Camping accommodation at Cap d'Agde, France - naturist resort

Overview: Camping at Cap d'Agde naturism and naturist resort, France

Staying on the campsite is a very different and excellent experience, compared to staying in the units and hotel accommodation in the naturism and naturists resort. Unlike areas around the hotel, people walk clothesless around the campsite 24 hours a day and many families and groups of friends stay on the campsite. Additionally the facilities are simply excellent and there are:

Toilet and shower facilities

The facilities are excellent on the campsite and this includes all of the shower and toilet blocks. The shower and toilet blocks can be found always within a few blocks i.e. never more than 5 minutes walk (at the most). The blocks appeared to be cleaned at least twice a day with pressure hose. There are plenty of sinks for washing clothes on the outside of the units, sinks for shaving and washing your teeth etc in the blocks and both Turkish style and European style toilets (seated toilets). There are shower blocks which provide hot water and others which provide cold. View a map of the Cap d'Agde camping area here.

Food stores on the campsite

There are several shops and a couple of supermarkets within the naturism and nudism resort at Cap d'Agde, but when staying on the camping site at Cap d'Agde, there is also a fruit and vegetables stall just inside the camping entrance (note that you must have a pass to enter the campsite). By the front entrance of the campsite there is also often a pizza van.

Additionally, there is a food place pretty much in the middle of the campsite (they sell baguettes, roast chickens, some other foods and they also have a small inside shop with basics such as matches, toilet paper etc). At this campsite mid-point, they also sell wine and drinks and there are several tables and chairs for you to sit down. You will also find 3 telephone boxes here.

Launderette (On the campsite at Cap d'Agde)

There is a small self service launderette room on the campsite in Cap d'Agde naturist/naturism and nudism resort. The launderette is located just inside the main entrance to the campsite, next door to the Rene Oltra office. You will probably only need to use the washing machines because you can hang your clothes out to dry at your camp spot. A lot of people choose simply to wash their own clothes because the shower blocks usually have sinks where you can wash clothes or dishes (i.e. deep sinks on the outside of the shower blocks).

*I highly recommend buying a portable washing line which you can buy for about €5 in most airports.
*If you are not using clothes hardly at all during your stay (as is the plan on a naturism resort), you shouldn't have much washing to do during your stay - one great advantage of this kind of holiday.

Arriving at the resort. Access to the camping area

When you travel and arrive at the entrance to the enclosed naturism and nudists resort, you will have to register in the office at the entrance. You will usually need to pay roughly 10 or 20 euros for an entrance card.

Once inside the main resort, you will then have to gain access to the campsite. if you go to the campsite (which is situated on the left side of the resort - see the naturism, naturists and nudist resort map). At the gate if you explain that you are checking in, they will allow you to go just inside, to the Rene Oltra office).

In the Rene Oltra office, you will need to check-in and if you do not already have an FFN card (French naturism and nudists Federation membership), then you will need to buy it there and again. You have to be a member of the FFN to stay in the camp site. To stay at Cap d'Agde naturists and naturism village, but not in the camping area, you do NOt need to have an FFN card.

One you are signed in and paid up, you will be allocated your spot, home or chalet. You will also be given a coloured wristband and this wristband is your entrance to the campsite for the rest of your stay.

Cap Da'gde Internet Access and Wireless Points

There is Internet access in the Rene Oltra office just inside the entrance to the campsite. from what I saw personally, several people also have satellite dishes on their mobile Homes in the campsite and several had laptops. I am unsure as this time as to whether or not they were connected to the net.

There is also a small Internet cafe on the main part of the naturist village in the Port Ambonne building. Internet usage is expensive in the Rene Oltra office building and in the Internet cafe at about 10 euros an hour.

Benefits of the naturist camp site area

My wife and I have stayed in Hotel Eve, in the campsite and also in some of the main blocks. For us though, the camp site was the best experience and this for many reasons. The main reasons were:
- There are far more naturists on the campsite and people walk around in the buff 24 hours a day.
- It can be far cheaper than staying in Hotel Eve (especially if camping i.e. with a tent)
- There are entrances directly onto the beach
- There are more choices for entertainment, with some facilities in the camping area only for people staying in the camp area
- The general atmosphere is just great on the campsite. It is difficult to explain but the genuine feeling is great, i.e. with many people cooking by barbeque and making their own food and sitting down outside in groups of friends etc. Learn more about naturist accommodation in Agde France.

Family naturism and nudists camping at Cap d'Agde

There is sometimes discussion as to whether or not Cap d'Agde is a good resort for family naturisml. Is it good for family vacations and holidays?

The fact is, is that the camping area is very much a real naturists area and many families stay in the campsite. There were many young children on the campsite and there is even a children's club, where activities are organised. My wife and i ourselves would not hesitate to take our young children to Cap d'Agde but we would stay in the camping area if we had kids with us.

It is quite true that there are many naturists centres in France and some are perhaps more geared towards family naturism and naturistsl. Having said that, this campsite and the beach are probably as good as any in France. other campsites may offer more entertainment but they are also more expensive. Why not try Cap d'Agde once at least.
