Route de Fielouse À Sambuc, 13200, Arles
Been here?
Very small wild spot in nature accommodating 2–3 campervans, with a raised viewpoint overlooking wetland fauna and flora. Access road is rough with potholes; a puddle at the entrance is seasonal. Peaceful at night with frog and bird sounds, but mosquitoes are prolific May–August (bring repellent). Campsite etiquette issues have been noted; recent visitors confirm it fills quickly and can get crowded.

A great many mosquitoes!!! It is not a large parking area; there is room for one motorhome at most.Translating
Very busy. I had to drive on because the place was so full that campers were parked on the road in front. I saw about 10 vehicles.Translating
Pick up your rubbish!!! (Hunters, we can see you leaving your rubbish dump behind, grrr.) Otherwise, very chill and very quiet; cats are welcome!Translating
Nice pitch, the elevated viewpoint was operational—great!!! However, there was indeed quite a lot of miscellaneous debris (bins, etc.). The puddle at the entrance was almost empty at the end of August.Translating
Just before the large parking area, a quiet spot not far from the sea. Access road with lots of bumps and potholes. Beware of mosquitoes in the evening.Translating
Finally, a place truly surrounded by nature with no one overlooking us!!! We had a wonderful night sleeping under the stars. Not too many mosquitoes because it is a little way from the water. Just the sounds of nature...Translating
Great spot, we really enjoyed it, close to a road with a few cars passing. A few mosquitoes, so bring repellent. The observatory offers a beautiful view of the fauna and flora, and the sunrise and sunset are incredible.Translating
Very pretty place. What a shame there are so many mosquitoes...Translating
Watch out for the puddle at the entrance, but it’s passable. Lots of mosquitoes at sunset. Very quiet night. Room for two or three vans.Translating
Very beautiful place!!! Easy to access despite a large puddle at the entrance. Fell asleep and woke up to the sound of frogs, with views of flamingos, horses,.... A gem of nature!Translating
Magnificent place!!! If only people respected nature and the infrastructure provided... Food scraps, packaging and excrement... We immediately moved elsewhere!Translating
It’s a mostly peaceful spot with a chorus of frogs to send you to sleep. We were unlucky and had 3 vans join us late on making noise until 2am. It’s a shame people disrespect places like this by leaving poo and toilet paper around though.
Good spot! Quiet, with beautiful nature all around. The tower has been badly vandalised and is currently impossible to access.Translating
Very good spot! The road alongside is used very, very little (at least at the end of March). It is beautiful and quiet! I recommend bringing earplugs for the frogs and mosquito repellent; otherwise, nothing to complain about :)Translating
It was beautiful and idyllic. We had no mosquitoes at that time. The place was more or less clean and tidy. Please keep it that way! The viewpoint was sawn through, presumably because of many badly behaved visitors, and can no longer be accessed. Completely silent night.Translating
Indeed very quiet: we were alone there for the night and there was not a sound. But very dirty, not extraordinarily beautiful and infested with mosquitoes!!Translating
