Domaine de l'Escride

A historic naturist campsite

Domaine de l'Escride has been around since 1973, making it a safe bet in Var's naturist scene. It's tucked away in a pine forest, right in the heart of the village of Belgentier, far from the bustle of the coast.

With only 50 pitches, the place stays human-sized. This is a far cry from the big naturist resorts on the coast, here the vibe is more family-friendly and welcoming.

Accommodation and pitches

The campsite offers several options: bare pitches for pitching a tent or parking a caravan, comfortable studios, and a few recent mobile homes for those who prefer everything ready to go.

Rates range from 8 euros per person for campsite access, to 25 or 31 euros for a pitch depending on whether you need electricity or not. Rentals (studios, mobile homes) start at 45 euros a day and go up to 90 euros.

Pool, sports and relaxation

On site, you'll find a pool (open only in July and August, so watch out if you're coming outside that window), a tennis court, a volleyball court, a pétanque area and a ping-pong table.

On the food side, a bar serves drinks and cocktails, along with a pizzeria for simple meals. Enough to spend the whole day without ever leaving the campsite.

Nearby naturist beaches

The estate is about 20 kilometers from the sea, and more importantly close to three well-known naturist beaches along the Var coast. That's a real plus for those who want to switch between pine forest and seaside during their stay.

What regulars say

Feedback on this small campsite highlights a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, typical of naturist spots that see the same faces come back year after year. The facilities are said to be well maintained but stay basic, with no hotel-like pretensions.

The campsite only operates in season, from June 15 to September 30. For a nature getaway, peaceful, in a Var pine forest, with the sea and its naturist beaches just a short drive away, this address has what it takes to win over fans of laid back naturism.
