from 4 reviews Write review

Surrounded by the Rhône River, Camping Sandaya L’Île des Papes is situated on the tip of a small island. This campsite offers various types of accommodation besides the camping pitches. In summer you can use the heated swimming pools. The entertainment team does everything in its power to entertain guests. A visit to Avignon and the world-famous Palais des Papes is an absolute must.

Camping pitches and types of accommodation.

The campsite rents out several types of accommodation: mobile homes, lodge tents, bungalows and chalets. The campsite also has 170 pitches. 140 of these pitches are separated by hedges which provide the necessary privacy. Almost all pitches are provided with electricity.

Fun in the water

If the weather permits, you can jump in the outdoor swimming pool of the campsite. A special children's pool with play equipment and a slide is also available. The paddling pool is suitable for tiny toddlers! The campsite is situated on the Rhône, but this river is not suitable for swimming. However, it is ideal for fishing.

Activities for all ages

There is plenty to do for both young and old in the peak season (early July to end August)! Children will enjoy themselves in a kids' club, go dancing in the mini disco or join the craft activities. Adults are also not left out: walks, excursions, karaoke and film evenings. If you like to work out during your holiday, there are special fitness sessions to take part in.

Grab a bite

You can enjoy a tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner in the campsite restaurant. Alternatively, head to the pizzeria for a bite to eat or get a snack from the snack bar.

SEAN STEWART, on this campsite in September 2024

Travelling party: Couple

First visit was 10+ years ago, then it was very much a touring site. We returned in 09/23. This site is more mobile than touring and it shows. Many of the touring pitches are more than 50m from a water tap. The motorhome watering station has all three waters where the Black water had overflowed and its lid cover was loose. This was so badly maintained we did not take on or dump water at the site!. The fresh water fill point is also close to this health hazard. Apart from this the site team are very affable and helpful. Pool spotless and bar food reasonable and good value. The bus [Navette] from the site to Avignon was off in September!, so thats a walk or a cycle. Some better care on the motorhome waters and we will return.

Good campsite with good pools and shop. Nice and quiet in low season. Emplacements a good size, and camping car services at entrance to site. Worth a stay for a few days to visit Avignon and surrounding area.
