Bandol lies in the Var department, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, on the Mediterranean coast between Marseille and Toulon. The 2 campsites listed here enjoy access to the sea, in a seaside resort known both for its beaches and its vineyards.
People camp in Bandol for its pronounced Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and generally calm seas thanks to the sheltered shape of the bay. The campsite benefits from this coastal setting while staying more human in scale than some of the larger resorts on the Côte d'Azur.
Between the Renécros beach right in the heart of town and the surrounding vineyards with their protected designation, Bandol combines the seaside with a wine-growing hinterland, a fairly rare balance on this stretch of the Var coastline. The 2 campsites listed benefit from this coastal setting, a practical starting point for exploring both the coast and the surrounding vineyards.
Bandol lends its name to a recognised wine appellation, with vineyards that in places run almost down to the coast. Several local estates can be visited and offer tastings of this full-bodied red wine, one of the region's specialities.
Renécros beach, shaped like a small sheltered bay right in the centre of Bandol, remains one of the town's highlights thanks to generally calm waters. Just a short boat ride from the harbour, the island of Bendor can be reached in a few minutes and offers a different, more low-key setting for a day trip.
Bandol's harbour, lively all year round, still has fishing activity alongside its pleasure boats, one of the things that still sets the town apart from some more exclusively tourist-driven resorts on this stretch of the Var coast. The lanes of the centre, lined with terraces, keep a Provençal atmosphere quite far removed from the bustle of some of the coast's larger resorts.
