cerro Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I thought I would share this wild camping site that I have been going to for about four years now, it might not be every body’s cup of tea as especially this year we found it quite noisy with traffic but its free and there are showers on the beach (water) and toilets, fantastic views over Nice with the snow capped mountains in the back ground Cannes in the other direction we found nearest to the marina was the best place where it is about 15’ wide and you don’t have problems. Further up towards nice the beach is wider but you sometimes have to park on the hard shoulder (The banked up dirt is an old photo on Google earth and don’t exist) there is two super markets, and Antibes is about 10 min walk.

malc d Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice views. But it does seem a bit odd though to call it " wild " when there are so many others there. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 malc d - 2013-07-30 2:22 PM Nice views. But it does seem a bit odd though to call it " wild " when there are so many others there. ;-) Correct, the proper terminology should be "free" camping. The spot looks great, whatever you call it.

cerro Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 It always amazes me when you try to help by putting a post on the forum how many smart aleck or negative replies one gets, reminds me of chatterbox trying to win brownie points by belittling some ones post .It now seems its moved to this site. I wish people would engage brain before jumping in feet first, yes you get the odd van for an overnight stay but they are gone by morning and it is week end on the photo, mid week its very quite I don’t go on sites because I don’t like being ripped off at £40 a night with no facilities just like I don’t go in marinas I prefer to anchor. Oh Never mind forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 You have got hold of the wrong end of the stick cerro. The reprobates who have jokingly replied are NOT having a go at you. They have pre empted one of the dragons of this forum who would have upset you with his comments about wildcamping. I am a wildcamper and feel very much like you do about ripoff campsites and camping organisations for 'members'. I found nothing insulting or derogatory about their posts ....... a bit schoolboyish perhaps. *-) . It is just harmless fun and I am sure they appreciate your information for this spot. If you really want to cause a kerfuffle, introduce smoking into the equation. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
