Lower your expectations
What can be said that hasn’t already been said in the 1 and 3 star reviews? Read on and lower your expectations before entering. As a stopover to visit Avignon, the site is well positioned, sitting just across the river from the ramparts. The old plane trees on the grounds provide excellent shade during hotter weather, which is one of the few highlights. The staff are friendly which is always a good welcome. The drinking water points, however, are few and far between—you're better off filling up in the sanitair (bathroom facilities). Speaking of which, the sanitair shows heavy wear and tear. The owners proudly embrace an "old-style" motto, which seems to be a convenient excuse for not investing a single euro in updates, despite the steady flow of tourist money. Yes, the facilities are cleaned—but it still feels and looks grungy, maybe that's because they simply face an impossible task: trying to clean around broken tiles, gaping grout lines, and outdated, poorly fitted fixtures. The owner claims the sanitair is "well maintained"—which might be true, if by "maintained" they mean "kept functional through constant patchwork." It's a real shame. With such a prime location, this campsite could be outstanding. Instead, it feels like a cash grab with zero reinvestment or respect for paying guests. There's another campsite just up the road—I suggest you go there instead.
