Summary created out of 245 reviews

Park 1848 is beautifully situated in the Alpilles, with views of rocky cliffs and a nearby lake, offering a quiet, wooded setting with plenty of shade. Guests particularly praise the friendly, welcoming staff who are always smiling and helpful. The heated swimming pool is spacious and beautifully positioned with mountain views, while the restaurant serves delicious pizzas and good cocktails. Sanitary facilities are clean and modern, and the generous pitches are well-marked. Downsides include weak wifi and mobile signal in the valley, limited activities for teenagers, and some overdue maintenance of the grounds.

    Pros:
    - Beautiful location, surrounded by nature. Very pleasant.
    - Well-equipped campground.
    - Friendly staff.

    Cons:
    - Very difficult access to the upper part of the campground. Roads are in very poor condition with huge potholes—enough to seriously damage your vehicle if it’s not an SUV... We had to park outside the … campground.
    - Cleaning not done; restrooms were dirty, and the floor was covered with muddy footprints.
    - Pastries charged at €1.50 each: You’d expect these to be from a local bakery. They’re actually Metro-style pastries that cost €0.20. And they weren’t baked long enough.
    - Electric vehicle charging outlets are available but listed as Type 2, when they’re actually Type E (standard 220V).

    Points positifs :
    - Bel endroit, en pleine nature. Très agréable.
    - Camping bien équipé.
    - Personnel sympathique.

    Points négatifs :
    - Accès très difficiles sur les hauteurs du camping. Chemins très dégradés avec d'énormes crevasses, de quoi bien abimer votre véhicule si ce n'est pas un SUV ... Obligés de stationner hors du camping.
    - Ménage non fait, sanitaires sales, sol plein de traces de pas terreuses.
    - Viennoiseries facturées 1,5€ l'unité : On s'attend donc à des viennoiseries d'une boulangerie du coin. Ce sont en fait des viennoiseries du typé Métro à 0,2€. Et pas assez cuites.
    - La caution (empreinte CB) devait être restituée le lendemain du départ mais ne l'a été que 15 jours après et nécessitant 2 appels téléphoniques pour les relancer !
    - Prises de charge véhicules électriques disponibles mais référencées Type 2 alors que ce sont des Type E (220V classiques).

    The three of us came to climb this October, and it was awesome!
    Solène and Cédric really stood out to us—they were perfect!
    We can’t wait to come back soon.

    Thanks again for everything!

    We camped at this campground in late October.
    The setting is very pleasant, and the staff is very welcoming and helpful. The campsites are very shady. The restrooms are really clean, but unfortunately there was no heating.
    Be aware: this is a “dead zone”—no internet, no Wi-Fi, and no cell phone reception!
    For those with satellite dishes, … it’s impossible to get a signal because of all the trees. We were disappointed, except for the very friendly staff.

    Nous avons campé fin octobre dans ce camping.
    Le cadre est très agréable avec un personnel très accueillant et très serviable. Les emplacements sont très ombragés. Les sanitaires sont vraiment propres malheureusement il n’y avait pas de chauffage.
    Attention zone blanche, pas d’internet, pas de point wifi ni possibilité de capter le téléphone portable!
    Pour ceux équipés d’une parabole impossible trop d’arbres. Nous avons été déçus sauf par le personnel très sympathique.

    We ended up here somewhat by chance—given how few campgrounds are open this time of year—and we really loved this secluded spot in the middle of nature. The staff is extremely friendly, the welcome was perfect, the restrooms are very clean, and there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in the surrounding area. One minor downside: cell … service is pretty spotty at the campground, but you just have to walk over to the front desk and the signal comes back. We’ll definitely be back when it reopens in April.

    Arrivés un peu par hasard, compte tenu du peu de campings ouverts en cette saison, nous avons beaucoup aimé cet endroit perdu en plein milieu de la nature. Le personnel est d une extrême gentillesse, l accueil a ete parfait, les sanitaires très propres et il y a pleins d activités en plein air à faire aux alentours. Petit bémol le réseau téléphonique passe assez mal dans le camping mais il suffit d aller jusqu'à l accueil et le réseau est de retour. Nous reviendrons très certainement lors de la réouverture en avril.
