Camping la Pinatelle

You’ll rarely have enjoyed a more beautiful view whilst in the water than at this campsite in Provence: from the toddler-friendly, heated swimming pool and the sun loungers surrounding it, you can see marvellous rock formations all around. Water sports enthusiasts will be in their element at Lake Castillon, where they can enjoy kayaking, pedalos and sailing. In the impressive Gorges du Verdon, rafting and canyoning are popular activities.

Your camping holiday in Saint-Auban, in this rustic valley – ideal for walks and sports tournaments – offers a mix of relaxation and activity. There’s a playground for the little ones, and you can enjoy a cosy get-together on the mini-golf course or over a game of billiards or table tennis. Dance parties are organised for young and old alike, and in the bar-restaurant you can tuck into a piping-hot pizza.

Marvel at the unspoilt natural beauty: lavender fields, cliffs and unique wildlife all vie for your attention. The caves of Saint-Cezaire or a spectacular walk along the Sentier Blanc-Martel, where many overcome their fear of heights, are unforgettable excursions. Picturesque villages such as Saint-Auban or La Garde, with its castle tower, are always worth a visit, or to pop along to the weekly market. Children have a brilliant time at Ludiparc. Cannes is a 1.5-hour drive away, so a visit to the world-famous harbour town is certainly an option. Ask at reception for details of the street markets and festival calendar.
