Camping Saint Gabriel

Camping Saint Gabriel, located in Tarascon in the heart of Provence, offers a charming and welcoming setting at the gateway to the Alpilles. Set on the grounds of a former coaching inn, the campsite combines authentic character with modern comfort, making it an appealing choice for travelers seeking a relaxed camping experience in southern France. The site features spacious pitches ranging from approximately 80 to 130 m², suitable for tents, caravans, and motorhomes, as well as fully equipped mobile homes for those who prefer extra comfort.

Designed as a family-friendly campsite, the atmosphere is peaceful and convivial, surrounded by the typical Provençal landscape where the sound of cicadas accompanies your stay. At the heart of the property, a heated outdoor swimming pool (16 x 7 meters) is open during the warmer months, complete with sun loungers and parasols for relaxation. A separate paddling pool ensures younger guests can enjoy the water safely.

Facilities are well thought out to enhance your stay, including a restaurant serving local specialties, a small grocery shop for essentials, and free Wi-Fi access. For leisure, guests can enjoy a playground, a bouncy castle for children, and activities such as table tennis, pétanque, table football, and billiards. The campsite also offers a motorhome service area, sanitary facilities, and breakfast options on the restaurant terrace.

Entertainment is part of the experience, with regular events such as karaoke nights, live music, and themed dinners. Whether you are staying on a pitch or in a mobile home, Camping Saint Gabriel provides a comfortable base for exploring Provence while enjoying a relaxed, social holiday environment.

Camping Saint Gabriel is ideally positioned between the Alpilles and the Camargue, making it a perfect starting point for discovering some of southern France’s most iconic landscapes and cultural sites. The nearby village of Fontvieille is just a few minutes’ drive away, offering local shops, cafés, and restaurants. The historic town of Tarascon, also close by, provides additional dining options, markets, and essential services.

Within approximately 10 to 20 minutes by car, you can reach Les Baux-de-Provence and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, both renowned for their heritage, charming streets, and scenic surroundings. The city of Arles, known for its Roman monuments and cultural events, is also within easy reach, while Nîmes, with its famous arena, lies a bit further but still accessible for a day trip.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Alpilles Regional Natural Park, where hiking and cycling routes are plentiful. The Camargue Regional Natural Park, around 30 to 40 minutes away, offers a completely different landscape of wetlands, wild horses, and birdlife. For water-based activities such as kayaking or paddleboarding, the Pont du Gard area is also within driving distance.

Local markets, vineyards, and Provençal villages surround the campsite, ensuring there is always something to explore, taste, and experience nearby.

Before arriving at Camping Saint Gabriel, it is helpful to plan your stay according to the season, as some facilities—such as the swimming pool—are open from late April to the end of September. During peak summer months, the campsite becomes livelier with regular entertainment and events, while the low season offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.

The campsite welcomes different types of travelers, including families, couples, and motorhome enthusiasts. Pets are allowed, making it a convenient option for those traveling with animals. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during the high season, to secure your preferred pitch or mobile home.

On-site amenities such as the restaurant, grocery shop, and activity areas make daily life easy, but having a car is advisable for exploring the surrounding region, visiting nearby towns, and accessing larger supermarkets or additional services. Breakfast can be enjoyed on-site, and dining at the restaurant is a good way to experience local Provençal cuisine without leaving the campsite.

For motorhome travelers, dedicated service areas are available, and the spacious pitches make maneuvering and parking straightforward. The campsite’s friendly, family-oriented atmosphere means staff are generally available to assist with local recommendations and practical information.

Whether you plan to relax by the pool, join in evening entertainment, or explore the cultural and natural highlights of Provence, Camping Saint Gabriel offers a well-balanced base for a memorable stay.
