Why stay at Marina Plage—even
in winter?

Camping Marina Plage isn’t just a summer destination. Open year-round in Vitrolles, on the shores of the Étang de Berre, the campground welcomes vacationers, business travelers, and visitors seeking a more peaceful getaway in Provence.

Far from the hustle and bustle of summer, winter offers a different way to experience camping and its natural surroundings. The region’s often mild temperatures allow you to fully enjoy the outdoors while taking advantage of the comfort of heated mobile homes and services available year-round.

With its peaceful setting, proximity to Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, accessible amenities, and friendly atmosphere, Marina Plage continues to offer a truly memorable vacation experience, even during the off-season.

A peaceful setting on the shores of the Étang de Berre all year round

In winter, Marina Plage takes on a different atmosphere—one that’s calmer and more soothing. The shores of the Étang de Berre, the pine trees, and the campground’s wide-open spaces let you enjoy a pleasant natural setting far from the fast pace of the nearby big cities.

This time of year is particularly appealing to vacationers looking for a few days of rest, as well as business travelers who want to stay in a more welcoming setting than a typical hotel. Thanks to its prime location in Vitrolles, the campground is easily accessible from Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, or the Marseille-Provence Airport.

Even outside the summer season, the sunsets over the lake, walks along the water’s edge, and the quintessential Provençal atmosphere continue to give Marina Plage its charm. Vacationers then discover another side of Provence—one that’s more authentic and relaxing.

Today, this tranquility helps make camping a popular destination year-round.

Comfortable mobile homes, even in winter

To ensure a pleasant stay year-round, the mobile homes at Marina Plage are equipped with reversible air conditioning units and electric convection heaters, which help maintain a comfortable temperature even during cooler periods.

The accommodations also feature all the amenities needed for both short- and long-term stays: a fully equipped kitchen, functional living areas, comfortable bedrooms, and parking right next to the mobile home. Some units can accommodate up to eight people to meet the needs of families or groups.

The campground’s front desk remains open year-round to assist guests during their stay, while the technical and maintenance teams work around the clock to ensure the facilities run smoothly. This setup allows both vacationers and business travelers to enjoy comfortable accommodations in a welcoming setting.

Marina Plage thus offers a pleasant alternative to traditional accommodations, particularly for long-term stays or business trips in the region.

A lively campground even in the off-season

Contrary to popular belief, several areas and activities at Marina Plage remain open even outside the summer season. Vacationers can continue to enjoy the petting zoo, the children’s playground, the weight room, and the various recreational facilities available at the campground.

The pétanque court, the children’s playground, the Home Ball area, and other outdoor spaces also provide opportunities to enjoy time together on sunny Provençal winter days. This consistent range of amenities helps maintain a lively and welcoming atmosphere throughout the year.

The campground welcomes a diverse range of guests: families on vacation, business travelers, travelers passing through or returning regularly, families traveling for sports tournaments, and other vacationers coming to enjoy the tranquility of the off-season. This diversity contributes to the warm atmosphere that has characterized Marina Plage for several generations.

Staying at the campground in winter ultimately lets you discover a different way to enjoy a vacation in Provence, in a more peaceful setting that’s still filled with the family-friendly spirit of Marina Plage.

Open year-round, Marina Plage lets you enjoy Provence in a comfortable and relaxing setting, even during the winter. With fully equipped, heated mobile homes, a natural setting on the shores of the Étang de Berre, and services available throughout the season, the campground offers a unique experience—ideal for recharging your batteries or enjoying a peaceful stay in the region.
