Not pre booked and reasonably easy to find just south of Sisteron.
Very friendly welcome to what was a potentially busy site that was cramped in some areas, whilst more open in others. Most pitches were separated by hedges but the planting regimes of some trees will create difficulties when accessing some pitches.
The lakeside camp has an excellent 3 pool complex plus waterslide. It offers a shop, restaurant, bar and entertainment high season. It must be said that during our visit (May so early season), it was very quiet and the weather dull so it was hard to get a more balanced view of what it might be like later in the summer, we could imagine that it might get a bit tight during high season.
Showers and WC’s very good.
Close by Sisteron is well worth a visit.

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?

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.
