This family-run campsite in the Ubaye valley consistently earns rave reviews for its warm hospitality and stunning natural setting. The owners and staff are repeatedly described as exceptionally friendly, attentive, and eager to share local tips. Nestled among pines near the Ubaye river, the campsite offers a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere ideal for relaxation. Spacious pitches, many shaded by trees, provide ample privacy and a sense of freedom. The swimming pool is a standout feature, often praised for its size and cleanliness, with a paddling area for children. Families appreciate the playground, bouncy castle, and organized kids' activities during peak season. The on-site snack bar and restaurant serve popular pizzas, burgers, and local specialties, creating a convivial evening vibe. Cleanliness across the site, especially in the sanitary blocks, is frequently commended, with reports of thorough cleaning. The location serves as an excellent base for outdoor adventures, including hiking, cycling over legendary cols, kayaking, and river drifting. Direct access to mountain passes and trails is a major draw for motorcyclists and hikers alike. The nearby town of Barcelonnette offers markets and cafes, adding convenience to the stay. Minor drawbacks include weak or paid WiFi, with limited connectivity only near the reception. Some guests note that hot water in the showers can run cold during peak use or that fixtures feel dated. Road noise is occasionally mentioned for pitches near the entrance, particularly in the morning. The restaurant may close in low season, and evening entertainment is limited after mid-August. Overall, guests highlight the exceptional value for money, with many expressing a strong desire to return. The campsite strikes a delightful balance between comfortable amenities and a preserved, nature-focused camping spirit. The warm, attentive team and beautiful mountain backdrop create an inviting retreat for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
