  • Rural site on a farm 10 minutes' drive from Forcalquier
  • Canoe trips and hot air balloon flights within a 10-minute drive
  • Horse, pony and donkey riding available on site
If you like a bit of farmyard fun, you’ve come to the right place at Ferme Equestre Les Coccinelles, a rural site 10 minutes’ drive from fab Forcalquier. As you might have figured from the name, the main residents here are horses and ponies – and many are available for riding tours of the property and local area. Wherever you lie on the sliding scale from beginner to horse mad, owner Frédéric will match you up with a suitable equine partner before leading you out around the area. Once you’ve finished horsing around, sheep, lambs, donkeys and goats are also around waiting to be petted and fed, or you could wander down to the Lauzon river passing the farm’s border, to see if you can spot any aquatic wildlife and maybe have a paddle to cool down on a warm day. There’s peace and quiet in spades around here – depending on which part of the farm you choose to stay in, the main noises you’ll hear are either the trickle of the river or the chat of the farm animals. Wherever you base yourselves, you’ll not be far from the facilities of the main building, including toilets, showers and a washing machine. Free wifi is accessible around the site. Bistros aplenty are in the area for eating out; if you'd rather self cater, a supermarket and speciality grocery shops are in Forcalquier. Just remember not to eat your dins within goggling distance of the goats – they can be partial to nibbling just about anything you care to name...

What customers say

This peaceful farm stay is loved for its natural beauty, river access & friendly animals. Guests enjoyed the quiet & helpful hosts. Facilities are basic but clean, with good hot water & showers. Some noted old caravans & a long walk to facilities, with a few finding the site a bit unappealing.

Liked Location

Disliked When we drove on to the site we thought we had come on to a gypsy caravan site a lot of old caravans and scrap the toilet block was basic I am surprised that Pitch up have this on their site, first impressions count, we didn’t bother to set our tent up, sorry

From the manager: Hello, my clientele is mainly families who are close to nature and animals. There are indeed caravans being looked after on the way up to the farm, but this does not apply to temporary camping pitches.
You say the bathrooms are basic: two hot showers, two toilets, a sink, and a washing machine are available. I think you haven't taken the time to discover the place, its natural surroundings, and the peace and quiet.
Have a wonderful stay in France.
Frédéric Massé pour La Ferme Équestre Les Coccinelles

Bonjour, ma clientèle est essentiellement une clientèle familiale proche de la nature et des animaux, il y a effectivement des caravanes en gardiennage en montant à la ferme mais cela ne concerne pas les emplacements camping temporaire.
Vous dites que les sanitaires sont basiques : 2 douches chaudes, 2 toilettes, un évier, une machine à laver à disposition. Je pense que vous n'avez pas pris le temps de découvrir le lieu , son côté nature et le calme.
Beau séjour en France à vous.

Jak lubicie spokój i kontakt z przyrodą- to coś niesamowitego.

Liked Nice nature

Disliked Would not call this a campingsite, really not good facilities and very dirty. The place looks like a garbage. The owner didn't give us the change back when we paid for the rest of our stay. Wifi is not existing as it said in the information.

From the manager: Bonjour, je suis très étonné que malgré le temps passé à vous accueillir vous et vos chiens, vous puissiez mettre un avis négatif.
Le wifi est présent à proximité des bâtiments, il nécessite un code wifi que je vous ai donné, peut-être une mauvaise compréhension ?
Pour le reste, je cherche à comprendre …
Ah, oui je sais, je ne vous ai pas rendu votre monnaie car indisponible au moment de votre départ. Je ne vous ai pas vu partir.
Très cordialement, vous avez donc un crédit chez moi pour une prochaine fois comme je vous l'ai indiqué en réponse à votre whatsap …
Frédéric pour La ferme Equestre Les Coccinelles .


Hello, I am very surprised that despite the time spent welcoming you and your dogs, you can give a negative review.
Wifi is present near the buildings, it requires a wifi code that I gave you, perhaps a misunderstanding?
For the rest, I'm trying to understand...
Ah, yes I know, I didn't give you your change because it was unavailable when you left. I didn't see you leave.
Very cordially, you therefore have a credit with me for next time as I indicated to you in response to your whatsap...

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Everything was wonderful. Fantastic friendly hosts. Beautiful simple, rural farm setting. River with swimming. Horses, donkeys and friendly dog. If you like a quiet, tranquil, unbusy, non-commercial place to camp, this is just perfect. We were taken around the farm and to the small waterfall in the river where we swam.
Facilities fine. We loved it.

Local attractions

Fab Forcalquier a 10-minute drive is packed with old buildings to visit, including a 13th-century convent and a 12th-century cathedral. Take a walk too into the surrounding countryside to wander among the lavender fields and the mushroom-shaped rock formations of the mourres: pics essential. From the hilltop setting of Lurs, also a 10-minute drive away, potter out of the village along the Promenade des Eveques, to reach a small chapel among spectacular views of poppies, lavender and olive trees to the mountains beyond. Getting active, get out onto the Durance river via a kayak trip from Villeneuve, again 10 minutes from the farm. If you prefer to look down on your surroundings, take to the skies for an aerial view by joining a hot air balloon flight from Forcalquier: pics highly essential here too.
