Stayed here for a week on a eurocamp caravan, and there is a number of good points about the park, but also a number of bad points!

Good points
Staff are all very friendly and helpful.
Accomodation was clean and well kept.
Accomodation is on a decent size pitch.
Free crazy golf course and table tennis.
Lovey... views.
The food at the Bar on site was very nice and reasonably priced

Bad Points
The WiFi cost €40 for a week and the coverage was very poor.
Swimming pool has a bizzare rule that requires you to wear trunks and not shorts (even on the front of Homair brochure they are wearing shorts)
Jacuzzi does not work
Some noise at night from the nearby railway line.

If this resort could improve the WiFi and get rid of silly rules about trunks then I would happily give it 4-5 stars.

Unfortunately we only had 2 nights here on our busy schedule. Lorraine was extremely welcoming and friendly. Everything was spotless. A lovely pool and we even had a small family circus perform on the Wednesday night- very enjoyable.
The site is an ideal base for visiting Avignon, Nimes and Arles. We... absolutely fell in love with Arles. A place definitely worth visiting. Chateau Neuf du Pape is a lovely village close by with a very interesting wine museum. The Carmague and Aigues Mort are only 1.5 hours away.
We will certainly be back to finish touring here.

This site, which is primarily Homair with some Eurocamp, is basic, no it isn't the best equipped site nor is it the most eye catching. But what it is bloody fantastic if you want to get away from the idiots. We last went here in July 16 for 10 days and are heading back for 3weeks this July/Aug.
The reason... we are heading back is quite simply because it has what we as a family need.
The vans are well equipped as you would expect with a Eurocamp but unlike other sardine sites there is at least 3 times the space per pitch, and it is perfectly placed for exploring pretty much anywhere in Provence or the Riviera. It is only 2.5hrs drive from Monaco or if that's to far just 45mins to Marseille. Not to mention nearby Arles and the fantastic amphitheatre. If you've heard of the Gorge Verdon then this is a good Base for that as well.
If you don't want a day of exploring the site has everything you need, pool, volleyball, table tennis, aqua aerobics with François. Beer, bar food, ice cream........ more than enough for a chilled out day.
Each van comes with a barbecue, so a 15min trip to Cavaillon and one of the many well stocked supermarkets (there's even a McDonalds) , and you'll be flipping burgers and sausages etc in no time.
As my title says "What kid of holiday are you looking for?"
If you want water slides screaming kids and entertainment every night then look elsewhere, there is plenty of choice out there. Although last year the circus paid a visit which was funny, even if we brits couldn't understand a word said, but that kind of explains why some Brits won't like this site as it is primarily a French site for French people, not many of us Brits bother to drive 10hrs down to this site so they don't really cater for us.....perfect.
We prefer this kind of holiday where we can do what we want to do when we want to do it, and a nice quite site adds to that experience.
Would I recommend this site? I have done but only to like minded people.
The site entrance road does pass through a quary on one side, but I assure when you drive down that road you won't even look at the quarry as on the other side is what I presume was the old quarry. This is now a beautiful fishing lake and the water is just a magical blue that will stick in your mind forever.
On the other side of the site is a river, so you can not hear a single car or truck from the road on site.
Oh yes you can hire a bike if you want 😆

We have stayed on a good many campsites over the years but this is not one of the betters sites. The area itself is beautiful with some lovely places to visit but my advice would be to pick a better base than this.
The site is very shabby and approached through a quarry. We stayed with Eurocamp and the... caravan was fine and on a good sized pitch, However, there is no shop as such on site and the nearest supermarket is in Cavaillon, the bar/restaurant is ok and does reasonable food at reasonable prices but he place is soulless and empty, the pool is very small with a few sunloungers and bikes can be hired from reception - that's about it. My biggest gripe though was with the wifi; you can have a free hour at the bar, but i needed to use my laptop so paid 9 euros for a days use - it was useless and I couldn't get a refund.
My advice if you're touring the area is to find an alternative base.

Not a big site and tricky to find but once there all is great, especially the restaurant which has great food and is cheap. The lovely lady who runs it doesn't speak English but we are in France!! So have a go and laugh a lot, you'll be fine. The locals all eat here as well so it must be good.
Eurocamp... for a week, good base for touring around to the lovely villages.
Eurocamp courier Lorraine very nice and helpful.
Would come back in a flash!!
