Camping Lou Vincen

Bring your rod if you fancy a bit of fishing, and take your pick from spots along the Rhône river, the canal and the nearby Vallabrègues lake. Site staff can also advise on walking routes nearby, and point you in the direction of canoe hire if you’d like to paddle part of the river. Further scenic strolls, hikes and bike rides can be had within a 40-minute drive in the limestone mountains of the Alpilles Regional Natural Park or the wetlands of the Camargue Regional Natural Park (keep your eyes peeled for the famed flamingoes and wild horses). For more watery days out, it’ll take you just over an hour to reach the coast or half an hour to hit Splashworld waterpark. A bit of town time is highly recommended, too – Avignon is a 20-minute drive away, and Uzès, Nîmes and Arles are all less than an hour away for days spent wandering around medieval streets, visiting Roman sites and feasting on local treats.
