Campsite Sunêlia l’Hippocampe is located in the town of Volonne, in the heart of Haute-Provence and on the river Durance. The typical Provençal landscape with lavender fields, sunflowers and olive trees surrounds the property. L'Hippocampe is a large family campsite with many excursions and activity programmes for all ages. There is a water park with two large heated pools, a kiddie pool, five water slides, a sunbathing area with lounges and a jacuzzi. Since 2024, the campsite has an additional area with pitches of 100m², 130m², 170m², and 260m². It includes a private reception with a shop and bakery, a beach bar, a sports field, and a 3400m² lagoon.

Plenty to experience

Sports, fun and activities are the key words at l'Hippocampe. The activity clubs are divided up by age: there are children's clubs for mini kids aged 4-9 and for children aged 9-13. These are both open in July and August. Workshops, cooking lessons, treasure hunts and performances are organised. For teenagers aged 13 and over there is the Teens club, with all kinds of sports tournaments, creative workshops, pool games and a weekly show. A special feature is that many activities take place in a yurt.

Fishing and canoeing

At the location of the campsite, 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 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.

Liked - Mooie camping, goed groot zwembad, caravan plekken aan de rivier erg mooi maar zorg dat je bij een boom staat voor schaduw kan erg heet worden. Nederlandse dame bij de receptie geeft goede tips voor dagjes uit.
Disliked - In juni waren de meeste faciliteiten gesloten. In verband met groepen mensen van bedrijven die seminars kregen van enkele dagen. En verhuur aan scholen. De snack shop hebben wij nooit open gezien, de winkel soms 2 uurtjes van 0800H tot 1000H. Het restaurant ook diverse avonden gesloten voor eigen camping publiek. Maar helaas betaal je wel het dure campings tarief maar faciliteiten zijn veelal gesloten. (Zwembad was wel open)
