  • 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.

MICHEL R.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite (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

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

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite (comfort)

Liked Friendly reception. Easy access pitches . Tidy partition hedges . Clean, tidy and warm site
Supermarkets just down the road

Disliked Access barrier slightly tight for long caravans but manageable

From the manager: Thank you so much for your positive review!
We're pleased that our services have met your expectations!
The entrance is indeed a little difficult for large caravans, but if you phone us before coming, we can open the exit barrier for a more comfortable entry.
Thank you for your visit. We look forward to seeing you again.

Clive J.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite (comfort)

Liked Access to swimming pool, plenty of amenities and very accessible.

Disliked No plugs in any sinks and no toilet paper supplied or hand towels, soap or hand driers, kerbs upto pitches making siting the caravan more difficult were the only negatives

From the manager: Thank you very much for your excellent rating and for taking the time to share your impressions!
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the pool access, the multitude of facilities and the ease of access. Your recommendation to your friends and your wish to return are the nicest compliments we could receive.

We look forward to welcoming you back !

Neil B.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite (comfort)

Liked How helpful the owner was, particularly when trying to find the site

Disliked Got bit numerous times from either mosquitoes or grass spiders

From the manager: Dear Neil,

Thank you very much for your kind review.
We like to help our guests to make the most of their stay.
We had indeed problems this season with the wifi that we didn't manage to solve. Measures are planned to resolve this.
Sorry about the bites, but there are things we can't control. We've never had as many mosquitoes as this year.
We hope to see you again if you are in the neighbourhood.
Kind regards

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.
