Activities

In the heart of the Verdon, enjoy a vast natural playground! Hire a canoe or a paddleboard right on site and set off to explore the waters of the Verdon from our riverbank. On foot, head to the famous Baume Bonne cave or discover the 10 km of hiking trails that wind through our estate.

For a change of pace, test your skills at our archery range, or enjoy a game of pétanque, volleyball or table tennis. The more energetic can also join our early-morning group trail runs, to discover the trails and outstanding scenery around the Verdon.

Fancy a different way to stay active? Depending on the entertainment programme, join our aqua aerobics sessions in the pool or our outdoor strength training classes, held in the morning on the higher ground of the estate. A fitness area with a few machines is also available for you to keep fit at your own pace.

During the French school holidays, younger guests have their own programme too! The kids’ club, for children up to 10, usually offers activities in the morning, while the teens’ club, for ages 10 to 16, tends to meet in the afternoon or evening.

These activities are generally offered during the French summer school holidays, until 25 August. The detailed programme and times are displayed each week on a dedicated noticeboard at the campsite.

And maybe something new for 2027! An Aqua Jump activity, run by an independent operator, could be added to the water-based leisure options near the campsite. A new way to enjoy the Verdon and get your adrenaline going!

Bijzonder mooie en ruime camping. Het terrein is gigantisch, maar met erg weinig campingplaatsen/acccomodaties. Wij hadden een mooie safaritent met een prachtig uitzicht. Je komt hier echte tot rust. Er is toegang tot de rivier, maar dat is even zoeken. Het zwembad is wat ouder maar prima, en rustig. De mensen zijn erg vriendelijk. Bij het restaurant kun je goed eten tegen een redelijk prijs. Er hangt een hele fijne en ontspannen sfeer.

Amazing, beautiful, plenty of space

Véronique Fabert

Superbe camping, en pleine nature, au calme, bien loin de toutes ces grosses structures que l’on trouve partout aujourd’hui. Idéal pour déconnecter et se ressourcer. Situation stratégique pour visiter la région, puisqu’il se situe à environ 30 minutes des sites remarquables du secteur. De belles randonnées à faire dans la région, sans compter que certaines peuvent se faire directement au départ du camping. Nous venons d’y passer deux semaines, et on ne peut que recommander. Les propriétaires et les salariés sont très sympathiques et accueillants. Nous leur souhaitons tout le succès possible dans leur aventure! Véronique et Sébastien.

Camping très agréable et calme, les mobils homes sont neufs devant un très grand espace naturel, avec aucun vis-à vis. Un staff accueillant et professionnel. restaurant simple et efficace. Je recommande fortement

Sabine Laurency

Séjour en mobil home très sympa, ils sont quasi neufs, et de bonne qualité. Peu de vis-à-vis avec les voisins, beaucoup d'espace entre tous, au calme sur un terrain immense. Accès au Verdon depuis le camping pour les activités aquatiques. Nous avons également bien mangé au restaurant du camping. Bel accueil des propriétaires et du personnel ! Un grand merci à eux... Je recommande vivement cette adresse pour les vacances, en famille ou entre amis !

What a charming nature campsite! The incredibly friendly staff immediately create a relaxing vibe. Their genuine passion for the site—and all the beautiful things they are building—is great to see. They were also very helpful with planning day trips and sharing great local tips. Our pitch was lovely, spacious, and very peaceful. The food is also highly recommended: you can enjoy a delicious dinner for a very fair price in the cozy courtyard. Furthermore, the surroundings are stunning and perfect for hiking, swimming, and canoeing. Thank you for the warm welcome; we wish you the best of luck with your beautiful place!

Camping parfait pour ceux qui aiment la tranquillité. Nous avions le mobil home 69 fin août . Pas de bruit , de grands espaces...on a du mal à cerner les limites de propriété c'est ce qui en fait son charme. Des sentiers de randos depuis le camping...vers la grotte de Quinson , les bords du lac d'Artignosc et ailleurs . Le personnel est super. Merci Antoine et votre famille pour tout . Resto familial , ne ratez pas la soirée Pinsa... Machine a laver neuve et utilisation facile. Piscines suffisantes pour se détendre ou s amuser . Les mobils home sont neufs....mais on est bien d accord mon cher Antoine que les ingénieurs de chez T.....O ont fait un peu n importe quoi 😂! Il est demandé de respecter les stationnements au parking pour éviter que le devant des mobils home ne se transforment en concession automobile ( plutôt Renault cette année j'ai trouvé 🤣)...et c'est normal de se garer au parking. Que dire d'autre....ah oui ....on a très envie de revenir. Bien le bonjour du cantal et bonne continuation pour tous vos projets.... Pierre et Angélique et nos 3 enfants

Nous avons passé une belle semaine au sein de ce camping en pleine nature :) Le mobil home est bien équipé avec une terrasse spacieuse. Le personnel est très gentil, mention spécial au directeur qui a accepté que l’on change de Mobil home (la vue ne nous convenait pas) et également au barman qui est très gentil, simple et jovial. Nous avons dîné une fois au sein de leur restaurant et c’était très bon. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir si l’opportunité se présente.

Lieu exceptionnel avec des propriétaires et personnels chaleureux et qui mettent tout en œuvre pour que vous passiez d'excellentes vacances. C'est devenu notre petit havre de paix depuis plusieurs années maintenant. Merci à vous et à très vite
