This very modest campsite with youth hostel and restaurant lies directly opposite the old centre of Avignon. From the terrace you have a view of the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic building from the Middle Ages in Europe. The campsite lies directly on the Rhône, near the famous bridge over the river. You cannot camp any closer to the city, it is only a ten minute walk to the centre. Camping Bagatelle (open throughout the year) is convenient for a short stay only. For instance, as an overnight stop or to visit Avignon.

Transit campsite

There are more than 200 touring pitches and some 20 motorhome pitches. You can expect compact pitches. The terrain does not have much to offer. There a some hedges here and there for demarcation. Bagatelle also has a youth hostel and a hotel on the grounds. Your fellow campers are people who want to visit Avignon. They come here in July for the well-known annual arts festival. La Bagatelle is actually a transit campsite, intended for guests who are mainly interested in the city sights.

Swimming and canoeing

Adjacent to the campsite is a swimming pool (not part of the campsite), which is also located by the Rhône. The river is not suitable for swimming, but canoeing is a favourite pastime here.

Eating and drinking

The large campsite supermarket stocks an extensive range. The restaurant prepares good, affordable meals and has a large terrace. Both restaurant and terrace offer an attractive view of the city.

Sanitary facilities

The sanitary facilities are housed in a large and old building. All in all it is very basic and, according to Dutch standards, somewhat dated.

Liked - location
Disliked - Pitches were very dusty and there were rats around. I suppose it’s inevitable being close to the river, but perhaps more could me done to control them.

Disliked - Sanitary facilities need updating badly, The disabled facilities were dangerous - water randomly going to boiling - burnt my head twice whilst trying to wash my hair
Noise on a night was terrible
Only found one water point on the site to get water

Same with laundry - no signage
Some of the pitches had rubbish strewn on them
Needs a lot of improvement to it by the owners

Liked - “The campsite is ideally situated within a few minutes’ walking distance from central Avignon. It is well-maintained, offering large, functional pitches and clean sanitary facilities with reliable hot showers. Additional amenities such as a small supermarket, laundry services, and a bar are also available and of excellent quality. I would highly recommend this campsite to travelers seeking a comfortable and convenient stay while visiting Avignon.”
