Enjoy a change of scenery at a campsite in the heart of the Little Camargue

Taking a camping holiday in the Camargue – a lively yet unspoilt area, full of passion and tradition in Occitania – is like travelling to an unknown land. You’ll be amazed by its never-ending vistas, by the diversity of the flora and fauna of the salt marshes and huge lagoons stretching away as far as they eye can see. Come and discover the exceptional variety of species that inhabit the unspoilt environment of the Camargue Regional Natural Park including pink flamingos, Camargue horses, birds and bulls. Taking in 73km of coastline from L'Espiguette to La Gracieuse, the park boasts a rich and varied marine habitat high in biodiversity and the chance to observe molluscs and shellfish, fish, turtles, dolphins and birds. Home to a number of endangered species, both plant and animal, it offers a fragile and truly spectacular landscape.

An area of stunning natural landscapes, characteristic villages and respect for ancestral tradition, the Camargue is the ideal destination for a camping holiday.

• A camping holiday is a great way to explore the the Camargue and try something really different:

• A safari in an open-topped 4x4 that will take you into the heart of the Camargue and give you the chance to experience some of its wonders for yourself: a herd of wild horses at full gallop, a flock of herons taking off from a lake shore or the bellowing of the bulls.
