Emilie's opinion

Dreaming of discovering the Verdon Gorge? This campsite is made for you! From the campsite you can access the Lake of Castillon: allow about 20 min to walk down (a bit more on the way back 😉), but it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the panorama. Kids will love the new Patau-Splatch as well as the large Azalée play area! Nature lovers or great sports enthusiasts, the famous hikes (the Blanc-Martel trail or the Route des Crêtes) are right nearby. And don’t miss the delightful Provençal markets (Castellane, Colmars, Entrevaux) where it’s a real pleasure to stroll in summer.

Emilie's opinion

I absolutely love this little family campsite located in Fayence, right in the heart of Provence! It is super quiet and well-equipped, with its pool, jacuzzi, and paddling pool.

Here, you are just 30-40 minutes from the beaches (Fréjus, Mandelieu…), and around you, there are lots of charming little villages to visit (Seillans, Callian), Lake Saint-Cassien for picnicking or pedal boating, and even the red calanques of Estérel if you want to feast your eyes on stunning views.

It’s the perfect place to unplug with your family, without straying too far from the sea!
