Spacious pitches with direct access to water and electricity. Very friendly staff. The sanitary facilities were always clean, unfortunately there were too few showers. We had no problems with mosquitoes, but you should still bring mosquito spray. The only drawback: Wi-Fi is very unstable. We had to log in up to five times a day, or the reception was extremely poor. Unacceptable for a four-star site.
Beautiful campsite with a pool. We stayed there for two nights at the end of June. €37/day. Very friendly reception, clean sanitary facilities. To shower, you receive a wristband to start the shower, with 10 minutes each. We did not like the beach, with its artificial swimming coves. But that is a matter of taste and does not affect the rating. A nearby town with many restaurants and shops is only about 2 km away. Very quiet at night.
A few meters from the sea and a few minutes from the very beautiful town center. Good facilities and clean, friendly staff, and a lovely pool. I would definitely return. For the mosquitoes, repellent is sufficient.
Beautiful campsite with a large pool complex and a separate adults-only pool. BIG DISADVANTAGE: lots of dogs. The owners let their dogs defecate everywhere and do not clean it up. During our three-night stay, we found dog mess on our pitch twice. It would also be nice if part of the beach were dog-free, as not everyone likes dogs.
Very well maintained, some shade. Well done. A little expensive.
Generally, the site has everything you need. However, there are not enough shaded pitches. The mosquitoes were unbearable for us too.
We stayed here for one night. The campsite itself is fine. It has direct access to the sea, and the pool and sanitary facilities are okay. The problem is its proximity to the Rhône. During our stay there was a massive mosquito problem. It was unbearable. We left again the next day. A real shame.
I cannot understand the negative comments, and people should really know that there are mosquitoes in the Camargue in May. Lovely site, very well maintained, exceptionally clean sanitary facilities. The beach is just two minutes away. The water quality is excellent and it slopes gently, which is surely important for families with children. Negative: groups of Harley riders around 70 years old.
If I could, I would give it minus five points. Why put yourself through this?! Arrogant, unfriendly staff, nothing but mosquitoes. The site is genuinely neglected.
During our stay of three nights, there were hardly any mosquitoes. Friendliness and service were very good. The heated pool at 26°C is very pleasant when the weather alternates between cloudy skies, 20°C outside temperatures, and strong wind. The beach is clean and suitable for toddlers. With ACSII, we currently paid €28.80 per night for a camper and two adults.
A somewhat over-administered campsite with identification wristbands and shower wristbands at a fairly high price—€40 for two people with a dog and a van. In return, there are nice walks along the beach. Sanitary facilities okay.
Good campsite, fairly large unpowered pitch, toilets and showers in good condition. €26 for one night.
Comfortable campsite. Already too large and too much entertainment for us. Clean.
Great campsite where we spent one night; reasonable price, clean, and quiet.
Top campsite, the price is okay, including at the restaurant; a baguette costs €1.30, which is normal. For everyone who is always complaining about prices: the price includes infrastructure maintenance, the swimming pool, staff costs, water at the pitch, electricity, toilet and gray-water disposal, and refill water.
Nice campsite with good facilities, but unfortunately not many hedges or shaded areas. Infested with mosquitoes, though they cannot do anything about that. Nice pool, but the background music needs reconsideration, almost like a rave party, and the bar and grocery prices are exorbitant.
We stayed for five days in a motorhome and have nothing to complain about compared with some comments. On the contrary: good campsite, beautiful pitches, friendly staff, spotless sanitary facilities; the shower temperature was just a little low. Heated pool, everything good. Yes, there are mosquitoes, but that is how it is. Close to the town.
Basically a very nice site, great warm pool, beautiful pitches, but an incredible number of MOSQUITOES! It was too much for us with a baby, so we left after one night.
Reasonable size, good services, and high-quality equipment in good condition. Beautiful, well-maintained, well-equipped pitches, but somewhat lacking shade. The restaurant, bar, and mini-market are very expensive; Wi-Fi is unreliable, with little mobile coverage. Sanitary facilities and showers are very clean. Beautiful heated pools. Excellent showers with water-saving controls.
For us, the worst campsite so far. We booked two days but left again after the first night. Toilets not clean, showers cold, water runs for five seconds and you have to keep pressing the button. Pitches are not properly mowed, and the electricity kept cutting out.
A campsite that does the job. Nothing to complain about. Close to Les Saintes-Maries.
Good site. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff. Direct access to the sea. Gladly again.
Lovely campsite on the beach / about a mile to walk into town along the cycle path. Great location to go out to the marshes / lots of flamingos to see . Local town lots of shops and cafes - will be back for longer . Showers take a bit of working out but once sorted all good
A campsite directly by the sea with heated pools! Every morning there were fresh, delicious baked goods, and it took five minutes by bicycle to reach the town. The beach was always clean, and the shower time provided by the wristbands was entirely sufficient. However, the sanitary facilities could use a thorough cleaning. We had a lovely, relaxing time.
Decent pitch with a veranda. Large, clean sanitary facilities; yes, it does smell a little of urine because there are occasional leaks. Wonderful nearby beaches, and dogs are allowed. Yes, I recommend it for a stay, except in July and August.
The three stars are because the beach fell far short of our expectations. The site is okay, pitches are large, the shop is friendly, and the shower area of the sanitary facilities is as clean as on all the other sites here in the south. Many pitches also have water, wastewater, and electricity. Nice pool area, unfortunately with only one exit to the pebble beach. For families with children, this might even be an advantage.
Large, clean, modern campsite with a shop, restaurant, heated pool, sea access, and beautiful quiet pitches. We paid €21 per night for two people in a van without electricity, with no prior reservation. Very fair!
Beautiful, quiet, and very well organized, directly by the sea. Just outside there is a cycle path that takes you to the center in a few minutes. Beautiful sea, and a pool with slides that is great for children, plus a relaxing adults-only pool area. Well designed for everyone. Showers with wristbands allow plenty of time, three sessions per day. At this time we spent €50 per day for two adults and two children. Ideal for the sea and excursions.
