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 - The trees were very mature and gave very good shade from the sun.
Disliked - The second shower block had no paper in the toilets.
The lights in the toilets were turned off at night. This is dangerous and very unpleasant.
All the facilities need to be renewed and should have been renews 30 years ago.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - The location is ideal for exploring Avignon, just a short walk from the site and you're in the city. Facilities were perfectly adequate (sanitary block a bit dated, but clean and plentiful).
Bar / restaurant was great for an evening meal, good food and reasonably priced (and nice wine)
Didn't use the mini-market, but it looked to be well stocked
Disliked - The only downside was the length of time to check in - but I think we were unlucky and arrived at a particularly busy time. Also the WiFi, which we paid extra for, didn't work particularly well and kept asking me to sign back in - so I gave up on it in the end.
