Camping Pascalounet

Large pitches but not too easy getting on/off as the approach roads are quite narrow. Some trees’ branches were too low risking catching your roof. The sanitary facilities were basically good except lights were out in some showers. There were plenty of washing up sinks but only a couple with warm water. Having said all that we enjoyed our stay, plenty of walking & cycling opportunities. 20 min walk into town where there are a few little shops and a train station that’ll take you into Marseille. Fresh bread most mornings from the restaurant. Didn’t use the restaurant so unable to comment. Unfortunately on the last night it was quite noisy with children shouting until well after midnight.

I don't like writing bad reviews but I feel like I need to warn other tent campers that if you're staying in a small tent with lightweight pegs like we were (we were interrailing so had to pack light) then you may struggle with putting up your tent. We also had problems with ants getting into our tent and we found several holes in our groundsheet which we couldn't tell whether they were from the ants biting their way through or the rocks on the ground. Of course, none of this is the fault of the campsite, but if you're light camping then this probably isn't for you. We are seasoned campers and always bring appropriate equipment, but we did find it hard at times. One complaint I would have is the noise levels. Most French campsites I've been too have a limit on noise, but here people play music until the wee hours and bands play at the campsite and neighbouring campsites until well into the night which can be annoying if you want a good night's sleep and, again, are staying in a tent. I'm sure it's not a problem if you are in a cabin or caravan. Also, if you don't have a car and are using public transport, this campsite is very far from easy transport (the bus barely ever runs so we had to trek into the local town everyday). So, all in all, probably wouldn't recommend for tent campers looking for somewhere to stay near Marseille.
