Provence lies just inland of the Cote d'Azur. Most of the campsites are along the coast, on the Cote d'Azur, or French Riviera as it is better known. So if you want a camping holiday close to the sea, find out more about the Eurocamp campsites on the French Riviera.
The one campsite which offers a camping holiday in inland Provence itself is the Eurocamp Domaine du Verdon, near Castellane, deep in the hills of Provence. Castellane is on the RN85 between Dignes le Bains and Cannes.
The Domaine du Verdon lies on the River Verdon itself, with direct access. The campsite is large and very well equipped with all the amenities. There are 3 pools with slides, a restaurant and a pizzeria. But you won't want to spend all your time in the campsite, because the surrounding area is one of the most spectacular in France. Just to the north is the large Lake de Castillon, offering all the watersports in beautiful surroundings. In the opposite direction is the Canyon du Verdon which comes close to rivalling the Grand Canyon in terms of depth and length. There is a spectacular drive all around the rim of the canyon with plenty of opportunities for stopping to admire the vertiginous views.
And all this in the heart of Provence, in a landscape filled with the scents and sounds associated with this lovely part of France. Cannes and the coast of the French Riviera is just an hour and a half away, so you can even treat yourself to a dip in the Mediterranean, stopping en-route to sample the perfumes created at Grasse, the perfume capital of the World!
Flights are available to Nice Airport, where you can hire a car at competitive prices.
