Camping Les Galets

What Camping Les Galets does

Camping Les Galets is a 4-star family-owned campsite operating under Société BEY ET SES ENFANTS SAS in Argelès-sur-Mer, on France's Mediterranean coast in the Pyrénées-Orientales (Occitanie). The property comprises 233 pitches spread across 5 hectares of wooded parkland, including mobile homes (six tiers from entry-level ECO to premium Privilege SPA), wooden chalets (Phénix, Zénith, Aurore), and traditional tent and caravan pitches, plus a 2,500 m² heated aquatic complex with a 400 m² lagoon pool at 28 °C, three water slides, balneo jets, and a solarium. The site operates seasonally from April to September and serves leisure travelers with accommodations priced from €22 per night for tent pitches to €87+ per night for mobile homes with private Sundance jacuzzis in a new car-free pedestrian quarter.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: accommodation rentals as the dominant stream, on-site food and beverage at the Le Lagon bar-restaurant, and wellness services including massages and aesthetic treatments. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via the company's own multilingual website (booking supported in French, Dutch, Spanish, English, German, and Catalan), phone reservations, and walk-in inquiries — no third-party OTA partnerships are evidenced. Ancillary traffic and guest spend are supported by an ecosystem of 12+ local activity partnerships covering sea excursions, kayaking, canyoning, paddle, diving, mountain biking, electric scooters, cultural tours, and family farm visits, several of which offer guest discounts and shuttle coordination during peak months.

The operation is differentiated by a stack of certifications: Clef Verte (Green Key) since 2007 — the first establishment in Argelès-sur-Mer to receive it — LPO Refuge (bird sanctuary) since 2019, Camping Qualité, Famille Plus, Tourisme et Handicap, and a national Quality Tourism label. Family ownership is led by Manuel Bey as Directeur de Publication, with his uncle Jean-Michel Bey having driven the long-running environmental program. Recent capital deployment has been focused on premium-segment growth — the 35-unit Privilege pedestrian quarter with private spas, the addition of a coworking space targeting digital nomads, EV charging stations, and multilingual website expansion — rather than on net new capacity at the 233-pitch level.
