Avis CAMPING CHANTECLER Aix-En-Provence

Nous sommes venu en caravane pour une nuit, la personne qui nous a reçu est très accueillant et sympathique, de plus ils nous a choisi un emplacement bien adapté pour notre grande caravane. Et nous a aider à nous installer en nous aidant à manœuvrer la caravane avec un collègue. Merci beaucoup on reviendra car nous avons pas eu le temps de bien profiter et visiter ce camping par temps de pluie..
à bientôt

Des années que je fréquente ce camping familial et où j’ai passé de très bons moments grâce à la bienveillance de sa gerante, toujours souriante, drôle et disponible. J’ai été reçu en ce début d’année de façon exécrable par un employé qui nous a mal parlé et le camping est à l’abandon, ayant perdu toute son âme et son charme, je n’y reviendrai plus !

Séjour d'un nuit en camping car en décembre 23 = 28.20€ pour 2 personnes, accès aux sanitaires trop loin et place pas facile d'accès, pas de service car nous sommes en hiver. Bref très cher.

Wir waren in den letzten 10 Jahren häufig und gern im Winter auf diesem Platz. Nun hat der Zustand der sanitären Einrichtungen und der gesamten Anlage nichts mehr mit französischem Charme zu tun, sondern ist einfach komplett runtergekommen, Schade!

Molto tranquillo! La signora Rachida molto gentile e disponibile . Da Antonella

✨✨????????????CAMPING AU TOP????????✨✨

En espérant que mon opinion réhausse tous les mauvais avis que j'ai pu lire avant d'arriver sur ce camping ! ????????

Nous avons réservé un mobile home pour la semaine de Noël et nous avons passé une superbe semaine.

✨Mobile home propre et fonctionnel✨

Nous avons payé 400€ la semaine (2 adultes, 1 adolescent et un chien ????) Camping situé en plein coeur de "Aix en Provence" et qui plus est pendant la période de Noël,c'est vraiment raisonnable!! ????????

✨ De plus , au contraire de ce que j'ai pu lire (une nouvelle fois), on y trouve une Equipe souriante et serviable ???? qui tient le camping depuis trois mois et font le maximum pour entretenir le tout et satisfaire le moindre des besoins de chacun !!????

Il reste sûrement et encore beaucoup de travail à réaliser sur ce joli camping car en effet il est très grand, arboré et valloneux cependant il y a un potentiel monstre et avec persévérance les nouveaux propriétaires vont en faire un superbe lieu d'hébergement, de convivialité et de détente !! Bravo les gars ????????✨????

Bonjour moi je met un 5 étoiles
Personnelle très accueillant très courtois emplacement génial nous allons louer à l’année car nous ne voulons plus rester dans des quartiers Nord pourris de Marseille au millieu des rats et au milieu de l’angoisse pour nos enfants nous revenons demain pour conclure les papiers et y emménagée le plus rapidement possible lés propriétaires ont changé en plus donc le camping chantecler d’Aix ne seras plus ce qu’il était avant du changement arrive à grand pas je peux l’assurer bien évidemment pas du jour au lendemain car il faut du temps pour remettre l’ordre du désordre Des anciens propriétaires petits à petits mais sûrement ????????????????????????????

Camping utilizzato con camper per una notte. Comunque molto carino e posizionato bene. Con il bus in 10 minuti si è in centro. Anche gli autisti del bus ci hanno aiutato molto. Se sarò in zona ci tornerò

I titolari Una Coppia di amici. Posto incredibilmente bello in mezzo al bosco con ottimi servizi acqua carico scarico corrente.l’assistenza è assolutamente di primo livello noi abbiamo avuto un problema tecnico e hanno saputo Indicarci e mandarci un tecnico riparatore che in pochissimo tempo ha risolto il nostro problema. Efficienza e cordialità ai massi. Autobus nelle vicinanze in cinque minuti a piedi dal campeggio si raggiunge l’autobus che ci porta direttamente in centro.città bellissima Grazie mille di tutto

Wir waren Weihnachten hier, als es ziemlich ruhig war. Als Outdoorfreaks, die zum Klettern in Sainte-Victoire hier waren, hat uns der Platz gut gefallen: kein geleckter, steriler Ort, sondern ein Naturcamping (camping à la ferme eben) in einem hügeligen Waldgelände mit einer grossen Pflanzenvielfalt und hohen Aleppo-Kiefern. Die Jungs in der Rezeption und vom Platz-Unterhalt sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, auch wenn mein Französich nicht so perfekt war. Die Eingangsschranken einwandfrei (es kann mal vorkommen, dass der Code geändert wird, dann nachfragen), die Sanitäranlagen okay. Es wird immer irgendwo mal umgebaut, mehr Stellflächen geschaffen. Im Sommer gibt es einen Swimmingpool, einen Volleyballspielplatz und ein kleines Restaurant, waren jetzt natürlich geschlossen. Der vordere Teil des Platzes hat eine akustische Anbindung an die grosse weite Welt (Autobahn), ist aber nicht so tragisch.
Da der Platz auch im Winter offen ist, werde ich sicherlich wieder herkommen! Für Freunde von Luxus-Campingplätzen ist dieser hier vermutlich nicht so geeignet

Ottimo posto x sosta di passaggio, c'è tutto quello che serve: corrente, carico, scarico, acqua calda, tranquillità, gentilezza e cordialità
Torneremo ????

