Our eco-friendly campsite in Fréjus
A green camping experience in Var
Nestled in the heart of classified Natura 2000 site in Fréjus, near the mouth of the Argens river, our establishment has always made it our priority to respect our environment, and ensure that any activities or developments are undertaken in harmony with the natural landscape surrounding us. Under our new management, the new head of the campsite has aimed to highlight this green philosophy and focus the majority of their strategy towards an eco-responsible process. Our goal is to create a perfect marriage between the health and well-being of our guests and the protection of the ecosystem present on and around the Ecolodge L’Etoile d’Argens. Our goal: Helping you have an unforgettable holiday without leaving a mark on our environment!
In order to turn our establishment into a true eco-friendly and eco-responsible campsite in Var, we began establishing many actions and strategies in 2017. Though we still have a long way to go and many more projects to unpack (such as making the domain an entirely pedestrian area!), our guests are already able to experience some of the delights and benefits of staying in a green campsite in France, surrounded by a natural, calm, soothing environment, on the banks of a charming river and in close range to the most beautiful beaches of Fréjus, Saint Aygulf and Côte d’Azur.
A labelled environmental commitment
In 2017, our campsite was awarded the Green Key Label, to mark the commitment of our green campsite and the actions we taken to preserve the environment. The Tourist Green Key Ecolabel is the first international environment label for tourist accommodation and restauration. Any professionals awarded this label have shown proof of their active dedication to the environment as well as their willing intent to aim for the best green practices recommended by the Green Key principles.
In 2021, we also became the proud owners of an EU Ecolabel, After being awarded yet another green label in 2022 for our green actions, our team is far from finished. We are continuing to push ourselves even further in order to achieve our goal of becoming a 100% eco and family-friendly campsite!
In 2022, our 5 star rating was renewed once more.
Environmental Charter
Our eco-friendly campsite in Var offers our guests the chance to support our green cause and environmental practices through simple, sensible behaviour listed in a charter of good environmental practices. With just a bit of effort, our small actions and gestures, if produced by many, can help us preserve both our planet and our campsite’s surrounding environment!
The best eco-gestures for the best and most environmentally-respectful kind of holiday
Since 2017, many actions have been undertaken to make our campsite more eco-friendly and help us pursue our goal of a sustainable, virtuous tourism. Read more about some of our most remarkable eco-gestures below:
The Ecolodge L’Etoile d’Argens is a member of the LPO association for the protection of birds, and is even classed as an LPO Sanctuary.
Did you know? The Ecolodge L’Etoile d’Argens is home to over 70 pairs of budgerigars.
Our campsite has been proudly showing our support to the League of the Protection of Birds since May 2017! More recently, in February 2019, our campsite was classed as an LPO Sanctuary. This means that we are committed to protecting the surrounding nature on our land in order to preserve the habitat of our bird neighbours. This is accomplished through using only natural products in the upkeep of our lush green spaces, setting up bird nesting boxes and baths, leaving piles of dead leaves, etc.
Our upcoming projects to transform the Ecolodge L’Etoile d’Argens into the symbol of green camping in France

A 100% pedestrian campsite!
Transforming our establishment into a 100% pedestrian campsite is one of our top priorities for the future. Limiting access to the park to vehicles is a crucial move to allow our holidaymakers and their children to have a peaceful and safe stay. Our goal is also to reduce the use of polluting vehicles inside the park itself. To help us with this plan, a bicycle rental service is available to our guests. As for our staff, any vehicles used inside the campsite are all electric.
