I havn't beeen there since the early 90's but there is room for unit, vehicle and awning on the pitch. We never had a gezebo but table and four chairs were no problem. If you put Valras plage into google maps you can see the area on sat view and use street view on the larger roads.

Last year I left Privas in the Ardeche to start the slow journey home on 15th July. I was a bit low on fuel and had concerns that I may not get any. In the event there was no problems with manned ones open everywhere I passed. The only ones shut were the small independants on rural roads.
