Fancy a family holiday where the swimming pool can compete seriously with the beach? Camping Taxo Les Pins in Argelès-sur-Mer makes a very convincing case. Set in a large, pine-filled park between the Mediterranean and the Albères mountains, this four-star campsite combines a substantial aquatic area with plenty of family entertainment.
The headline attraction is the renovated waterpark. There is a heated swimming pool, leisure pool, children's water-play area, paddling pool and a spectacular seven-metre-high waterslide. Add sun terraces, sports facilities, playgrounds, a multisports area, outdoor CrossFit, pétanque and table tennis, and there is little danger of hearing “I'm bored” before lunchtime.
What about the beach? It is roughly 3 kilometres away, and during July and August the campsite operates a free little train/shuttle service towards the beaches. Very handy when carrying buckets, towels and the inevitable collection of beach toys.
Who suits Taxo Les Pins best? Families with children from around 4 to 14 years will get the most from the combination of waterpark, clubs, sports and entertainment. Teenagers have their own space too, while parents can escape for a massage, Mediterranean meal or glass of something chilled.
And the location is a real bonus. Fancy a change of scenery? Collioure, Perpignan, the Albères and the Spanish border are all within easy reach. Recent guest feedback particularly highlights the friendly staff, clean surroundings, strong animation programme, attractive pool area and convenient beach shuttle.

Click to enlargeThe surroundings
Camping Taxo Les Pins sits in a particularly attractive corner of the Pyrénées-Orientales, where Mediterranean coastline meets the foothills of the Albères. Within 15 kilometres, expect tall maritime pines, sandy coastal plains, vineyards and the lively resort landscape of Argelès-sur-Mer. The scenery becomes more dramatic towards Collioure, where rocky coves and wooded hills replace the broad beaches. Inland, small Catalan villages and vineyards create a quieter rural character, while the coast brings promenades, marinas, beach clubs and summer entertainment. It is a wonderfully varied setting for families who like a little bit of everything.

Tip from our team
My tip for Taxo Les Pins is to make the most of the campsite itself before racing off to the beach. The aquatic area is a genuine holiday asset, with several different water areas, shaded places around the pool and the impressive seven-metre slide. Guests highlight the pool, animation team and overall range of facilities, so a few dedicated campsite days are definitely worthwhile. For families with children, check the entertainment programme as soon as you arrive. The mini-club and children's activities are particularly useful during the main summer season, while teenagers have their own dedicated area near the sports facilities. The animation team is one of the campsite's strongest features, with daytime activities followed by concerts, shows and themed evenings. If heading to the beach, use the free little train in July and August. It is considerably easier than loading everyone and everything into the car, and families regularly praise this service. Go a little early during busy periods, as it can become popular. For accommodation, air conditioning is worth prioritising for July and August. The Mediterranean climate can be seriously warm, and current accommodation feedback makes this a particularly sensible choice. Finally, don't rely entirely on the campsite shop for a major food shop. It is useful for basics, bread and holiday emergencies, but the larger supermarkets nearby are better for stocking the fridge. And if choosing a pitch, a shady position beneath the mature pines is a smart move in high summer.

Unfortunately disappointed“Horrible arrival where they put us in a mobile home that smells like cat urine with hair everywhere. Knowing that in addition I am arriving with an infant and they saw it clearly at the reception. After 9 hours of driving we are really disappointed and disgusted. They agree to change our mobile home, cleaning products are the same ones used in the bathroom and on the mattresses and pillows. We have the impression of sleeping on scented and chemical wipes. Once again with an infant and another 6-year-old child. Pool not enough lounge chairs, given the number of tenants clearly unacceptable. There is plenty of room to add more. The welcome is not very warm either, the staff is quite haughty. Too bad because it is a campsite that is made to welcome families. Really disappointed unfortunately.”
