Been here?
This campsite offers ACSI rates around €19–22 per night, with a pool, bread delivery at 8am, and water point access. It's on a bike route 15 minutes from Arles. However, motorhomers report poor pitch allocation—they're often directed to shaded areas near the railway. Watch for e-bike theft and note that recent reviews mention issues with lifeguard enforcement and slide management.

Decent campsite. The person responsible for turning on the water for the slides did not arrive until an hour after we asked for them to be switched on in the morning. It was the lifeguard, who, despite our complying with the regulations for using the pool, prohibited us from going down the slide wearing a shirt, without explanation. Beware of the bee hive next to the rubbish bins. A wasp stung me, and I reported it at reception.
We liked it very much, especially the friendly welcome. Somewhat out of the way and quiet, yet close to the city, which can easily be reached by bicycle in 15 minutes. Perfect for us. The pool right around the corner from our pitch could not have been better. Thanks again to the friendly man who let us leave until 1 a.m. R&R
The campsite itself is fairly nice. However, passing campers, even when shaded pitches are available, are sent to the far end near the railway, where the shade is an exaggeration since the plants are young. I asked the receptionist whether there was a cycle path to Arles, and she said no; in fact, there is one, not always marked, but it exists. Insufficient facilities for the number of pitches.
Beware of your e-bikes; they are stolen here. So lock everything securely! Otherwise, the site is very centrally located. The pool has not been filled yet!
Decent three-star campsite. Large pitches, €19 per night with ACSI. Fifteen minutes by bike from the Arles amphitheater. Clean campsite and friendly welcome. In my opinion, areas for improvement: the showers are unbearably hot (no child or anyone else can stand under them), dishwashing is with cold water, and there is no toilet seat. If they addressed these points, it would be four stars.
We almost did not come to this camping due to last comment saying they do not take campers. We did however come to check it out since the other camping was already closed at 18h. From the steet you actually do not see pitches, we came in to ask when the gate opened for us. So, the camping was welcoming, pitches nice, 31 € (3p), sanitary block french style :). Showers in outer covered area, but ok
They do not want motorhomes, only bungalows.
We stayed here for one night in mid-October to visit the city. The sanitary facilities were clean, but being outdoors, it was a little chilly at that time of year. The bakery and bus stop are 350 m away; bus line 3 goes to the center for €1.20. Price: €22. Deductions in the rating: despite many free pitches, there was no choice of pitch; train and road noise.
Rather small pitches, road clearly audible, sanitary facilities average. Good bus connection to the city, but the bus does not return after 7 p.m.
A very pleasant campsite, large pitches, sanitary facilities and laundry okay, easy emptying. Welcome okay. Bakery and butcher next door. Bus to visit Arles, a very beautiful city. Cycle path to the supermarket. The only drawback: be careful, cycling is not ideal.
We got a pitch without a reservation; the spaces are large enough, but the hedge is far too high, so there is no morning or evening sun at the end of September. Many cobwebs at standing height in the sanitary facilities; shower water was sparse and brief. Friendly staff.
Three stars are not justified. The pitches are well delimited, but not all have water and electricity (ours was 18 m away). The showers need maintenance. Only the proximity to the city center is noteworthy. Suitable for short stays.
Small and welcoming. The bathrooms and showers are under an open structure, fine in summer when it is warm, but already a little chilly in September. Very humid at night and strong sun during the day; a few more trees would help. Bus stop 5 minutes away on foot; the center can be reached in 20 minutes, or conveniently by bicycle.
Nice campsite. We had not booked despite the rice festival in Arles; the owner fitted us onto the pétanque court. We paid €41.44 for four adults for one night, all included.
I have never seen such a noisy campsite! Nobody enforces quiet hours. Groups of people talk very loudly until 1 a.m. Beautiful, well-maintained pool. Shaded pitches are very large. New and adequate sanitary facilities. €51 for two adults and two children with electricity. Warning: the expressway right next to it is as loud as a motorway.
We stayed here for two nights with two people in a camper with electricity and paid around €60. The pitches were very large and separated by hedges. Sanitary facilities were average. Advantage: large, well-maintained pool, slides, and children's pool. Disadvantages: mosquito alarm and very high humidity at night. Arles center is about 5 minutes away and is a very beautiful city.
Nice, clean, well-maintained campsite with a large pool equipped with slides for children. It was a technical stop, but spending one night there was very pleasant. The facilities are modern but not very clean; in the evening the showers are dark. Unfortunately, I do not think they carry out pest control, so mosquitoes and insects are numerous and hungry. €37, a reasonable price for August and a group of two adults and two children.
Very friendly welcome, spacious pitches with shade and bushes around them, providing good privacy. Nice pool and clean sanitary facilities. I noticed no bird problems in the showers or toilets. Shopping facilities 5 minutes away by bicycle. No lights at night in the sanitary facilities.
Beautiful, well-maintained campsite with a pool and water slides for children. The individual pitches are large and shaded. Family shower cabins are very thoughtfully designed. From a hygiene perspective, the infestation of the sanitary facilities by swallow families was an absolute no-go!
We stayed here for one night. Booked online the evening before. Very friendly welcome. Check-in was extremely quick. Beautiful, spacious pitch with enough shade. Clean sanitary facilities. Refreshing pool. It is true that boards stick up from the slide; lift your feet ;-). We would gladly return!
The pool floor is broken, with boards sticking up and nails exposed. It is not worth the money.
Good location for visiting Arles; facilities okay. They assigned us a pitch, and we asked to change to one with more shade. They refused, saying it was reserved; later we saw that this was not true, as many pitches were free. I had to go to reception three times before we were placed. At night the entire campsite was completely dark, with no light in the toilets, showers, sinks, etc. We paid for those services!
Campsite well located for visiting Arles, accessible by bus or bicycle; see the review about the nighttime return by €15 Uber. Recent and clean sanitary facilities, warm welcome.
We made a one-night stop. Helpful and friendly welcome. Sanitary facilities available with hot water. Shaded pitch, more than adequate for our short stay. The pool was accessible until 7 p.m., but we did not try it. Do not hesitate if you are in the area.
Pretty, well-maintained campsite with a friendly welcome. Located 3.5 km from Arles city center, reachable by bicycle or bus.
The site looks run-down. They assign pitches that cannot be reached with a 6 m van. In addition, the turning radii are further restricted by boulders. Sanitary facilities unsuitable for October.
I have read some mediocre reviews. I do not agree with them. Friendly welcome and neat facilities. It can always be better and prettier, but one or two stars is completely unjustified.
Three stars undeserved. Small, dirty studio; you cannot clean with dirty equipment. Coffee maker broken. Shower tray drain broken. Very noisy due to the train, ring road, and neighbors chatting until late at night. Hooray!!!!!
