Pass, granting 24/7 entry and access to all amenities (water, electricity, waste disposal).
During the summer season or local events, the Privilege Pack guarantees your pitch upon arrival and allows free cancellation up to 48 hours before your stay. Total peace of mind.
Through this report, Philippe and Geneviève remind us why motorhome travel is unique: freedom of movement, closeness to nature, and discovery at your own pace.
Le Lavandou combines varied beaches, maritime excursions, active walks, and Provençal charm. An ideal destination for a sunny break, whether for a few days or to extend the summer.
The Mediterranean is waiting for you… 🚐🌊☀️
