  • Wooded site directly opposite Avignon on the island of Barthelasse
  • Wine tasting tours around the vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône
  • Free ferry shuttle over to Avignon, plus bike rental for city tours
How does one fancy regular riverboat cruises to the French theatre capital, plus the addition of a scenic setting opposite the UNESCO-listed Palais des Papes, easy access to all the sights of medieval Avignon. Good news, because Camping du Pont d'Avignon has all of the above and a good bit more. Set across a wooded estate of almost eight hectares, this site is minutes from the city centre on the island of Barthelasse, and operates a regular free ferry shuttle directly over to Avignon city centre. Alternatively, rent a bike on site for gentle pedals around Avignon's Old Town. The playground, paddling pool and kids' club activities like face painting and fun outdoor games should keep the tiddlers amused, while grown ups spend their days luxuriating around the roomy sun terrace that frames the large outdoor pool (open May through to September). Yet more leisure time on site can be filled with games of ping pong, tennis and volleyball, plus no French site would be complete without a pétanque court… Food and drink is sorted at the bar-restaurant and grocery store, and the restaurants of Avignon are within easy reach for when you fancy sampling the city's fine cuisine.

What customers say

Great spot for Avignon! Guests love the easy city access (walk/free ferry), spacious/shaded pitches, and clean facilities. The pool is a hit. Friendly staff noted, but busy check-in, older facilities, and noise sometimes mentioned. Shop/restaurant reviews were mixed.

Peter & Simone E.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Very nicely positioned to get into Avignon on foot or by bicycle very quickly. Pitch quite tight but well screened. Didn't try the snack bar so no comment. Reception staff absolutely brilliant, very friendly and helpful Taxis available.

Disliked Thought the Toilet/Shower blocks, though clean, in need of a re-furbishment to more modern standards.

Disliked Extreme weather.site waterlogged from rain..like driving a boat around site. Advised they would ring on phone if river was about to flood...you are on an island on the Rhone, itself a beautiful and handy setting but not for this weather.
No refund..pre paid via pitch up

Liked Professional and polite staff. Relatively cosy in spite of the huge size.
The proximity to downtown Avignon makes it a real good site. Especially in the post season.

Liked Location, staff and facilities

Disliked How quickly the site flooded. I was on a boat trip when I got a call to urgently move my caravan because of a flood. It had only been raining a few hours. I couldn’t get back to the van until 8pm and by that time my pitch was a quagmire. I’m on my own and 70 but had to move the van in the pitch dark. Everything including me was covered in mud. A really awful experience. They shouldn’t let the pitches that flood so quickly especially as the rain was forecast days before.

Local attractions

Right across the river is the UNESCO-listed ancient Old Town of Avignon, filled with well-preserved medieval ramparts, the famed palatial papal home Palais des Papes, Pont d’Avignon, and the 12th-century cathedral Notre Dame des Doms. Also around these parts are Côtes du Rhône vineyards: take a wine-tasting tour and learn how vintners cultivate their crops and concoct their quaffable vins; or for a less boozy intro to the area, just take a bike and cycle around these scenic lands through many a pretty Provençal village. Horse riding and hiking in the Cévennes mountains are within easy reach too, as are La Ferme aux Crocodiles reptile farm and Barben Zoo, both around 70 kilometres from the site in opposite directions.
