Plenty to experience

Sports, fun and activities are the key words at l'Hippocampe. The activity clubs are divided up by age: so there is a "baby club" for toddlers (4 to 6 years), and a mini club for the age group 6 to 9 years. There are workshops, cooking classes, treasure hunts and performances organized. For the 9 to 13 year olds and older youths, there are teenager clubs with all kinds of sports tournaments, creative workshops, swimming pool games and a weekly show. On special thing is the many activities taking place in a yurt.

Fishing and canoeing

At the location of the camping site, the river Durance is so wide it has created a lake. You cannot swim in this lake, but you can fish. Also fun: take a water bike or canoe out onto the water. The camping sites are reasonably spacious, primarily flat and on grass.

The campsites with electricity are located in a orchard and are intended for tents and pop up campers. The comfort sites for caravans and campers (and also tents) have individual water and waste lines. You can also pitch a little tent for free on all sites. For campers, there is also a camper stop with a service area available for a special rate.

L Rieder, on this campsite in May 2018

9.0

Travelling party: Seniors

the first site out of season to have a fully functioning restaurant and take away service.
Could not fault the staff or the site. Sanitary facilities the best we encountered on our month long trip. Showers hot and powerful. What more can you ask for?

Travelling party: Seniors

Friendly welcome. Large site with plenty of pitches to choose from. Access roads a little tight for long caravans (our two were 7.2 and 8 metres) when negotiating corners. An enjoyable stay.
