Lou Cigalon Campsite
Lou Cigalon Campsite sits peacefully in the Calanque des Tamaris on Provence's Côte Bleue, just 50 metres from the Mediterranean. This small, family-run parc offers a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere where couples and families with young children can truly unwind. The heated outdoor pool overlooks the sea, providing stunning views as you swim. Rocky shores perfect for snorkelling lead to sheltered swimming spots in your own private calanque. The restaurant and pizzeria serve honest Mediterranean food under the pines, with unobstructed sea views and reasonable prices. A multi-sports court offers basketball and football, whilst table tennis tables and a children's playground with swings and slides keep everyone entertained.

The Classic range includes the Comfort 4 (sleeps 4-5) and Comfort 6 (sleeps 6), both featuring two bedrooms, covered decking and essential amenities. Premium options like the Premium 4 and Premium 6 add air conditioning and dishwashers. The Ultimate 6 offers the highest specification with lounge decking, premium mattresses and coffee machines. All accommodation includes outdoor furniture and BBQs where permitted.
Nearby attractions include Martigues (15km), known as the 'Venice of Provence' with its colourful Miroir aux Oiseaux quarter and canal-side restaurants.

The gorgeous sandy Baie de Saint-Croix beach sits just 15 minutes' walk through pine-scented paths, whilst Carro's fishing port with its daily market is close by.
