  • Peaceful mountain campsite with spectacular Lac du Lauzet-Ubaye views
  • Watersports 10 minutes’ walk; Fort de Dormillouse half an hour’s drive
  • Roomy glamping units with a pétanque court and access to alpine walks
In a stellar location overlooking Lac du Lauzet-Ubaye in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Camping Le Noyer du Baron is a peaceful spot surrounded by forest and backed by the rugged foothills of the Provençal Alps. And even better – spectacular on-site views extend down the Ubaye Valley to the village of Le Lauzet-Ubaye (10 minutes’ walk). Spacious glamping units are scattered over a hillside shaded by trees, each equipped with the basics (crockery, hanging space, proper beds) to make your stay effortless and comfortable. It’s all too easy to relax and put your feet up in this green and pleasant setting, but should you be looking for outdoorsy action, there’s plenty of that going on too. Simply head for the pétanque court and make new friends over a game or two, or take a family hike in the surrounding hills. Wander down to waterside Le Lauzet-Ubaye, where summertime life revolves around the lake and its facilities for paddleboarding, kayaking and swimming off the artificial beach.

Liked: one of those beautiful accidental discoveries! a great base for exploring this part of the French/Italian alps, we reached it via an easy scenic drive to/from Turin it's rated 2 star but its proper French 2 star (perhaps because there's no catering/pool?) deserves more imho. a quiet mature (50+ years now?) beautifully appointed old school clearly very well maintained spotless site which is what we hoped for situated in a lovely accessible part of the valley, rafting and watersports a short walk away, Barcelonette a lovely town few mins drive away for the Carrefour and lots of other interesting things too... despite soaring temperatures at time of travel in late August (it touched 40degC out and about couple of the days) the shade works very nicely at the campsite to keep things in check: up to mid morning and from teatime onwards so with the well planted mature trees and the gentle mountain breeze coming thru it cooled right down and we could get a great nights sleep! zero bugs mozzy problems etc. we stayed in one of their Tepees, in vgc and all gear supplied worked. washing facilities lovely and clean and again everything worked we had a special needs child with us and the layout was excellent and all very safe also the site owner Agnès was very accessible and friendly and gave us plenty of local tips for sightseeing etc.

Disliked: literally nothing! its one of the best value sites I've stayed in, we will return someday

Local attractions

Rambles abound in the alpine foothills; stroll up to the single-span Pont Roman (15 minutes’ walk) for views over the Ubaye River, or take the route up to the Fontaine de l’Ours (two hours and 20 minutes) for the kids to find the wooden bear sculpture among the pine trees. For a longer hike, take the car up to Lac du Lauzerot (50 minutes’ drive, have a swim while you’re there) and set out on foot through alpine pastures to the natural springs at the Source de Jérusalem (three hours and 40 minutes’ walk) mountain viewpoint. Ramp up activity levels even further with white-water rafting on the Ubaye River Gorge (five minutes) or canyoning along its steep sides. See how monks once lived with tour of the Romanesque church and peaceful, flower-filled cloisters at Abbaye Notre-Dame de Boscodon (40 minutes’ drive), or follow the steep former military trail some 8,000 feet up into the mountains to the Fort de Dormillouse (half an hour) to watch paragliders floating around the mountain peaks.
