Camping Le Val de Durance ^★★★★

This was our fourth visit to Val de Durance, and our last because we've exhausted it. The scenery is great, the site very good, the places to visit enormous, but if every time you return you have severe problems parking it makes for hell. Plus, the male Eurocamp guy make be wonderful dealing with ants,... but when it come to people he hasn't a clue: a humourless, complacent creature who thinks he knows everything, and doesn't like things repeated: repetition is how people learn!

First time customer. We reserved a Riviera mobilhome with A/C. Lots of trees and no mosquitoes. Restaurant is good and not too pricey. Pizza for carryout is a must. Swimming pool is small but we enjoyed the lake instead. Entertainment is nice. A big Thank You to Theo (animateur) from the kid's club.... We are giving a 4 stars because of their wifi access. Only 30 minutes every 6 hours is free and you have to stand next to the restaurant or front desk. Their wifi is weak as we could not send pics either. We ended up going to Super U (grocery store) if we needed to call or send pics as they have good wifi and it's free all day long. Homair needs to review its wifi policy.
Other than that, we had a nice stay and enjoyed every minutes of it.

Pleasant site in a rural location 2KM from Cadenet. The staff were helpful & friendly, especially Patricia.
Restaurant/barwere reasonably priced. Site shop stocked the basics & bread was available daily.
Lake was the best feature& great for swimming & fishing.
Best markets were in Apt & Salon de Provence... & had free shuttles to & from the town centre.

We stayed here with Eurocamp as 3 adults in a caravan. The caravan pitches are quite small by French standards. Parking is directly alongside the pitch. The site is not too big and easily navigable. The undoubted highlight for us was the large lake with beach. Great for a swim after a hot day sight-seeing.... The on-site shop is small but well stocked for essentials and not too costly. Fresh bread is baked throughout the day on site. The restaurant / bar is a pleasant outdoor space with a limited menu. The site is walking distance from Cadenet but the route is uninspiring along the access road. There is a large Super U supermarket 10 minutes away at Puyvert. Generally, we found Val de Durance to have a relaxed ambience and an excellent location for visiting the many beautiful attractions of Provence.

Beautiful camping where you will feel in the middle of nature. Stayed for 11 nights in June and it was very peaceful, although the camping was full. We loved that every mobil-home is surrounded by trees, and that every morning and evening we had birds and the famous cigale in concerts. The mobil-home... was quite clean and fully equipped, including a fridge, microwave and a gas stove and oven. We had mosquito nets for some window (necessary in June, you might want to bring your own to cover all the windows). The rooms are small but you will have enough place to put the clothes and other necessary things. Good beds and pillows. Parking spot in front of the mobil-home, which is very practical. Hot water all day long.

There is a beautiful lake with a sand beach in the camping, as well a a pool with a slide (there are also 2 small separate pools for babies). Plenty of sunbeds available both at the pool and the lake. In June there was no entry fee for the lake, but I think it might be one for July and August. The lake was perfect for swimming, considering the hot days we got there.

There is a small shop in the camping, with fresh baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat. We didn't try the restaurant, but it seemed ok.

The staff is nice and pretty much helpful.

The weak point was the Internet access. The camping provides free WIFI in the reception/restaurant area, but the connection is very weak (impossible to send a picture, to read emails or to make a call). The internet sessions are limited to 1 hour and then you have to wait 6 hours in order to be able to go online again. You can also buy tickets for internet access, starting with 6 euros/ 1 hour, but we taught it was quite expensive since there are a lot of places everywhere offering free wifi.

Cadenet village is 3 km away and the market on Mondays is very good. There are a lot of producers selling vegetables and fruits on the roadside.
