A magnificent spot in the lively little port of Carro, Martigues

Carro Aire de Camping-Car is located between Marseille and the stunning natural area of the Camargue. Here, you can truly breathe in the atmosphere of a real French fishing village, with locals playing pétanque and fishermen returning every evening with their fresh tuna catch. There’s a beautiful stone beach, and this is probably the very last legal place in the South of France where you can park your camper right next to the Mediterranean Sea. And just steps away is the authentic fish market – where you can buy the freshest fish of your life.

The fully automatic entry system will save you time on arrival. The place offers all the basic necessities like fresh water and grey water disposal. Dogs are welcome too. And if you’re lucky enough to grab a spot in the front row (which runs along three sides of the area, so your chances are pretty good!), you’ll get a beautiful view of the sea, the port of Carro, or Cap Couronne with its lighthouse – especially magical at sunrise.

This is a working port and fish market – Carro is famous for its tuna

It catches your eye with its charming little port and a fantastic fish market, open every morning all year round – depending on the catch of the day.

It’s the place to find the best and fanciest fish! Sea bass, sea bream, tuna – all freshly caught and at great prices. Just make sure to come early for the best selection.

Sometimes you can even watch the fishermen arrive with their haul, while customs officers check the size and other details of the catch.

Don’t miss the chance to watch locals play pétanque – the traditional game of the South of France.

Carro also has some great restaurants, a small supermarket, and a boulangerie – all just a few minutes’ walk from the camper parking. Take a stroll around the cute little port with its colourful boats! And don’t forget to grab a beer at Cercle St. Pierre, the locals’ pub, where tourists are warmly welcomed too.

Ambassador’s Opinion

One of our favourites in the area

We visit this amazing spot often when we're in Le Midi de la France. Sometimes we stay overnight, other times we just stop by to buy tuna or swordfish steaks – they’re really special, and we simply can’t miss them. We just love it here.
