Small camp ok for a quick stopover with friendly staff.

Fully-serviced grass site (comfort)
Liked Wir hatten das Vergnügen, in einem äußerst einladenden Ort zu verweilen, dessen Personal überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit waren. Sie standen schnell und unkompliziert für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Dank eines wertvollen Tipps haben wir in der nahegelegenen Pizzeria "La Casa TOTO" einen traumhaften Abend verbracht. Die großen Baguettes, die wir uns am Vorabend bestellt hatten, waren einfach köstlich und das zu einem unschlagbaren Preis von nur 1,60 €, den wir nur aus längst vergangenen Zeiten kannten.
Das Waschhaus und die Toiletten könnten zwar eine Auffrischung gebrauchen, doch abgesehen von einem Waschbecken funktionierte alles einwandfrei. Für längere Aufenthalte würden wir uns bei Temperaturen von 37° Grad ein Schwimmbad oder Schwimmbecken wünschen. Ansonsten lädt die Umgebung hervorragend zum Wandern und Erkunden ein, und auch das Sightseeing in der Region ist gut möglich. Insgesamt war es ein schöner Aufenthalt, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen!
Disliked Wir hatten während unseres Aufenthalts im Nu zig Mückenstiche durch die Hecken und Bäume. Das soll keineswegs eine Kritik sein, sondern vielmehr eine freundliche Erinnerung, Mückenspray mitzunehmen, um das Erlebnis angenehmer zu gestalten.
Außerdem möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass der Minimarkt nicht direkt am Platz ist, sondern in etwa 10 Minuten Fußweg zu erreichen ist. Dies könnte für einige Gäste etwas unpraktisch sein.
Site is quite basic

Excellent site
Unpowered grass site
Liked Loved every thing about this site. The pitch was very private, in its own enclosure with hedges all around. The bathrooms were in immaculate condition. Very quiet area. We left very early and didn’t look around and didn’t need to drain our gray water etc. We didn’t check if there was any. Also, very reasonable price site
Excellent site for a longer stay
Fully-serviced grass site (comfort)
Liked Friendly welcome to well kept site. Able to choose pitch best suited to our unit and needs. Short walk to small town with a selection of food shops and a cafe. Easy to get cities for sightseeing and into the Alpilles for scenery and historic towns and villages. Wi-Fi excellent and free.

Liked Petit camping bien géré. Bien situé pour découvrir les Alpilles et aussi Arles. Il y a beaucoup de choses à voir. Les toilettes et les douches étaient très propres et il y avait suffisamment d'eau chaude.

Fully-serviced grass site (comfort)
Liked A beautiful setting, perfectly located to explore the area. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well-maintained.
Disliked There was no clothes dryer, but we had warm weather, so it wasn't a problem.
It's a nice site but not if you intend to use public transport
Unpowered grass site
Liked The girl at the desk was very friendly and really helpful. The pitch was good, nice and level, and we picked one close to the shower block. Facilities, showers and toilets, were clean and well looked after.
Disliked Same issue with cold showers, as seen in other reviews. Push button to make the showers work really didn't stay on long enough. We were visiting Avignon, so this location was too far out as no buses ran directly there, which was disappointing.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Availability of late check in (very useful), handy location (and proximity to gorgeous Baux de Provence), friendly lady in reception. Bar looked like it would be great in high season.
Disliked Water in showers could be warmer.
