Monaco on a budget?

[Gillet]

I'm planning a roadtrip for me and some mates later in the year, one of our destinations being Monaco, but we're doing it on a shoestring.

We've basically ruled out staying in Monaco itself, but does anyone know of anywhere near Monaco that has cabbins, chalets, camp sites etc? have been searching on the net, and there must be something but i haven't found it yet.

any help appreciated, cheers.

Cheers Tinman, took me a while to work out the YHM, initially all i could find on Google for that was Yankee Hill Machine Company, Inc - that doesn't make any sense, but i worked it out in the end . will have a look at that place, thanks.

Liking your StreetSafari thing, good idea....

Have just find this aswell incase it helps anyone in the future....campsite 8km from Monaco.

Very nice place and great location with an amazing view over Monaco. Stayed there a couple of years back. 75 Euros a night which isnt bad.

We did a similar thing in the summer, but we stayed in a Campsite near the beach at Antibes. If you want any roadtrip tips on travelling to Monte Carlo on a shoestring, 9 of us did it for £1,000 each including fuel, accomodation and spending money! There is a 6 page write up on it in November's Totalkitcar magazine, including notes on good Alpine passes and MonteCarlo rally stages to take in, including the Stelvio Pass and Col du Turini.

I`ve stayed here a couple of times in the past http://www.campdupylone.com/
Biot, between Antibes and Nice. Excellent facilities and not expensive either.

cheers guys for all the advice, will have to find that article, definately doing it on a shoestring, there's no other way to travel, who needs 5* hotels when there's a perfectly good tent in the boot.

Me and a mate stayed in an apartement in the centre around early July. Managed to get it 130ish a night IIRC. Ill see if I can dig out the name. It would sleep 3.

Thats v cheap for Monaco.

Been a few times, last year we stayed in Nice at the aparthotel Citadines. It is a self catering place, right in the middle of Nice with a secure underground car park. Cheap for Nice, maybe 100 euros a night for the room. Google and you'll find it easily...
