I've been to the Camargue area a few times, and the last time I spent any time there I stayed near St. Remy-de-Provence. However, this wasn't a particularly central location for the main birding areas (the Camargue itself, La Crau and Alpilles) and if I was going again I would probably look to stay closer to Arles (probably somewhere between Arles and Les Baux) as the main areas are then all close at hand. That may be a bit of a pricey area to stay in though.

Have you tried the Gites-de-France website for accomodation?
