Wedding, school trip, cycling club or association: are you looking for somewhere to house your group in the Camargue? In the heart of the Regional Nature Park, our campsite in the Camargue welcomes group stays, especially in the low season. It is neither a hotel nor a group gîte: it is a 3-star estate surrounded by nature, run directly by our family, in the authentic Camargue. Halfway between Arles and the coast, it opens onto the Camargue, the Alpilles, the Gard and the Bouches-du-Rhône. Accommodation, meals, visits: together, we build a group stay in the Camargue tailored to your project.
Why Camping Crin Blanc Suits Your Group
Accommodation grouped together: mobile homes with 2 to 3 bedrooms close to one another, a Provençal house, pitches side by side.
Meals on request: breakfast, picnics, dinner at the restaurant.
A central location: Arles 15 km away, Nîmes 25 km, the Alpilles 28 km.
A pool to get together: three pools, including a spa area, heated in the low season.
A quiet, unspoilt setting: rice fields, horses and bulls nearby, free wifi across the whole campsite.
Themed stays: traditions, farming, cycling, fishing, horse riding, art.
A family business: the owners run the campsite themselves.
One address for everyone: an alternative to a hotel or gîte, so your whole group stays in the same place.
Accommodation and Meals: the Basis of Your Stay
Mobile Homes, Pitches and Pool
To make our campsite your group’s base, we look at the number of guests and our availability, then put together an arrangement that brings together:
Our fully equipped air-conditioned mobile homes, with 2 to 3 bedrooms and located close to one another: each family or small group of friends has its own bedrooms.
Our camping pitches, grouped side by side for groups with tents, caravans or motorhomes.
Our accommodation also includes the Provençal house, the Coco Sweet tents and the bivouac cabins, so each group can arrange its bedrooms to suit its needs.
After a day of visits, your group meets up by the campsite pool. The pool area has a large 20 × 10 m pool and a spa area open to guests aged 12 and over (both heated in the low season), as well as a paddling pool for the youngest holidaymakers. Free wifi covers the whole campsite. Throughout your stay, our reception team is on hand to help, from managing your arrival to organising your meals at the campsite restaurant.
Meals Planned in Advance
Led by our chef, the campsite restaurant offers menus designed for groups, booked in advance. We plan the meals around your itinerary so that they fit smoothly into your stay.
A full breakfast to start the day, from 8:30 am
A packed lunch to take away, handy during excursions
Dinner at the restaurant, to get together after the day
Flexible catering to suit your needs and budget: from breakfast to a full dinner, including a packed lunch or a lighter evening meal, we work with you on the right option for your group. Our restaurant offers several catering options to match your itinerary, your preferences and everyone’s budget.
Send us your dates, group size and itinerary, and we will look at the options that suit your group stay in the Camargue.
Weddings, School Trips, Cycling, Fishing: Group Stay Ideas in the Camargue
Accommodation for Wedding Guests
The area around the campsite has plenty of reception venues and manades (bull ranches). For a wedding weekend with family and friends, Camping Crin Blanc can host your guests in a holiday setting: an alternative to hotel rooms and gîtes. They enjoy the comfort of an air-conditioned mobile home or a Provençal house, use the pool between the big moments and stay surrounded by nature, 15 minutes from Arles town centre. Before or after the reception, your loved ones discover the charm of the landscapes and the traditions of the Camargue, from the abbey church of Saint-Gilles to the village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
We work with two nearby reception venues: the Manade des Montilles, 10 minutes (8.5 km) from the campsite, and the Manade du Rousty, 6 minutes (4 km) away.

School Trips and Study Tours in the Camargue
Are you organising a school trip for your pupils or a study tour for your students? Our campsite is a starting point to explore Provençal heritage, Camargue traditions, farming and local crafts. The same outings can be adapted to each group, depending on the participants’ age and your learning objectives. Your programme can combine cultural visits, fun activities and meetings around livestock farming and regional traditions.
On the practical side, the campsite restaurant prepares packed lunches for the outings and dinner on your return. On site, free wifi lets group leaders stay reachable. Please confirm activities and booking conditions directly with each site.
