Our Experts Say
Situated 660m high at the entrance to the Gorges du
Verdon this site enjoys a stunning location right on the
Verdon river. You can launch inflatables and canoes
from an attractive beach where it is also deep enough
for swimming. The views of beautiful rocky mountains all
round and the wonderful cosmopolitan atmosphere
compensate for the small swimming pool and sanitary
block which is not quite up to standard. Although the
site is divided by a main road through the gorges, the
majority of pitches are all on the river side, with the
accommodation on the other. You are only a 5 minute
drive from Castellane and 1½ hours from the French
Riviera. Be wary as it can be very cool at night.

showers have a hot and cold tap with hooks, shelf and rail.
