Pitch

  • In Provence, between the Luberon and Alpilles natural parks
  • Among tiny traditional villages 30 kilometres from Avignon
  • Tennis court and clean modern amenities; free access to community pool
This Provence site is pretty well set: two kilometres from the old town of Cavaillon, at the foot of the Luberon mountains in the Luberon Regional Park and within easy driving distance of Provence villages, castles, vineyards and festivals galore. And – if you also crave sand on a French hol, it's less than an hour from some spectacular Mediterranean beaches too. Camping La Durance is a big and family-friendly site, with spacious mixed pitches by hedges or under shady trees. A good cluster of facilities (including a tennis court) should keep the troops busy during site-based hours, and as an added bonus guests have free access to the community swimming pool next door. There's also been plenty of attention given to the clean modern amenities of toilet blocks with free hot showers, a launderette and a washing-up area. Sort supplies for a pitchside supper in the shops and Monday market of nearby Cavaillon, or stick around in town for foodie evenings and Provence specialties in the local restaurants and bars.

What customers say

Guests consistently praise the spacious pitches, cleanliness of the facilities, and the friendly, helpful staff. The direct access to a swimming pool and proximity to attractions and shops are highlighted as significant advantages. Some guests noted that the site offers a peaceful and tranquil environment. Minor points raised include the access barrier being tight for larger caravans and occasional noise from a nearby train. The lack of on-site activities and certain sanitary amenities like soap and toilet paper were also mentioned.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst. Ruime plaatsen. Zeer nette sanitaire installaties.
's morgens om 8.00 was men de sanitaire blok reeds aan het kuisen.

Disliked Het water van de douches mocht wat warmer zijn.

From the manager: Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie beoordeling en de score van 9/10 !
Aan het begin van het seizoen moeten we altijd een beetje zoeken naar de goede temperatuur van het water. We zullen dit snel aanpassen.

Guillermo M.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Todo, la atención en la recepción, la higiene y estado de los baños, el servicio de lavandería que usamos, la parcela, que era plana completamente y amplia, el estado de la jardinería, la tranquilidad, la opción de acceso de las piscinas y la posibilidad de disponer de varias rutas en bici exclusivamente desde el camping que te brindan diferentes distancias. Un camping para volver

Disliked Único comentario, los hombres solo pueden acceder al baño en la piscina con bañador de natación por motivos de higiene, pero esto no tiene nada que ver con el camping ya que es municipal, pero el acceso desde el camping es directo.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Muchísimas gracias por compartir su experiencia con tanto detalle.
Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la atención, la limpieza, las instalaciones y la tranquilidad del camping, así como de las rutas en bici y el acceso a las piscinas. Comentarios como el suyo nos motivan a seguir trabajando para que cada estancia sea agradable.
En cuanto a la normativa del uso del bañador en la piscina municipal, comprendemos su observación y agradecemos que haya destacado que no depende del camping.
Será un placer recibirle de nuevo en su próxima visita.

From the manager: Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes ravis que l’emplacement du camping vous ait plu. En ce qui concerne l’ambiance, notre camping ne propose pas d’animations en soirée : nous privilégions volontairement le calme et la tranquillité afin que chacun puisse profiter de son séjour à son rythme. Selon la clientèle présente, certaines soirées peuvent être plus conviviales, d’autres plus paisibles.

Local attractions

Teeny and traditional rural villages are dotted around the Luberon region landscape, well within an hour's drive from Camping La Durance: try Gordes, Oppède, Mérindole, Roussillon, Rustrel and Lagnes for days' worth of sightseeing as well as potters around their traditional Provencal markets. Also about 30 kilometres away is the splendid old city of Avignon, on the left bank of the Rhône. Its most famed sights are the Palais des Papes, Avignon Cathedral and the Pont d'Avignon, all making up the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the town centre, but the views of the city over the river from the gardens of the Rocher des Doms are certainly not to be sniffed at, and its many museums (like the Petit Palais and the three floors of natural history at the Museum Requien) are also top city picks. Other good picks in the area are the Lavender Museum at Coustellet, the Thouzon cave or cave of fairies at Le Thor, the art shows at quarry Les Carrières de Lumière, the animals and nine kilometres of walking trails at Barben Zoo, and the high bike rides around Mont Ventoux, nicknamed the Beast of Provence for its jelly-legged tough climbs.