Cycle Touring Stays on the ViaRhôna
Whether you are a cycling club out for the weekend, an association or a group of friends, the ViaRhôna passes through Saint-Gilles, 4 km from our Accueil Vélo-certified campsite (14 minutes by bike). Stop over with us on your way to Aigues-Mortes, or stay a few days to explore the Camargue by bike. Walkers are well catered for too, since the Way of St James passes right in front of the campsite. For an overnight stop, our bivouac cabins and tents offer an alternative to walkers’ hostels.
Whether you choose the comfort of a mobile home, our quirky bivouac tents and cabins or a simple pitch, everything is designed to make your cycling stay easier and help you make the most of your stopover:
- A secure, locked bike room to keep your bikes safe.
- A repair kit on loan, for minor mechanical problems.
- Self-service lockers to store your personal belongings.
- Free wifi to plan the next day’s stage in peace.
- For more serious breakdowns, a bike repairer is based in Saint-Gilles.
Breakfast, packed lunch, evening dinner: we plan the meals with you, according to your route. And back at the campsite, the spa area of the pool helps you recover after the miles.
Fishing Trips and Competitions
The Gard and the Bouches-du-Rhône offer a wide range of settings for fishing enthusiasts, in unspoilt natural surroundings. Is your club taking part in a competition over a weekend, or organising a fishing trip? Rather than spreading out across several gîtes, your club stays in one place, with the pool to relax between sessions. Camping Crin Blanc hosts your group, and we discuss with you how to get to the fishing spots and competition venues.
Horse Riding Stays Rooted in Camargue Traditions
In the heart of the Regional Nature Park, you discover the Camargue at the pace of the horse and of traditions deeply rooted in the land. Riding clubs, associations, enthusiasts or students can plan a stay close to this living culture: visits to stud farms and Camargue mas (farmhouses), meetings with breeders and immersion in local riding practices, on foot as well as on horseback.
To enrich your programme, equestrian vaulting offers another way to explore the bond between rider and horse, combining balance, gymnastics and body expression. In Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, about 29 km from the campsite, the Lorenzo Voltige Academy teaches riders of all ages and levels, for leisure or competition. It is a great opportunity to consider a taster session, a course or a group activity built around this unique discipline.
To plan your project, discover the activities on the official Lorenzo Voltige Academy website.
Painting Courses in the Footsteps of Van Gogh
The light of Provence inspired Vincent van Gogh and still attracts painters and photographers today. For an art course, the Camargue and Provence offer a wide variety of landscapes and sources of inspiration. Your group can combine open-air painting sessions, trips into the regional landscapes and visits to the places that shaped Van Gogh’s work, in Arles and in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (44 km). In Les Baux-de-Provence (36 km), the charm of the village continues with an immersive art experience at the Carrières des Lumières.
Arles invites you to take this artistic immersion further in many forms: from the contemporary architecture of the LUMA Arles arts centre to the exhibitions of the Rencontres de la photographie, a key event for photographic creation. The town offers countless opportunities to sharpen your eye, discover new works and develop your artistic practice.
Does your project fall outside these categories? Family reunion, yoga retreat, wildlife photography course, a feria in Arles or Nîmes with friends: tell us about it, as we consider every request.

Your Questions About Group Stays in the Camargue
Can I make a group booking on the website?
No. Beyond 3 accommodation units booked by people travelling together, it counts as a group booking: send your request in writing to contact@campingcrinblanc.com, stating the reason for the stay. As the campsite remains family-oriented, the management reviews each request and may set specific conditions (supervision, location of the accommodation units, “final cleaning” option).
Can I place an option on a stay?
You can place an option on your stay, valid for four days.
Are all the accommodation units air-conditioned?
Yes, except for the COCO SWEET tents.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs under 30 kg, kept on a lead, are accepted for a fee payable at the time of booking (except category 1 and 2 dogs). Only one small animal is allowed per rental unit. On camping pitches, two small dogs may be accepted, but only with the campsite’s agreement (contact us before your arrival).
Is the pool area supervised?
No. The pool is not supervised, and minors must always be accompanied by one of their parents. If the pool area rules are not respected, we will unfortunately have to refuse you access.
Is there public transport to visit the area?
The campsite is not served by public transport. We strongly advise our visitors to come with their own means of transport.
