RCN les Collines de Castellane
Nestled in the stunning Castellane region, this campsite rewards visitors with spectacular views and spacious, beautifully terraced pitches. The setting is undeniably magnificent, offering a wonderful base for hiking and exploring the surrounding nature. Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, many of whom speak multiple languages, making communication easy and contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The large swimming pool area is a central highlight, though it is unheated and can feel chilly, and its size may feel inadequate during peak times. Fresh bread and croissants are available each morning, a lovely touch that starts the day right. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals, though some wish for healthier menu options and a more shaded terrace. While the pitches are generous and offer privacy, many are on slopes or terraces, requiring a steep climb to reach the upper areas or facilities. This can be a challenge for those with heavy caravans, though staff can assist with a tractor if arranged in advance for a small fee. The sanitary facilities receive mixed reviews; some find them clean, but others report them as outdated, poorly maintained, and with unreliable showers that often lack hot water. Cleanliness across the site has been inconsistent, with some areas described as impeccably tidy and others needing attention. The campsite is generally quiet at night, but some periods are marred by noise from chalet occupants or vehicles, with little supervision after hours. Families appreciate the football field and pool for children, but the entertainment program is minimal, and organized activities are scarce, especially in the off-season. Dogs are welcome, and there are facilities for walking them. A Sunday church service held on-site is a unique highlight for some visitors. The on-site shop has limited products and restricted hours, which can be inconvenient. Overall, the campsite offers a pleasant atmosphere and a strong sense of being well looked after, but its appeal is tempered by notable shortcomings in facility upkeep and the physical demands of the terrain.
