Campsite Bouches-du-Rhône

Bouches-du-Rhône is a department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. With nearly 2 million residents, it is the third most populous department in France, after Nord and Paris. Bouches-du-Rhône enjoys a Mediterranean climate, meaning that winters are relatively mild and very little precipitation falls in the department during the summer months. What makes this department unique is, of course, the Mistral. This wind blows nearly 100 days a year across the department, and its gusts can reach over 100 km/h!

What’s there to see in the 13?

During your stay at our Clos du Rhône campground, there are several must-see attractions. First and foremost, there are many unmissable sites in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, notably Montagne Sainte-Victoire. This mountain, located just a few kilometers from Aix-en-Provence, has inspired many artists, including Paul Cézanne. Its numerous trails—and especially its summit, which rises over 1,000 meters—will offer you magnificent photo opportunities! You can also visit the Calanques. This is a unique site in Europe and particularly well-preserved; the wild Calanques are easily accessible from Marseille, running along the Mediterranean coast for about twenty kilometers and stretching between Marseille and Cassis. For nature lovers, it’s also impossible to visit the Bouches-du-Rhône without making a detour to the Camargue Nature Park. It’s a simply magnificent place where wild horses and bulls live side by side. For an afternoon, for example, you can ride alongside them on your own horse. The Camargue is unique in that it is the largest marshland area in Europe, where many animal species live in complete freedom. Keep in mind that horses are almost considered sacred animals in the Camargue—they are the guardians of this land! Finally, there are a number of castles to visit in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, notably the Château des Baux-de-Provence, an ancient fortress that welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors each year. The Château du Roi René is also worth a visit, as it is considered one of the most beautiful medieval castles in France! Finally, off the coast of Marseille, you can admire the Château d’If. In fact, Marseille will be a must-see destination during your camping trip in the Bouches-du-Rhône. As France’s second-largest city, it boasts an exceptional architectural and historical heritage! Marseille is home to many famous sites, such as the Notre-Dame de la Garde Church, the Old Port, and the Vieille Charité. Two other cities are also sure to catch your attention: Aix-en-Provence, the historic capital of Provence, and Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In fact, Arles is nicknamed the “Little Rome of Gaul,” with nearly 65 hectares of Roman-era buildings on display there.
