Find a wide selection of campervans and motorhomes for hire in Calanques and the surrounding area. Discover unique vehicles offered by private owners: from compact campervans for 2 people, perfect for couples, to spacious 6-berth motorhomes, ideal for families. Flexibility, competitive prices and insurance included.
From sleek A-class models to versatile coachbuilts and low-profiles, there’s a motorhome for every adventure—whether you need a compact getaway for two or a spacious multi-berth for the whole family.
The campervan is the ultimate all-rounder. Effortlessly practical and built for freedom, it’s just as at home navigating tight city streets as it is exploring the heart of the countryside.
The Calanques stretch across 20 kilometres of limestone coastline between Marseille and Cassis, forming one of Europe's few periurban national parks, established in 2012. This narrow band of turquoise inlets and white cliffs sits at the edge of France's second-largest city, making it remarkably easy to reach yet wonderfully wild once you arrive. From the deep fjord-like Calanque d'En-Vau to the pine-fringed shores of Calanque de Sormiou, each inlet has its own character and access trail. The drive from Marseille's Vieux-Port to the harbour town of Cassis covers just 23 km along the D559, while heading inland from Cassis to the hilltop village of Aubagne is only 18 km — ideal distances for a campervan trip without long hours behind the wheel. Beyond the coast, the Massif des Calanques offers over 140 km of marked hiking paths through garrigue scrubland, and the Col de la Gineste road provides sweeping views down to the sea. Climbers flock to the towering walls above En-Vau, while kayakers paddle between inlets inaccessible by road. Exploring the Calanques in a motorhome lets you set your own rhythm, waking up near the trailhead one morning and by a harbour the next. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based around Marseille, Cassis, and Aubagne, choosing from compact vans perfect for narrow coastal lanes to larger vehicles suited for families. It is a peer-to-peer approach that keeps costs fair and puts local knowledge at your fingertips from the moment you collect the keys.
The Calanques are at their best from April to October, with spring wildflowers carpeting the trails and autumn offering warm seas without the summer crowds. The Fête de la Saint-Eloi in late June brings traditional Provençal celebrations to Cassis, while the Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents festival lights up July with open-air concerts. Summer is peak season, so we recommend booking your campervan on Yescapa well ahead to lock in the widest choice of vehicles from local owners. Note that access to several calanques is restricted on high fire-risk days between June and September — check the Préfecture website each morning before heading out. Outside peak months, you will find more availability at campsites and quieter trails, and Yescapa's peer-to-peer model often means friendlier rates during shoulder season.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.
This compact 80 km loop over 3–5 days links Cassis, Calanque de Port-Miou, and La Ciotat. Perfect for a campervan, the route follows quiet coastal lanes with stops for swimming and cliff walks. Campsites near Cassis offer full hook-ups for overnight stays.
Cover 150 km in 3–6 days along the coast from Marseille's Vieux-Port through Cassis and on to Bandol's vineyards. The D559 hugs the shoreline, passing Calanque de Sormiou and the fishing port of Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer. Ideal for both campervans and motorhomes.
A 280 km route over 5–8 days exploring the Calanques coastline and the hilltop towns of Aubagne and Gémenos before looping to the Sainte-Baume massif. Motorhome-friendly campsites dot the route, and the mix of coast and forest keeps every day fresh.
This 350 km circuit over 5–8 days connects Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, and Avignon, blending the Calanques coast with lavender-scented inland Provence. Stop at the Pont du Gard and Cours Mirabeau. A campervan gives you flexibility between city stopovers and rural pitches.
Spanning 500 km over 7–11 days, this route traces the coast from Toulon through the Calanques to the Camargue wetlands. Highlights include Hyères, Cassis, and the flamingo lagoons of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Suited to motorhomes with plenty of seaside aires along the way.
A 600 km adventure over 10–15 days from the Calanques to Mont Ventoux and the Gorges du Verdon. Begin in Marseille, wind through Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon villages, then climb to Ventoux's summit. A campervan handles the mountain passes comfortably with well-placed campsites throughout.

The area around the Calanques offers a good spread of campsites, from coastal pitches near Cassis and La Ciotat to quieter inland spots in the hills behind Aubagne and Gémenos. Most sites provide electrical hook-ups, water points, and waste disposal suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Several are open year-round, and many include swimming pools, Wi-Fi, and shaded pitches beneath pine and olive trees — a welcome feature during the warmer months.
Most roads around the Calanques are departmental routes rather than motorways. The A50 autoroute connects Marseille to Aubagne and Cassis, with tolls payable by card or cash at barrier booths — expect around €2 for the short stretch. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes must observe a speed limit of 110 km/h on autoroutes and 80 km/h on single-carriageway roads. The D559 coast road between Marseille and Cassis is scenic but narrow in places, so larger vehicles should take extra care on bends. Rest areas along the A50 have dedicated spaces for campervans and motorhomes, making it easy to stop and plan your next move.
It was our first time in campervan and we got everything we needed. The car was comfortable, economical and fully equipped. We spent an unforgettable week during the total eclipse, although it was almost impossible to find available space on camping sites at that time. But the car batteries did great job so we could park even without the electricity access. The car used 8,9 l/100 km even though we almost didn't use highways. Carlos was very nice and helpful, he made our trip convenient and safe. We definitely recommend Carlos and his vehicle!
There was a small hiccup at first with the reservation, but it was solved quickly and from there on it was total bliss. The motorhome is absolutely top-notch, and the service was really warm and friendly. Despite the language barrier (we didn't speak much Spanish and they didn't speak much English), everything went very smoothly. So there's no need to worry if you don't speak their language — they have the means and experience to handle it. At the handover they walked us through the motorhome and gave us some camping tips and tricks, which made our trip very enjoyable. A big plus was the air conditioner in the living quarters.
Fantastic Family Experience with a Wonderful Host! We are a family of four and could not be more satisfied with our experience. The owner, Martial, was exceptionally helpful throughout the entire process. Before booking, he answered all of our questions promptly and consistently catered to our needs. During our trip, he went out of his way to check in on us and offered fantastic local advice and recommendations on places to visit. The pickup and drop-off processes were both seamless and efficient. The van itself is in excellent condition, extremely well-maintained, spotless, and fully equipped with everything you might need for a great trip—with practically everything working perfectly. We were also deeply touched by Martial’s kindness in picking us up at the airport, which made the start of our trip so much easier.
We had a fantastic family road trip in Carlos’s motorhome, visiting Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Schwarzwald, and Europa-Park. The vehicle had a few minor scratches from previous rentals and was due for a routine service, but Carlos assured us upfront not to worry about them, and it didn't affect our trip at all. The motorhome was well-equipped—having the onboard air grill was an especially nice touch! Pickup and drop-off were quick, straightforward, and hassle-free. We highly recommend Carlos and his motorhome.
The vehicle picture are old and today's vehicle condition are quite different; there are signs of rust on the bodywork and early signs of mold on the inner tent of the upper bed; few scratches to the vehicle are present but they do no demine its functionalities. Despite the fact that everything works, It has been frustrating to pull and push the rear seat back especially at the beginning of the journey, then we get it right with the experience; I personally recommend having the fold/unfold mechanism inspected and fixed. Anyhow, it allowed us to have a wonderful vacation and the robust engine never left us unsupported. Antonio is very supportive and responsive; he helped us with the logistics and gave us a few tips to start the travel.
This was our first experience with a camper. Aurora and Cristian were very helpful and the rental process was very easy and fast. The camper is quite old, but is very well maintained and fully functional. I would recommend this camper. We didn't had any issues during our trip.
