Right by the beach (yet lavishly embellished with an onshore water park), this large and well-equipped campground sports a range of accommodation options: tent sites, wooden chalets and self-catering cottages. The pool, two-lane water slide, and beachside spa with jacuzzi and hammam, plus more mundane services like a grocer, laundry and barbecue, make this a family favourite.
