Camping Les Criques de Porteils, Five-star campground in Argelès-sur-Mer, France.
Camping Les Criques de Porteils is a lodging facility with 175 pitches set on the rocky coastline of Côte Vermeille, offering direct access to several Mediterranean coves. Accommodation options range from standard camping plots to equipped mobile homes with private bathrooms.
The facility began as a simple camping area and has grown into a premium outdoor lodging destination over time. This transformation reflects the increasing development of coastal tourism in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
The on-site restaurant serves Mediterranean seafood prepared in the local tradition, connecting visitors to the region's fishing heritage. Diners can experience the food culture shaped by generations of coastal communities in this area.
The campground operates seasonally from spring through fall, with the best visiting conditions outside the peak summer months. Visitors should plan extra time for orientation upon arrival, as the terraced layout on the rocky coastline can take time to navigate.
Each pitch sits on its own terrace, meaning nearly all guests enjoy unobstructed views of the Mediterranean and private vantage points over the coves. This is notably rare for campgrounds, where typically only a handful of plots offer such elevated positions.
