Camping Fontisson ^★★★

It was my first caravan tour to France from U.K. and the Camping Fortisson was the first campsite we booked to stay for one night. I really loved that site. Beautiful quiet place with swimming pool, showers, restaurant/bar and all useful facilities. The host was very friendly. There was an opportunity... to use free Wifi 15 minutes twice per day and that was just what I needed to check my emails. As the weather was more than 40 degrees at this time the swimming pool was really good and was open longer than usual. The trees gave good shadow against hot sun on our camp site.
Clean and beautiful place to stay with or without caravan. There are also mobile homes where you can stay if you drive by small car and you have no tent. Even if you have a tent only you still have an opportunity to put up your own tent also.
Thank you to all staff for nice stay in that camp!

This was our second visit to Camping Fontisson, and again we were not disappointed.

This time our around we were on pitch 31, which was a corner plot - very big and spacious. Large enough to fit our tent, a gazebo and car, whilst still leaving plenty of room to move around.

It got the sun in the... morning when the day was warming up, and the shade in the early evening.

Our only negative about this pitch was that it was very stony, and we had trouble putting some of the pegs in the ground before they hit stones under the surface, causing some to bend out of shape.

We enjoyed making use of the swimming pool, but did not get around to using the new bar/restaurant which is now on site.

This campsite is probably one of the best in the neighbourhood of Avignon. A lot of green, a lot of shadow, nice places, a nice swimming pool, tennis, fitness, whatever you like. Just a pity that the host of this campsite is not "warm" at all. As a welcome you get "the warrant is 150 euro", the farewell... is: "one glass broken, that will be taken from the warrant. Thank you". Not a word about the long journey nor about whether you enjoyed your stay or whatsoever. A pity...

We arrived at Camping Fontisson much later than we had hoped, and even though the reception had closed, we were dealt with in a great way.

The original pitch we had been given did not work for our size of tent, but we were told to walk around the campsite and find one that was empty that did suit us.... In hindsight we made this decision a bit too quickly as we found that there were nicer pitches elsewhere on the camp. However, given the time of night we arrived and that we had to set up camp quickly, our pitch was great, very sheltered and just across the road from the ablutions block.

All the pitches are separated by either bushes or trees, so it does give you some privacy, however there are some that are more exposed than others. We did struggle a bit to put our tent up as the ground was really stony, plus the famous Provence wind did not really help.

As well as offering camping pitches, Camping Fontisson also offers mobile homes and chalets for anyone who wishes to use them.

They offer washing facilities in two locations, one in the main area of the campsite and another up the top near the reception. All are kept really clean and well maintained. If you visit - don't forget the toilet paper! As our pitch was so close to one of the ablution blocks, we did hear the occasionally slamming of doors when people were using the facilities but it was no real cause for concern.

My husband and I made use of the swimming pool most days, it was a great way to relax and cool down. They also had football/basketball court, tennis court, crazy golf, a play ground for small children and some gym equipment.

On the whole the campers were very friendly and respectful, and for the most part, we all just kept to ourselves. Sadly, towards the end of our stay, we did have to politely ask a group to keep the noise down, as they were talking and laughing really loudly at 12.30am just outside their chalet, which was across the other side of the campsite from us.

We had a great time at Camping Fontisson and we hope to return one day in the near future.
