Camping Porte des Alpilles

Marquise at the front, moorea at the back

Peaceful site in Saint-Etienne-du-Grès, a 25-minute drive from Arles
Alpilles Natural Regional Park five minutes’ drive; Nîmes 40 minutes
Bar and ice-cream kiosk; food shop; playground; shaded pétanque courts

A relaxing holiday in the south of France might be your original plan when you book a spot at Camping Porte des Alpilles, a peaceful, family-friendly site on the outskirts of the Provençal village of Saint-Etienne-du-Grès (five minutes’ drive or a 15-minute walk). However, when you see the numerous natural, historic and architectural highlights in the area, relaxing could become the last thing on your mind, as you draw up plans to go on epic hikes in the Alpilles Natural Regional Park (five minutes); catch a glimpse of wildlife in the Camargue Regional Nature Park (25 minutes); or visit the cities of Arles (25 minutes), Avignon (half an hour) or Nîmes (40 minutes). Of course, if you’re determined to do as little as possible while on holiday, this is also a pretty sweet spot, with pitches shaded by tall trees (the rustling of the leaves conducive to afternoon siestas), a communal barbecue area with plenty of picnic tables, a bar and an ice-cream kiosk. You don’t even have to venture out of the gate to buy a little something for your friends back home – there’s a souvenir store and a small food shop on site (you can also rent a fridge for any perishable purchases). Leisure facilities include shaded pétanque courts and a sheltered games area with a dartboard, table football and a small library, plus a children’s playground with swings and slides. The toilet block has facilities for the disabled, and there’s also a launderette with drying racks and ironing boards to borrow.

Lita K. Nov 2024

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The girl at the desk was very friendly and really helpful. The pitch was good, nice and level, and we picked one close to the shower block. Facilities, showers and toilets, were clean and well looked after.

Disliked: Same issue with cold showers, as seen in other reviews. Push button to make the showers work really didn't stay on long enough. We were visiting Avignon, so this location was too far out as no buses ran directly there, which was disappointing.

Liked: Very well run site by dedicated young couple. Small but has good facilities. Loo blocks and showers kept clean. Great location for amazing Provençal towns and beaches. Good walking cycling shopping and eating

Disliked: The mistral is quite blowy but the campsite reasonably sheltered with trees.

Local attractions

Although Vincent van Gogh spent only about a year in Arles, he is inextricably linked with this pretty city on the Rhône river. The Van Gogh Route takes you to the main sights painted by the artist, from Place du Forum (site of his ‘Café Terrace at Night’) to the amphitheatre, which he depicted in ‘Arena at Arles’. The Palais des Papes in Avignon, a fortified Gothic palace where seven popes resided in the 14th century, has elegant chapels decorated with frescoes and pretty restored gardens with fountains. The Jardin des Doms is a hilltop park with an observation deck overlooking the Rhône. The Roman heritage of Nîmes is still visible in the Maison Carrée temple and the well-preserved amphitheatre, which instead of gladiatorial games now hosts live concerts. Spectacular Roman mosaics can be seen in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, alongside a collection of paintings, sculpture and decorative arts.
