CAMPING NATURA - MANDRA BEACH

We were really looking forward to a few days of relaxing at this site and the beach. The owner was friendly enough and told us to pick our own spot. We noticed lots of scruffy vans with old tarpaulin and broken bits of furniture round them so we found a nice spot at the back with some shade and grass. The owner's brother kindly lent me an extension cable so we could keep our phones and tablets charged. Had a lovely stroll along the beach and then returned to the site to see what was what. The taverna next door did not look inviting so we thought about getting something from the site's mini market. A reasonable range and fair prices. The kitchen area for the site looked promising, but closer look it was grubby and equipment not in a good state of repair - taps not working at several sinks and no hot water. Users of the kitchen facilities would appear to not understand the principal of cleaning up after you have used the sink or stoves. Plus the lack of regular frequent cleaning did not help. The toilet and shower blocks for males and females were an absolute disgrace. Cleaning by site staff was almost non existent. The photos will show the old excrement on the tiles in the toilet, the poor cleaning and overall dire standards. Luckily for us we had our own toilet within our unit, but not able to shower and resort to washing at a sink was not acceptable. The number of showers and toilets are insufficient for the number of pitches. The use of the old squat toilet in this day and age is diabolical. During our stay 2 toilets in the male block were put of use and it was apparent that no one had been working on them. The owners of the site should demolish the existing blocks and install modern toilets and showers. The chemical waste point was a farce - a 3 inch pipe outside the locked disabled toilet which you had to unscew the cracked top and carefully pour the waste down it! The was a tap round the corner, but drain to empty the waste water when washing down the container. The camp was busy with mostly Bulgarians, whose personal hygiene standards were zero for many. We paid 48 Euros for 2 nights and wish we had never been in the first place

Nice and quiet place. Clean WC and bathrooms, a lot of space for tents. There is a mini market for food and beverages, kitchen, laundry room, tavern. It's perfect for family vacantion. The beach is clean and beautiful. The nearest big city is about 30 km far.

Pros - well organised camping with everything that you may need, Taverna, beach bar with free umbrellas, shop. Cons - Not as many trees on the side, so it's harder to find shade. Toilets are not as clean as you'd expect from Greece, there is no toilet paper or soap...

The staff was friendly and helpful. The camp itself is well organized and we'll kept. One was able to find shade and drinkable water every where. The beach was relatively big and super shallow, perfect for small children, although the sand was a bit muddy. Nice beach bar.The toilets were regularly cleaned and yet they looked and smelled a bit bad.Hot water was scarce, maybe because it was the end of the season. Everybody hat trouble with the WI Fi . Overall I'd say it was a very pleasant place.

There were a lot of frogs, which were even in the bathroom. In the bathroom less than half of the sinks were working, in the kitchen too. One of the two days there, there was no water in the kitchen and the laundry room.

Near to the beach. Very calm and cozy place. They have own beach with cocktail bar and free of charge sun umbrellas and sunbeds.

Peaceful place for a relaxed holiday. The owner and the staff of the camping are friendly and nice. Great place for kids, especially because of the beach. The Taverna next to the camping offers delicious food.

Nice campground and beach but the facilities are absolute mess. Dirty, ugly, low pressure hot water, only Turkish toilet.
