Pros
A place where you can enjoy life in the sun with great courtesy from fellow vacationers. Correct welcome. Large pool equipped with numerous sun loungers. Cold water, not cleaned or maintained. Pleasant sanitary facilities with hot water.
Cons
Strong differences in the management of vehicles, especially at lakes 44, 43, and 42. Questions about the swimming ban for dogs and humans in the lakes should be explained (among many others) upon arrival. Sauna is too small. Services unavailable due to the chef's defect and bar. Special vehicle management for different nationalities: lakes 42, 43, 44.

Pros
The beautiful environment, the natural aspect with ponds and ducks, and the trails throughout the nature of the estate for hiking or running. The location and rental accommodations are perfect, well-equipped, and situated by the idyllic lakeside.
Cons
The naturist spirit is absent in the commercial contact, the incomprehensible opacity of prices (VIP package to reserve a spot that is not honored), the regulations with their exceptions for some, the rude remarks from the manager, and the pool which needs refreshing, not enough umbrellas, and sunbeds reserved throughout the day with towels.

Pros
An exceptional site Location/Rental accommodation: The location is great; however, access to the restrooms is impossible for a person with reduced mobility (a staircase dug into the earth without a railing and very slippery).
Cons
The site is left abandoned, and the pool is dilapidated. The paint hasn't been redone in years. The restroom facilities by the pool date back to the last century, and the cleanliness of the premises leaves much to be desired. No more bar, no more restaurant, and the reception was quite cold and directive. There was also a lack of animators during the time we visited.

Many things such as the pool, restaurant, and bar were closed, the bungalow is old and needs to be either replaced or maintained. Location/Accommodation: Old unmaintained bungalow, much needs to be redone like the bed, the doors, the stove, the benches, etc...

Pros
The lakeside site is still very pleasant with the song of the very familiar ducks... The possibility of naturist walks. Location/Accommodation: fairly large and shaded pitches.
Cons
No restaurant despite it being advertised on the site and unchanged since the chef's departure. Allocation of pitches is very random, refused upon our arrival, granted 1 hour later to new arrivals. Cold and uninformative welcome, fortunately the friendliness of the campers remedied this. Closure of sanitary facilities at the Carp Lake despite many campers in the area. Minimal services at the bar, generously run by very friendly volunteers. Location/Accommodation: already described above.

Pros
Calmness Location / Rental accommodation: Very good
Cons
Upon our arrival, we would have appreciated being informed about the welcome drink and especially that the restaurant, bar, and store were closed. Knowing that the campsite is open in September and that the site does not specify their closure. Just like the sauna that we never found. Total lack of communication.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Naturiste Tikayan Petit Arlane
Is Domaine du Petit Arlane a purely naturist campsite?
Yes, Domaine du Petit Arlane is a beautiful naturist campsite in the heart of the Provence countryside. Here, you can fully enjoy clothes-free camping in a wonderfully relaxed and respectful atmosphere. The campsite even has its own naturist beach by the lake, where you can swim and soak up the sun undisturbed.
What are the pool and swimming facilities like?
The campsite offers you double the swimming fun. You have a great outdoor pool with a cosy sun terrace, comfortable loungers, and an attached snack bar for cool drinks. If you prefer swimming in nature, you can relax, swim, or even go fishing directly at the campsite's own lake.
How are the pitches laid out and what should I expect?
The pitches are wonderfully quiet, surrounded by greenery, and often offer a great view of the lake. Many pitches are pleasantly shaded, which is a real blessing in the hot Provence sun.
