Around the Carro motorhome area – 1 km on foot

The Martigues Tourist Office recommends the Carro motorhome area as the perfect base to discover the Côte Bleue on foot, starting from a seaside location. Located on the port of Carro, the site offers 78 pitches facing the water, with water and waste disposal services — ideal for a friendly and practical stopover.

As soon as you step out of your vehicle, you are just a few steps from the picturesque small port, local shops, a bakery, a fish market, and a few restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood.

Just a few steps away, the coastline opens up to you: beaches, calanques, coves, and typically Mediterranean rocks invite swimming, walking, or snorkeling. For hiking enthusiasts, several trails — especially along the seafront — start immediately near the site, offering beautiful walks between sea, cliffs, and pine trees.

Staying at the Carro motorhome area means adopting a simple and environmentally friendly way of traveling: living at the pace of the sea, walking, breathing in the sea air, enjoying local products — without a car, without stress. Finally, in a maximum of 72 hours on site, you enjoy an authentic setting, a charming port, and direct access to the sea — perfect for a short getaway or a weekend between land and sea.
