Are there many mosquitoes in the Camargue?
There is no marshland anywhere in the world without mosquitoes, and since the Camargue is a marshland, there are mosquitoes in the Camargue! However, you can fully enjoy our beautiful region by adopting a few simple habits: wear light but covering clothes in the evening, use a suitable repellent or choose certain times of day. At Camping Crin Blanc, we have also put solutions in place for your comfort: two pheromone traps protect the bar/restaurant terrace.
Is there public transport to explore the area near the campsite?
No. The campsite is not served by public transport. We strongly advise guests to come with their own means of transport (car, bike…).
From what time can I arrive at the campsite?

Are there cycle paths starting from the campsite?
Our campsite in Arles is a few kilometres from the ViaRhôna, but no cycle path is directly accessible from the campsite.
