Looking for a base in the Camargue to explore the neighbouring hills? Our campsite near the Alpilles puts you 28 km from the Alpilles Regional Nature Park, in the hamlet of Saliers. Air-conditioned mobile homes, pitches of 80 to 100 m² and a full aquatic area: at our campsite in the Camargue, your day starts among the olive trees and ends by the pool. Our family welcomes you to Camping Crin Blanc, 15 km from Arles.
Between Camargue rice fields and the first foothills of the Alpilles
Our 3-star campsite close to the Alpilles sits in the hamlet of Saliers, on the D37, in the Bouches-du-Rhône. This address in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region lies at the crossroads of two territories. On one side, the Camargue, with its rice fields, horses and bulls stretching out to the Étang de Vaccarès lagoon. On the other, the white limestone of the Alpilles heralds the Provence of olive groves, markets and hilltop villages.
Choosing our campsite close to the Alpilles means enjoying the best of both worlds, between the wild nature of the Camargue and the charm of the Provençal villages of the Alpilles. Our family has run Crin Blanc in the heart of the Camargue Regional Nature Park since 2018.
Our expert tip: in high summer, the wildfire risk can become very high and lead to the temporary closure of some hill areas. Before heading out on a hike, check the access conditions on the Risque Prévention Incendie website. If the trails are closed, don’t worry: the villages remain open, and the Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence, naturally cool, are an excellent alternative for enjoying Provence away from the heat.

A refreshing break after exploring the Alpilles
Our aquatic area lets you alternate between fun and relaxation, with a pool, a slide for thrill-seekers, a safe paddling pool for children and a balneo area, perfect for easing your muscles after a day of hiking.
The relaxation area offers bubble benches and balneotherapy: just the thing for tired legs after the trails of the Alpilles. The youngest, meanwhile, happily head for the slide, between games by the pools. Around the pool, sun loungers invite you to soak up the Camargue sunshine until late afternoon. And right next door, the bar-restaurant is there to make the moment last with a cool ice cream or a refreshing mocktail. Our campsite with a pool in the Camargue is also one of the most popular campsites in July and August!
Camargue restaurant, sports activities and entertainment
On site, everything is designed to let you set the pace of your holiday: meeting up for a drink, getting active, relaxing, playing a game or simply enjoying the peace and quiet. With its west-facing terrace, the bar-restaurant becomes a favourite spot at the end of the day, while gardiane de taureau (a slow-cooked bull meat stew), made with AOP Camargue bull meat from the neighbouring manade, is one of the specialities to discover.