Don't even contemplate staying here. The worst, yet most expensive campsite of our trip, at €40/night low season. Dirty, outdated, poor facilities, terrible pitches.

Our first night, we were directed up a hill to a pitch with electricity. The road is narrow, one way, lined by trees/roots sticking out. The pitch was slightly sloping (tolerable), there was broken beer bottle glass & rubbish on the floor. In the morning, with nowhere to turn the only option to leave was to reverse all the way back - this (in a citroen relay van), was extremely difficult, required assistance of other campers to navigate & was still impossible not to scratch the vehicle from the overgrowth.
The second night we moved to a different pitch, lower down the hill. Most the electricity boxes dont take the usual European 3pin, (but something predating this we've never seen before), so we were limited to one pitch. The pitch was next to a delipudated cabin, with broken decking, broken furniture & rubbish on it. And our pitch had a tall metal ladder leaning up against a tree for our remaining 2nights. No sign of any work going on, just abandoned. Health & safety anyone?

Sanitary blocks - another disaster. Outside door handle broken off, just lying on the floor. Inside, shower cubicles with such thick scum over the walls/floor, they must've gone months without a thorough clean. Shower heads removed in two of the showers (so just pouring out the pipe), and shower trays that aren't positioned for the shower heads so you have to stand on the edge of the shower tray. Locks also missing on some doors. However, the water was lovely and hot-but that's my sole compliment.

Good bus service into town and out to the nature reserves, we made use of that. In that respect location is convenient. However, it feels this campsite doesnt take care of the facilities, but being the only campsite in Aix, gets away with charging an astromic amount as people don't have alternatives.
Elsewhere (including Avignon) we paid €22-25pn, generally for much nicer facilities, here was €40.

Camping ouvert toute l'année..Venus le 2 décembre pour 1 nuit. 1 emplacement, 2 adultes, 1 ado, 1 chien avec électricité 50 euros...très chère....rien ne justifie les 4 étoiles ..mais ça dépanne une nuit

La "CATA"!!!! cher, sale, accueil déplorable.... et pour le bruit du réseau routier proche, n'en parlons même pas!!!! Passez votre chemin...

We came in our motorhome to visit Aix-en-Provence for a couple of days and chose this campsite for its location on the edge of town. We wanted a sunny spot on the campsite, a chance to get our washing done after a couple of weeks on the road, use of the showers and good WiFi connection.
What a disappointment. We were allocated a gloomy spot under trees at the bottom of the hill, next to a disused outdoor café/restaurant. The nearby shower block was locked on the second day leaving my wife to trek up the hill in her night dress to find the other shower block after getting a dis-interested response from the reception staff.
Our washing was trapped in the washing machine for several hours because the electrical supply was out of action, a state of affairs which we only discovered after the machine door had been closed. When the electricians finally turned up and the washing was done, it was dark and there was no tumble drier so we had to leave it draped over the bushes overnight, but it was still wet in the morning.
The WiFi signal was weak and the connection kept dropping out.
On complaining about these issues and the fact that it was totally unacceptable for a cost of 105 Euros for 3 nights, it was absolutely galling to be told that we could have had a sunny pitch at the top of the hill where there were several others motor homes and where the shower block was open.
This site is the worst value for money we have ever had in 6 years of motorhome experience including several visits to France.
In summer the site may be acceptable, but right now it looks tired, run down and their charges for late November are scandalous. They are clearly complacent with the fact that it is the only site in town.

Seul avantage de ce camping sa situation près du centre ville d'Aix.
À part cela personnel masculin rébarbatif, emplacement tenant du terrain vague, coût exorbitant et.. Pas d'eau chaude pendant 2 jours sans excuse ni explication. Bref camping à éviter

Angeblich soll der Campingplatz 4 Sterne haben. Ich frage mich, wo. Nur der Preis ist 4 Sterne, nämlich fast 40€ pro Nacht für einen Van. Ein Witz bei diesem runtergekommenen Platz. Wir haben Strom bezahlt, der am zugewiesenen Platz nicht funktionierte. Am nächsten Platz war der Kasten leer. Die Sanitäranlagen sind alt und gammelig. Die Schranke funktioniert nur manchmal. Die Plätze sind sehr uneben, die Zufahrt sehr steil. Viele tiefe Äste. Für hohe Mobile nur bedingt geeignet. Zudem werden alle auf engen Raum zusammengelegt, obwohl der ganze andere Platz leer ist. Das Personal ist uninformiert, desinteressiert und unfreundlich. Den ganzen Abend haben Handwerker an den umliegenden Plätzen gebastelt. Wir fühlten uns ganz klar abgezockt. Nie wieder

Der Campingplatz ist total ok. Einfaches Naturcamping im Wald am Berg. Camping für Camper, Glamper werden hier nicht glücklich. Sanitär erfüllt seinen Zweck und war auch sauber (Gäste machen übrigens den Dreck nicht die Betreiber…) Ich fand es gut hier und hab mich wohl gefühlt ohne den ganzen unnötigen Schnickschnack wie anderswo. Die Camper stehen nicht in Reihe und man hat Privatsphäre. Ende Oktober 2023/19€, die Dame am Empfang war sehr nett, hat englisch gesprochen und der Check in ging fix. Bin froh das ich die ganzen negativen Bewertungen ignoriert habe.

