  • 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.

Great campsite, friendly staff, clean facilities, big pitches. Pool access a bonus! Near town but limited shade & Wi-Fi only at reception. Some road noise & bugs.

Rae R.

Power optional concrete and grass site (comfort)

Liked On arrival the lady in the office, from Belgium, couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.......1st impression. She then took the trouble to come out to the pitch and suggest a better, more shaded one........2nd impression. The facilities were absolutely spotless and not a sponsored walk for anyone on the site. .....3rd impression. There were sporting facilities alongside the site including a swimming pool. .....4th impression. And finally it was a short walk made shorter on the advice of the lady at reception to the town centre. Could ot fault this site.

Disliked Having to leave.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your note! Always a pleasure to communicate with interesting people. Hope to receive you a next time in the future. The belgian lady.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour,
Merci d'avoir partagé votre expérience !
Nous sommes ravis que la propreté et l'accueil vous aient plu, ce sont des priorités pour nous.

Concernant l'emplacement, nous proposons des zones ombragées pour les tentes. Cependant, comme vous aviez réservé un emplacement confort et souhaitiez être à côté d'une autre famille, nos options étaient limitées. Nous avons fait de notre mieux pour trouver des emplacements côte à côte, faciles pour planter votre tente.

Nous espérons que vous avez tout de même passé un excellent séjour et serions ravis de vous revoir !

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’accès à la piscine, la propreté et l’accueil.

Concernant le bruit de la route, malheureusement, c’est un élément extérieur que nous ne pouvons pas maîtriser.
Nous comprenons que cela puisse gêner certaines personnes sensibles au bruit. Selon la direction du vent, le bruit peut parfois être plus perceptible.

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !

MICHEL R.

Power optional concrete and grass site (comfort)

Liked L'accueil à la réception et la disponibilité de la gérante.
Propreté des sanitaires (malgré le manque de papier toilette)

Disliked Manque d'ombre sur l'emplacement. Mais surtout nous avions fait ce choix pour l'accès à la piscine qui malheureusement n'était pas ouverte. Et les abords de la rivière Durance non accessible

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous laisser un avis.
Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que votre expérience n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes, notamment en ce qui concerne la piscine. L'information sur le site web par lequel vous avez réservé était en effet erronée. Nous l'avons immédiatement corrigé cette erreur pour éviter toute nouvelle déception.

Nous prenons bonne note de votre remarque concernant la Durance. Il est vrai que la baignade y est fortement déconseillée en raison des courants dangereux et de l'accès difficile, voire impossible. Nous apprécions que vous souleviez ce point, car il est important d'informer nos visiteurs sur les risques potentiels.

Malgré ces désagréments, nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié l'accueil et la propreté de nos sanitaires. Votre satisfaction sur ces points est pour nous une source d'encouragement.

Happy Experience

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.
