  • Family-friendly site near Gargas in the Luberon National Park
  • A 15-minute drive from the Colorado Provençal site
  • Swimming pool, aquagym classes, beach volleyball and kids' activities
Any painters passing through the Luberon National Park would be well advised to pack pretty much their entire palette, for this is a très colourful area. It even inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne, and you may have heard that they knew a thing or two about landscapes...? Should you fancy following in their footsteps, you’ll be needing your purples for the lavender fields, your reds and oranges for the ochre rocks of the Colorado Provençal site, and a whole range of greens for the park’s lush hills. With any luck you’ll also be needing your blues for the skies, as this area boasts a rather fab 300 or so days of sunshine per year. Not an arty type? No problem – there’s plenty of other activity to fill your time at Domaine des Chênes Blancs, five minutes' drive from little Gargas. Head out for walks, bike rides, watersports, visits to ancient villages and foodie samples at the local markets, or hang around on site for swimming, aqua gym sessions, pétanque contests and games of beach volleyball or football (plus extra family-friendly activities laid on during the summer months). And if it was actually a period of splendid inactivity you were after? Spread your towel out for a sunbathing session on the poolside beach area or bag a table at the restaurant for leisurely grazing from the menu of snacks and drinks.

Liked: Bestelservice voor ontbijt. Schaduwrijke plaatsen. Voldoende groot. Je mag zelf kiezen bij aankomst.

Disliked: Personeel was niet vriendelijk. Receptie deed moeilijk dat we er om 15u waren. Volgens hun konden we pas inchecken om 16u. Ik heb hun de mail laten zien dat we om 15u konden inchecken, volgens hun was het een fout in de mail. 'Campingwinkel' was een stel planken in de receptie ruimte. Wat water, toiletpapier en melk aanwezig om te kopen. Restaurant was enkel open op do, vrij en zaterdagavond, dus geen gebruik van kunnen maken. Sanitair was niet proper.

Electric grass and earth pitch (large)

Liked: Lovely atmosphere of the site, very friendly reception and bar staff. Lots to do on site, swimming pool (which was welcome in 30 degree plus heat) shower block was clean and tidy at all times, 1.3KM up the road is a vineyard where you can do wine tasting. The mountain village of Gordes is 14 KM away, this is a place you MUST visit, French charm overload!

Disliked: No loo rolls or hand wash but most French sites don’t to be fair. And it was VERY windy there most of the time (nothing you can do about this)

Lynne M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and earth pitch (large)

Liked: We liked the location of this site being close to many of the well known beauty spots in Provence including Gordes and Roussillon. They swimming pool is generously proportioned with plenty of loungers. The surrounding area is very flat so great for cycling. Although no footpaths, there is little traffic so walking is easy too.

Disliked: It was great being in such a rural location but this means that there are no services such as supermarket, restaurants within easy walking distance. So if you are in a motorhome arrive we’ll stocked up. Wifi at the pitch has to be paid for.

Local attractions

Around its 120,000 hectares of forest, vineyard, mountains and gorges, the Luberon National Park has many hundreds of kilometres of walking trails catering for serious hikers and casual strollers. Other active options include paddling a canoe down the Sorgue river or swinging through the branches of a treetop adventure course – Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, half an hour away, is the place for both of these. A particularly memorable (and picworthy) place for a walk is the Colorado Provençal area: a15-minute drive from the site will take you to a spectacular landscape of reds, yellows and oranges, with stunning rock formations including natural fairy chimneys and manmade structures left by former ochre mines. For a spot of history and culture, make the 20-minute drive to Gordes to visit its 16th-century château and Stone Age village of bories, and take in some scenic views from its hilltop perch. A little closer to home are the prehistoric caves just outside Gargas, said by some to date back a whopping 27,000 years.