Camping peu recommandable. Personnel pas très aimable. 36 euros la nuit pour 4 en tente sans elec, c'est vraiment du vol. Nous étions en vélo et n'avions pas le choix de nous y arrêter.

Whilst we are grateful that the site was open in October it was the most expensive of our trip so far. The receptionist was lovely and she explained everything in English for us.
The site is run down and needs a good tidy up. I'm surprised that all the undergrowth and the bushes haven't been tidied up to prevent fires.
The toilet block was OK and had just been cleaned when we got back late afternoon. However the bins were full in the evening and hadn't been emptied before we left in the morning.
Swimming pool was over the far corner so I don't know if it was open or not.
It's within walking distance of Aix en Provence so we went there for a couple of hours.
Location meant we paid the 36euros to stay there but we would have stayed elsewhere if we could.

Litt slitt men OK svømmebassen. Et godt utgangspunkt for å besøke Aix en Provence

It's hard when visiting a campsite out of season to give a complete and fair rating of its services because it's very quiet and not all or many of the services are being offered. You're basically getting the site, electricity (if you've paid for it) plus use of the washblocks.

On our arrival we went straight to reception and were given a plan of the site and shown where to pitch-up. We were given advice on the local bus service, which proved helpful.

We then went to the motorhome service area to fill up with water, also the area for the grey and wc waste; basic and could certainly do with a re-vamp. It was smelly and right next to the bins nor was it particularly clean.

We then met a fellow traveller who told us that he couldn't get up to the pitch area indicated on the map because his motorhome was too big, and as his motorhome was smaller than ours he recommended that we tried the area where he'd pitched up, so we did.

We found a pitch on the hillside which was flat and which had electricity. The electric hook-ups are not the 3-pin that you'd normally find so you need an adapter, which we had. But we met another traveller in his hire van which did not have an adapter so we leant him a spare that I had.

The bar & restaurant wasn't open when we visited at 6.45 in the evening. There weren't many people around. The pool wasn't officially open and whilst it was in a really good spot, with good sunshine late into the evening, it wasn't particularly clean. So a paddle at best.

The main shower block is central to the site, not particularly modern but with everything necessary for a short stay. The water was always hot, after letting the shower run for a few minutes. Of the 6 toilet cubicles only 3 had working locks.

I didn't see the washblock being washed or cleaned and noticed that the wash-hand basins weren't particularly clean.

The location of the site is really good. It is minutes from the autoroute. Plus the bus services, 3 and 4, are within a 5 minute-walk from the front of the site. A 10-journey or trip ticket (only €10 - great value & easy to use) is available from the newsagent and tabac store which is right by where the number 3 & 4 buses start and finish. So that was really convenient. The number 3 takes about 7 to 8 minutes to get to the stop, Gambert, which is closest to the city centre. The number 4 is the bus required for the main railway station.

So although I've given the site 3 stars that's based on a low season review. I suspect in the main season the pool and washblocks are probably cleaner and the bar & restaurant are open. It provided us with a convenient spot to park our motorhome, to visit the city and to travel to Marseille for the rugby.

There is currently ground and building works taking place close to the rear of the main washblock and bar/restaurant, but this doesn't take place during the weekend.

At €105 for our 3 night stay it wasn't particularly cheap or good value for money. We'd paid less than half in Avignon for two nights with very similar services and quality of services.

Der Standort ist sicherlich gut, per Bus oder zu Fuß in die Altstadt... Kein Problem! Aber der Platz an sich? Alt und ungepflegt und die Sanitäranlagen noch älter und ungepflegter! Die 4 Sterne sind mir ein Rätsel.

Nature piscine cigales !
Accueil souriant, et nuit ou l'on regarde les étoiles brillées.
On a aimé...

À éviter Nous avons été choqué par la saleté des sanitaires surtout en période COVID D’après certains campeur ça faisait un mois que c’était dans cet état

Camping décevant à tous les niveaux!
Personnel peu aimable et pas dynamique!
Aucune animation, club enfant qui a lieu 1 fois sur 2! Piscine froide et sale, mal équipée en transat et parasol.Aquagym pas toujours oragnisé.
Inventaire du mobilhome insuffisant(pas de cafetiére!), draps loués pas à la dimension des lits! Quand au restaurant c'est le pire, personnel mal aimable voir insultant et service trés long! Ce camping ne mérite pas 4 étoiles, à éviter avec de jeunes enfants. Aire de jeux non sécurisée en plus! Vacances ennuyantes!
