Facilities in the Camping area in Cap d'Agde
Each camp spot has its own power and water supply, thus you can hook up everything for power when you arrive. The camp spots are large and can accommodate caravans, motor homes or car tents. Some people make quite extravagant set-ups - particularly those staying in the camping area for several months.
Useful Tip and Advice
The camp site supply is 5 amps and you should not need more then 10 meters of lead. You need the round blue plug - this plug is EU standard and used at many campsite
in Europe. You can draw 5 amps corresponding to 1100 Watt.
Within the camp site, you will also find a laundry room, a pizza van/unit, main office (where you can purchase Internet login time and use the safe deposit boxes), a bakery and a few others stalls.
Overall the camp site is many people's favourite area in the resort to stay and it does tend to have a very relaxed and secure feeling.
Showers and Toilers (Restrooms)
Visitor Review: The facilities are clean and well maintained and all of the showers and restrooms are co-ed. After the initial "shock", it didn't bother me at all. Showers are typically a series of open stalls, normally two rows facing one another. Not all the showers on the campground are warm showers, and warm water is not always turned on, but I never had a problem. There are plenty of warm showers facilities around the campsite, and their operation times seemed convenient. Toilets are mostly French (stand up/crouch, etc.), but there are a few sit down.
Access to the Camp site (Wristbands)
When you sign on at the campsite you will be issued with wristbands which allow
passage on and off the campsite with unrestricted access to all areas of the
beach and 'village'. In fact the only restriction is on people who are not
camping getting ON to the campsite.
Common Questions
Do you have to prebook a camp pitch or just turn up?
We recommend that you book before arriving and for the camp site, you can book through Rene Oltra.
The campsite hookups are usually the three round pin campsite type (one slightly bigger than the other two). Some pitches however have a different type (normal French socket I think). Campsite reception will sell or rent you an adaptor (round normal type to French type) if needed. There's a good bazaar in the 'town' which also has electrical bits and pieces. No way you'll be stuck. There's a fridge hire service too if needed. If you're driving down stock up on wine and cheese at the Super U in Cap d'Agde before going into the Naturist Quarter.
Regarding the campsite, it's big, rectangular and made up of pitches all more or less the same size, nearly all shady. I'd say you are best off going for a pitch near to the beach and close to the bread and grocery shop inside the site, which means allée A,B,C,D,E,F, numbers around 80 to 140. This means you'll have a good walk to reach reception (always a pleasant walk) and the town, but if like us you only go there in the evening that's no problem. It also means you don't see cars, trucks, dressed people etc. You can easily walk everywhere in the village.
"My wife and I actually found we loved the first time but the second time was even better - especially because we stayed on the campsite, which opens up a whole new world."
"The chalets on the camp site are superb. They are fairly modern and in very good condition & have everything you need ie. fridge, microwave, sheets, pillow slips (French pillows are more square as opposed to rectangular that I am used to). Crockery, glasses, cutting board and knives, kettle etc. Only complaint was the pressure of the shower but that was easily fixed as I was able to use one of the main open shower blocks around the camp. I was next to a newly built shower complex that was excellent and the showers had great pressure.
The campground is superb. You can be live without clothes 24/7 and it is an easy walk out to the beautiful beach - makes for the best holiday, great tan, lost weight, fit and active at the end of it - beats sitting at a desk in front of a computer by a long way!
Safe Deposit Boxes
There are safety deposit boxes at main Reception, just ask when you are in there and they will allocate you a deposit box. There may be a small fee involved.
More Tips and Advice - Camping in Cap d'Agde
There is a large sporting good store in Beziers not for from the Cap, on D612/N1112, just off the A9 autoroute. I believe they are Decathalon and Intersport. There may be another closer to Agde in the center where Hyper-U is located. There's also a huge sporting good store in Montpellier, right next to Ikea.
