The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Campsite on the Barthelasse island with direct views of the Papal Palace and Avignon Bridge. Easy city access on foot (20-25 min) or via free river shuttle. Spacious, shaded pitches. Pool, bakery, basic facilities. Major recurring issue: aging sanitary blocks, inconsistent hot water, insufficient cleaning. Unreliable WiFi. Poor value-for-money in peak season.
Highlights
- Exceptional location for exploring Avignon (free river shuttle, 20-25 min walk)
- Spacious, well-shaded pitches with views of local landmarks
- Friendly welcome from the staff
- Pool is functional and pleasant
Good to know
- Outdated, poorly maintained facilities with inadequate and irregular cleaning
- Hot water very unstable (often cold or lukewarm), faulty taps
- WiFi unreliable
- High price in peak season compared to the quality
Motorhome access : Access for campervans. Spacious spots with designated parking. Caution: some areas become muddy after rain. A few raised curbs to cross. Check height clearance at the entrance.
