Camping L' Arlesienne

The pool was open, though very cold, and many of the loungers were old and torn. Watch out for strong gusts when it's windy, especially if you haven't accounted for them with your awning or windows. The site itself was quiet, with good sized pitches and friendly, helpful reception staff. You can order bread, but there's no shop on site, though local shops are an easy ten-minute walk away. The washing machine costs €5 and there's no dryer. The toilet block was very basic: no toilet seats or paper, and part of it was open to the elements. It felt typically French but badly outdated.

Arles is well worth visiting for its extensive old town, and the town seems to be prospering. I paid €99 for five nights with my motorhome, electricity, and just myself. The owners were polite and professional, and my pitch was private. The site was nicely maintained. Cycling to Arles is possible, but the route is circuitous if you want to avoid a stretch of busy road. Getting to a supermarket is circuitous too.

A decent campsite in a good spot, close to a bakery and a bus stop. It's suited to campers, though a little way from the city center. Keep in mind the bus service ends around 7pm.

The pool is really nice, and the bar is cute. The place seems new and the staff are friendly, but the showers almost never had hot water, and the toilets had no seats. There was no toilet paper or soap anywhere, which you'd expect at a three-star campsite. Be ready for mosquitoes, though that's an issue all over this area.
