Pozitivno
Clean sanitary facilities, pleasant atmosphere, very 'French', large and clean pool, good WLAN, very good starting point for excursions to Provence, Camargue and Aix-en-Provence
Negativno
Toilets for northern Europeans a bit tight on the knees, direct and closer surroundings of the place not really nice, swimming in the sea or in the Etang is no fun because of the beaches and the environment.
Quiet and relaxed place with pool
We stayed at the campsite for just under a week and had plenty of space due to the low season (end of June beginning of July).

The campsite served us as a base for hiking excursions in Provence, which worked very well. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is not really beautiful due to a lot of industry,... but you can get to Aix-en-Provence or the mountains very quickly.

When choosing a pitch, you should pay a little attention to wind protection (there are various solid bamboo trees as protection), as the mistral blows quite strongly at times.

You can buy a few basics at the reception, otherwise the 'Superette' is within walking distance and offers everything you need outside of bulk shopping. We didn't use the bar on the pitch.

The access from the road is very inconspicuous. It goes between 2 border walls onto a gravel path, which is only marked with a small sign. So keep your eyes open here for the last few meters, as it gets very narrow behind it and turning is difficult.

We liked the place because it exudes a typically French serenity.

Quiet and spacious place at Etang le Berre
The site is very spacious and also has correspondingly large pitches. Due to the planting, everything looks very natural and spacious. In addition, the site is not disfigured by umpteen mobile homes, i.e. pure "camper feeling"! The sanitary facilities are clean and were available in sufficient numbers... at our time (the toilets may be a little too small for some people). The quiet site offers a wide range of sporting activities (including kayaking and SUP); see the Internet for details. In addition, an information event is held every Monday to provide information about the extensive possibilities in the surrounding area. It should be noted that I have rarely had a campsite that was so centrally located for excursions (Marseille, Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Carmargue, etc.). However, you should wear sturdy shoes for the advertised hiking trail along the Cotè Bleu. The area offers little in the way of cycling. Although the airport near Marseille was always present, we never found it disturbing, rather the nightly yapping/barking/howling of the countless dogs in the neighborhood. The saltwater lake "Etang le Berre", which is very clean and offers small bathing areas, is just a few steps away from the campsite. The campsite is rather mediocre in culinary terms. However, you can buy chilled drinks, including the excellent wine. For shopping you have to go to nearby Istres or Martigues. There, however, nothing is left to be desired. The family-run campsite, where the manager speaks German, impressed me so much that we stayed for 10 days (which is a long time for me), despite the minor shortcomings. TIP: Moroccan restaurant in Istres!

Nice quiet place to relax with everything you need
We've now been there twice in a row (2015 and 2016) and will definitely be going again. Unfortunately it won't work out this year. The site is very spacious, the sanitary facilities are immaculate and always clean. We haven't tested the pool yet, but we did test the archery target at the back left! Archery... right on the pitch is very convenient for us. The owners and staff are always friendly and in a good mood. German is spoken very well. We always got on well with our mishmash of German, French and English, even in the surrounding area and in all the stores. In August, we recommend the fish supper and the ice-cold rosé on the beach promenade in Port-de-Bouc. Tip for the journey: Don't take the first option from Martigues! Narrow road and sharp, blind bends! The second option is much more convenient.

Great vacation on a feel-good campsite
The "Ideal for..." section could be marked with many more points, but unfortunately only five are possible. Absolutely great location for excursions. Many interesting towns in the surrounding area such as Marseille, Martigues, Istres, Aix-en-Provence, Salon-de-Provence, Arles, ... charming (fishing)... villages as you would imagine them to be in Provence. The archaeological site of St Blaise (very interesting) is only a few kilometers away, and the Camargue and the Calangques are also within easy reach. We had our two 50cc scooters with us and were always able to reach these destinations easily on a day trip. There are daily markets in the area. We received a very friendly welcome at the campsite from the owners and felt immediately at home. In addition to French, of course, German and English are also spoken. There is a four-page leaflet with useful tips about the campsite and the surrounding area. The campsite has direct access to the Etang de Berre. The pitches are generously sized. Our caravan is 7.30m long. It was no problem to accommodate it with an awning, car and two scooters. But there are also smaller pitches, depending on your needs. The sanitary facilities are airy, which we always find very pleasant. And very importantly, everything is cleaned thoroughly. The operators offer hot meals every evening and you can order various baked goods for breakfast. There is also a small store. The campsite has a pool and a smaller, shallow pool for children. There is also a small playground, table tennis table and football pitch. In addition to pitches for campers, mobile homes and tent lodges are also available. The campsite is suitable for anyone who doesn't need round-the-clock entertainment. We stayed in the low season (the last two weeks of May) and paid just over €20 per night. So really a tip-top price-performance ratio. The operators have always been helpful and friendly to us and we certainly want to come back. To you campers who are still looking: We can highly recommend this site!

The many mussel shells on the beach and the non-existent sandy beach. Otherwise TOP
A place to rest or as a base camp for tours
The new operators are very ambitious and always friendly and very service-oriented. The sanitary facilities correspond to the regional standard, are very well maintained and technically top. An (unheated) pool is regularly maintained and the water quality is checked daily. A very spacious area promises... peace and quiet to relax and unwind. On site there is fresh bread every day and also good meals a la carte (pizza, salads, meat, etc.) I am not a campsite friend, but I liked it here so much that we have extended zewi days.
