Camping Les Collines de Castellane

It’s hard to source bargain accommodation in the middle of the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon. So this well-regarded ‘camp village’ a few miles from the Gorges and Lac du Castillon is a steal. You don’t have to pitch your own tent; chalets and mobile homes for four to six people come with adequate kitchens. They spread out over mountain pasture surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The big draw here is the vast camp swimming pool, complete with waterslides. There’s a new adventure park, too, plus volleyball and football tournaments. Older guests are catered to with themed evenings, hiking maps, and free electric bike rental.
