Campsite le Bois de Valmarie

Camping le Bois de Valmarie is a small and relaxed campsite, just 100 yards from a beautiful beach, and home to an amazing pool complex. The terraced emplacements rise up the hillside towards the pool, from where there are outstanding views over the bay of Argelès.

Unwind with a refreshing drink from the bar, while the children have hours of fun whizzing down the water slides in the lagoon-style pools linked by waterfalls. At the bottom of the site you will find the superb restaurant, surrounded by colourful flower beds, where you can sample a delicious fresh fish dish from the extensive menu. After dinner, why not relax on the bar terrace with a refreshing glass of local wine.

There is a Canvas Holidays courier on site. There are no Tuesday arrivals.
