Camping L'Hippocampe *****
General information
Small campsite, big fun
A heated leisure pool and the Mediterranean Sea only a kilometre away: this luxury campsite in the South of France is for water lovers. Here, you will feel like a seahorse in water. Camping l’Hippocampe is a massive playground for children. Games in the sports complex, entertaining evening shows: there is plenty to do. And good to know: this campsite is fairly small and car free. So, children can run around with confidence. Meanwhile, parents can enjoy a drink in the Thai restaurant.Beach holiday by the Mediterranean Sea
If you drive along the Mediterranean coast to Spain, you will pass Perpignan close to the border. You will feel the genuine Catalan atmosphere here. Camping l’Hippocampe is just under Perpignan, in Argèles-sur-Mer. You can enjoy your camping holiday at less than a kilometre from the Mediterranean Sea. It is quite touristy here due to the wide beach. But it is nowhere near as busy as the Côte d’Azur or Costa Brava. But possibly just as beautiful.Leisure pool in the tropics
The campsite has a lovely leisure pool. Waterfalls, slides and hot tubs: it's just like you are in the tropics. And all the more because you swim among the palm trees. If you would rather swim in the Mediterranean Sea, it's only a ten-minute walk to the beach. That will be hours of sunbathing and swimming in the sea!French campsite, Thai restaurant
A good Thai restaurant is not something you don't readily find at a French campsite. That makes Le Bambou restaurant even more special. You can eat delicious food in this restaurant with Thai cuisine and a Thai head chef. Le Bambou is next to the leisure pool. You find yourself sitting amid parasols and palm trees. And for that real beach bar feeling, there is beach sand under your feet. Even if you would just like a drink, you are warmly welcome to take a seat on the large patio. You can wine and dine here for hours.Safe and entertaining
You can confidently let your children roam free at Camping l’Hippocampe. The campsite is small and car free. On top of that, they'll be in good hands with the entertainment team. Games are played weekly on the many sports fields. Children can also go there by themselves to play football, beach volleyball and tennis. Are they exhausted from all the sport? Or will they stay up for an entertaining show or concert in the restaurant?One of France's hottest cities: Perpignan
Perpignan is one of France's hottest cities. That is not surprising with over 300 hundred days of sun a year. Perpignan is also a beautiful city to visit. The city was in Spanish hands for a long time during the Middle Ages. The French eventually took it over in the 17th century. Many buildings still show a piece of the history. For example, the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, which was built in 1309. If you visit Perpignan, you are guaranteed a day of sun and history.Even more fun at Camping La Sirène
If you want even more fun and entertainment, no problem. Big brother, Camping La Sirène, is on the other side of the road. As a guest of Camping l’Hippocampe, you are warmly welcome there. With a special pass, you are free to dive into the enormous leisure pool. The water playground and giant slides are extremely popular with children.
