Pitch

  • Peaceful Provence site in a pine forest near sandy beaches
  • The closest site to the Old Port of Marseille
  • Night walks, nature trips and donkey walks all available for guests
Base camp in Provence calling… And base camp for utterly magnif Marseille, less than half an hour away from this pine forest site: France's second biggest city and the largest on the Mediterranean coast is a place to roam for weeks for its famed and spectacular Old Port, splendid beaches and attractions for all tastes including art galleries, theatres and a couple of dozen museums. There should be no probs getting to all this cultured and sandy lot from Youcamp Village - Marseille Provence, as it's the closest Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur site to Marseille's port. Hail a ride from the bus stop to take you into the city, via a scenic route passing through Aubagne (stop off here at some point; it's also truly fab), and then on from Marseille to the seaside town of Cassis and the coastal and marine landscapes of the Calanques National Park. The Youcamp Village - Marseille Provence mission is to cater for peaceful stays in a preserved countryside environment, for guests to come back relaxedly back to after an energetic day around Marseille, Aubagne, the national park or the nearby beaches: both La Ciotat and Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer are within 25 to 30 minutes' drive. There's no hectic entertainment schedule here, just a quiet vibe, a few recreational sessions a week in July and August, and placid excursions such as night walks under the stars, nature-spotting trips, or walks with donkeys into the Provence countryside. An outdoor pool, games area and table tennis are around if you're up for getting (gently) active, and a riding centre for hacks and lessons is 800 metres from the site. Food markets are on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday mornings a couple of kilometres away in Aubagne, and the site also has its own bar/snack bar for convenient eats and drinks.

Liked La grande place pour mon camping car
La navette gratuite pour aller à la gare
La proximité avec Marseille : 2 arrêts de TER
La pizza de la buvette : pâte délicieuse
Superbe décoration côté buvette/restaurant
Le mode facilité pour l'inscription pour le pain du matin : en ligne en sus du cahier
La décoration de la piscine : tapis en faux gazon très agréable , transats familiaux
Le hamac public
L'agent de sécurité qui fait des rondes la nuit
L'aire de jeux pour enfants même si elle est trop exposée au soleil
Le professionnalisme des hôtesses
Une seconde piscine pour les familles

Disliked La propreté dans les douches : pourriez vous retirer les toiles d'araignée en même temps s'il vous plaît. Poser nos serviettes sur le porte manteau n'était pas très rassurant.
L'eau qui coule à partir de 19h sur le chemin pour se rendre à notre emplacement

Liked Welcoming staff, nice spacious car park on arrival, gate for security in the campsite, pitched right next to electricity, the pitch was spacious. Washroom facilities and showers were good. The restaurant was also great for what we wanted. We loved that there was an adults only pool! We look forward to our next stay.

Liked Good location and friendly staff. Showers were clean.

Disliked Pitch was literally overgrown. Was served a drink with dead flies in the glass. They were apologetic about the drink but wasn't the greatest experience.

Explore the old buildings and paths of the of Domaine de la Font de Mai 20 minutes' walk or a few minutes by car from the site, a 100-hectare estate at the foot of the massif. Activities run throughout the year, or you could use the estate as a starting point for local hikes or head off from here to Aubagne.
