Animal lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and those looking for family-friendly activities will find plenty to enjoy, with a variety of activities and entertainment included in the price of the stay to keep both kids and adults entertained.

A few years ago, Mickaël lived in a mobile home for three and a half years for work-related reasons: “I now live in Le Mans, but I decided to come back to the Marina with my grandson to spend a week on vacation.” It’s a chance to catch up with former coworkers and my ex-father-in-law. I’m happy to see that there have been a lot of changes and significant improvements since I left—new playground equipment, palm trees, and brand-new mobile homes.”

He keeps an eye on his grandson at Acro-Games. Set up last summer, this large, two-level play structure—which is open to the public but requires parental supervision—features two courses: one 40 cm off the ground for the youngest children and another 4 meters high. These courses allow children to develop their motor skills while having fun, in complete safety and with full autonomy, as they navigate various obstacles, including an acrobatics course, aerial nets that act as trampolines, swings, and a slide.

Clément Paul, a native of Martigues, was hired by a temp agency for a seasonal position as an activity leader: “I just finished my studies—a BTS in electronics and networks in Aix-en-Provence—and before I enlist in the Air Force, I’m going to save up a little money. I discovered this facility, and even though I don’t have any specific training, I enjoy helping to liven up the guests’ days with my three coworkers.”

Archery, laser tag, and karaoke

Free activities include archery, laser tag, home-ball, table tennis, and pétanque.
" We also provide beach supervision, including the launch of pedal boats and kayaks, not to mention the mandatory life jackets. On Sundays, we set up the inflatable structure, which is always a big hit with the kids—though their slides aren’t always under control. "

The entertainment team also takes part in certain evening events on the restaurant stage, such as the talent show and the “Miss and Mister Campground” pageant, not to mention karaoke nights. Camel and pony rides are also available, as are the carousel and the weight room.

Ahmed, who came from Lille to spend his vacation with his wife and three children—two boys and a girl—is a huge fan of the south of France.
After Toulon, Antibes, Saint-Raphaël, and Nice, he’s set his sights on Marseille this summer: “A friend of my wife’s recommended this campground to us, and it’s a first for the family since we usually rent an apartment. I have to admit it’s more relaxing; we have everything we need right at our fingertips without having to go anywhere. Swimming was off-limits for two days, so we took the opportunity to visit Marseille and Martigues.”

Whether they want to let off some steam on the playground, have fun at circus workshops, or take part in themed activities, there's something for everyone.
