2024 : Let’s face the challenges together
After the health crisis, we are all now facing an energy and economic crisis. We have studied the situation for a long time and we invite you to find out why and how your stay will be impacted by our fair choices. We hope you will appreciate our transparency of information !
Togethere, let’s face the challenges for 2024!
Please note
💦 Balneo Space: open from April 1, 2023 (closed in January, February and March).
⚡ Pay attention to your consumption and your Electricity budget (Price always high).
🚧 Construction site in the neighborhood: risk of noise towards the top of the campsite EXCEPT from July 15 to August 15.
✨ Our renewed commitment to quality (even without a label).
More details below
😵 Context (state of play in December 2023):
- The price of camping energy (mainly electricity and gas) has increased by +350% in 2023 !!!
- Camping cost inflation has already increased by +7% in 2022 and by +4% in 2023.
- In solidarity, we immediately increased the salaries of our employees in the same proportions so that their life power remains stable.
- We know camping accommodation is often a cost-saving holiday choice for the most fragile budgets.
So that’s why we had to make tough decisions that safeguard our business (established 70 years ago !) deeply respecting your expectations.

💪 Action plan for 2024 ( what you need to know before coming to stay ) :
- Sobriety : The campsite will reduce its energy consumption !
- The late opening of the Balneotherapy Area from Easter (around April 1) is extended to 2024. 💦
This experiment carried out in 2023 was a very big source of energy savings and it is our responsibility to learn from it.
- Encouragement to moderate the electricity consumption of each guest : More rigorous control and real application of out-of-package overruns provided for in the tariff (hitherto often offered). A deposit of 10 €/day may be requested upon arrival.
⚡ Example: the electrical supplement of 10 amps allows you to benefit from 10 kW per night.
If you stay 3 nights and you consume 39 kW, you will then exceed 9 Kw which will be charged to you on your departure € 4.00 (i.e. € 2.00 per 5 Kw).
- Price adjustment (down for electricity!):
Despite general inflation, we managed to negotiate a “moderate” and stable electricity rate for 2 years with our new supplier. The choice of our prices for 2024 therefore aims to reflect this reality and respect a fair balance of efforts between the different types of guests (rentals, camper vans, tents) and the use of common services offered to all.
- Significant reduction on electrical supplements for pitches: between -25% and -38%! (These prices had increased significantly in 2023).
- Moderate adjustment in other tariffs : between +3% and +4.5% for pitches and rentals.
- Support assumed by the establishment : the campsite will honor all of its gas and fuel bills at its own expense and will also partially supplement it with its financial reserves for electricity.

🚧 Construction site in the neighborhood:
- A building site will take place until end-2024 on land near the campsite (at the level of the Tonga chalets, towards the top of the campsite, if you locate). Despite our defense of your peace of mind, there will in fact be noise pollution over a good half of the campsite, without it being possible to define the weeks and months concerned (it is possible that you will not experience any inconvenience!). In any case, we will be in the front row with you… Let’s stay positive: the site is quite large and will not be permanently on our neighborhood boundary; the hours of very structured activity we will leave the happiness of the aperitifs and the barbecues. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding !
IMPORTANT: The construction will be stopped from July 15 to August 15.

✨ Our commitment to quality… without “Camping Quality”:
- This year, 2024, we have decided to continue our commitment to a consistently high-quality welcome but without renewing our affiliation with the “Camping Quality” label. This is a purely professional choice: we did not want to take on the pressure of the label’s criteria in addition to the various challenges faced in the current context. Sometimes you have to choose your challenges!
For you nothing changes ! As for 70 years, Quality remains our guide. We will do everything we can to offer you an authentic service (a “real” campsite!), a respectful and open welcome, an evolving environmental framework, and a team to your service.

💕Some advices for your stay :
Choose a budget for your vacation and use it according to your priorities :
-
- Adapt your electrical needs :
By controlling your comfort or your heating mode in your installation, you can limit the number of nights requiring 10 amps of electricity. However, keep in mind that it will be impossible for us to make such changes every day.
At your request, we indicate the status of your personal meter. To avoid electrical overruns, monitor your consumption over 2 or 3 days to assess your needs as accurately as possible.
- Choose the dates of your stay carefully:
Depending on your budget, you could reduce the length of stay, or simply shift it to a less energy-intensive period or with a low season price.
- Simulate your stay to know its exact cost and watch our promotions !
Use our reservation system and think about our Early-booking offer: by booking in advance, you save administration fees. The 2023 schedule is open, it’s time !
- Organize your stay to benefit from our advantages :
We are ideally located in the heart of the French Riviera with very easy access to public transport and cycle paths. Leave your vehicle and spend your days away from the campsite (and away from the construction site): you will discover many ways to visit our region, while saving gas costs, and, on your return, you will appreciate the calm of our establishment for a well deserved rest !
♥♥♥♥♥
Yesterday, today and even more tomorrow, the Parc des Maurettes campsite is very keen to convey a message of respect to all travelers of all origins. The transparency of these explanations and the spirit of solidarity that unites us make our establishment much more than a campsite under the sun of the Côte d’Azur: it is a place of human commitment that you have chosen for your holidays !
We thank you very much for your understanding. See you soon !
