Camping Le Neptune

We stayed here in early September and indeed had to deal with the strange check-in time of 5:30 PM. The wristbands were also strange, as they only allowed us access to the shower, toilet, laundry, and pool. The pool was also inaccessible on the hottest day of our stay due to a malfunctioning wristband. The laundry facilities were filthy, and the laundry room smelled of urine. We won't be returning to Neptune.

We were happy to find a campsite that was open at the end of December. Registration is straightforward. After a quick call, the barrier is opened. There is someone there at 5 p.m. Large, separate pitches, electricity, hot showers, a small beach + a bus stop to Istres or Martigues right outside the door (1-2x per hour, for €1). Beautiful hiking trails nearby. The mini-supermarket is no longer there. €26.50 (2 people with electricity)

Reception open in the low season from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Very friendly reception, very helpful in planning a bike tour to Martigues, which I then planned using the Komoot app away from the four-lane main road. Very large pitches, we got the spot we wanted. Showers are sufficiently spacious and clean. You need to be able to organize the dishes 🤣!
