A perfect secluded hideaway next to the river provided a very peaceful stop over in between the rugby mayhem ! Super friendly & helpful staff & a lovely pitch for our T5 & event shelter. Thank you.
Not that we can think of.
Accommodation review
As mentioned - the pitches are very spacious & all have electric hook up. We have a T5 and a 4.5m x 4.5m Coleman event shelter set up. There was plenty of room.
Nothing of note.

Beautiful place, friendly staff, perfect for the children and we would love to return again next year!
We had some quite noisy neighbours, which spoiled the peace and tranquility of such a beautiful place. When the toilets were cleaned daily it was a long walk to other facilities, especially in the heat! Perhaps you could keep just one or two toilets open whilst cleaning the others. For children it was a long walk when they need the toilet!
Accommodation review
Flat, plenty of shade, easy access to electricity and close to toilets etc
Our river view plot was set back quite far from the river and perhaps shouldn’t have been a river spot but a central?

Setting, location, nature, river beside our campsite, very nice ladies running reception and supermarket
- Motorcycle noise from nearby road is often quite loud - On site restaurant / snack bar doesnt look inviting - Neighbours too close, no separation from next pitch.
Accommodation review
Great pitch, right beside the river and still near reception
No hedges or trees separate the pitch from the neighbours. This should be standard, in our opinion. Especially when the neighbours have a large motorhome or a trailer, it feels too close, even though this is a XXL pitch!
Establishment response :
Hello ! Thank you for taking the time to review the campsite :) We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the setting, location nature and river beside the pitches :) Regading the hedges separating the pitches, it is a choice from us :) For us camping is also about conviviality :) We do have some pitches with hays in zone Center and the pitches in zone Hauteurs also have a lot of privacy :) Regards !

The location, the peaceful aura and calmness and being close to nature. The kid enjoyed it too.
Nothing really, everything was perfect during our stay. It was a bit far from Monaco but it was worth the drive.it would be perfect if the area for pitches were we stayed is full of grass and not just soil. Nonetheless everything was perfect and i would still highly recommend it.
Accommodation review
The place is so peaceful and calm. Sleeping with the sound of nature, birds chirping, current of the river flowing was so relaxing. The price for the tent was reasonable, they have mini supermarket for the basic things you need. Friendly staff, nice mini park for the kids, heated pool, clean toilets, clean showers, spacious area for the kids to play and run freely.
As a recommendation they should have tables to eat around the places for the tent. That would be great.
Establishment response :
Oh thank you :) It means a lot to us :) We're glad you enjoyed the location, the quietness and the nature. It's very important to us :) Indeed the pitches in zone Verdon are not very grassy but it's because the river which is soooo close to the pitches bring so much sand that the grass can't hold :( We do have picnic table at the bbq area next to the terrain de pétanque :) Have a great day !

The site is lovely and has a real charm to it. The location is outstanding and it has a real natural feel to it. The river is extremely relaxing and a great way to spend time cooling off on a hot day. Staff are friendly and helpful and the amenities are clean.
There were 2 areas that I think need addressing. The first is the bakery offer at the shop. One of the best bits of a holiday in France is enjoying the superb quality bread. Unfortunately the baguettes sold at the shop are the worst I've ever tasted in France. This meant that I had to travel into Castellane to buy bread most days. I used Le Fournil which were truly excellent. The second is the onsite restaurant. Last time I visited this was busy and made excellent pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven. Now it's very poor and the pizzas are not good.
Accommodation review
Location and outlook with plenty of shade
Could do with being a bit larger and there were a lot of stones on the pitch, making it easy to damage your groundsheet

Fantastic pitch, right by the river. Spacious. Easy access to water and electricity. Great location for exploring Gorges du Verdon and surrounding area
No wifi. Cost us a lot of money in extra roaming charges. Despite notices saying that the showers/toilets etc were cleaned four times a day, the facilities were often not very clean. There was no cold water available in the wash basins and ironically there was no direct supply of hot water to the washing up sinks, just a single hose sticking out of the wall with a tap on it for hot water by the sinks which you had to use to fill up a bucket or bowl to take to your sink. It's a shame. Some of the notices and advertisements were several years out of date and untidy
Accommodation review
Superb spacious pitch with good electricity supply and easy access to water. Great location right by the river. Level pitch.

Ecolodge was well equipped for a comfortable two night stay. We cooked one night and ate out the next.
Wall tent is plastic do at first it was really hot but it cooled right down at night and the fan helped keep flies away.
Accommodation review
It had everything we needed
It was a little pricey
Establishment response :
Thank you Heidi ! We're happy that you enjoyed your short but intense stay in the ecolodge :) Yes indeed, the ecolodges whch are directly next to the river can get pretty warm during the day, even if there is a fan :( But the night are cooler and it gets very confy being inside :) Have a very nice day !

Nous etions ici en mai quand il y avait tres peu de monde. On etait 6 -10 campeurs dans le camping. Je ne voudrais pas rester ici a haute saison quand le camping est complet. le camping n'etait pas encore pret pour la saison - mauvaises herbes partout dans l'aire de jeux, electricite en panne dans moitie des lavabos, quelques toilettes pas tres propres, etc.
pas tout a fait pret pour la saison
Accommodation review
tres spacieux and tres proche de la riviere avec beaucoup de dl'ombrage
pas beaucoup d'herbe
Establishment response :
Bonjour Maureen ! Merci d'avoir pris le temps de donner votre avis ! C'est vrai que nous avons vécu un début de saison sur les chapeaux de roue parce que nous avons été un peu ambitieux sur les travaux : modernisation de certains chalets, installation de chauffe eau solaire pour le bloc sanitaire est, prévention des incendies... Tout est désormais en place :) Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau ! Nina
