A 5-star campsite on the heights of Castellane
At the heart of the Verdon Natural Regional Park in the Alpes de Haute Provence, two kilometres from Castellane, with the label “village et cité de caractère” (on account of the town’s heritage and tourism promotion), the Terra Verdon campsite has been established, on a wooded and verdant site of several hectares. Surrounded by mountains, the latter enjoys a sublime setting and it could not be more calming, at an altitude of nearly 1,000 metres!
Certain pitches on this resort are reserved for campers. Having an average area greater than 90 m², these spacious pitches are either shaded or semi-shaded. Each one has an electrical connection point and a mains water point. They can accommodate between 1 and 6 people.

From the 2 to 3 bedroom mobile home to the tent allowing holidaymakers to be at one with nature, there is something to suit every taste and budget. Ideal for a glamping stay in the great outdoors, these tents offer far more comfort than may, at first, be apparent.

...and the superb Gorges du Verdon.
Verdon Natural Regional Park is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful natural sites in France. A stay in this 5-star Castellane campsite, a genuine haven of peace within a region which is all too popular with tourists, enables you to enjoy the beauty of the Verdon river, from its wild countryside to its exceptional beauty and colours, which are indeed entrancing.
The finest canyon in Europe, the Gorges du Verdon meanders between the cliffs and the mountains, emerging here and there across vast artificial lakes. These include the Lac d’Esparron, the Lac de Castillon and the Lac de Sainte Croix (all picturesque lakes forming part of the Gorges du Verdon). To appreciate the contours, what could be better than a descent by canoe or kayak? This is a descent which also enables you to stop for a relaxing break and a swim wherever you wish. The artificial lakes can enable you the chance to practice a multitude of nautical activities, such as windsurfing or water-skiing. Various water sports centres and artificial beaches have been developed around these lakes.
The picturesque town of Castellane, dominated by a rock 184 metres high, located two kilometres from the Terra Verdon campsite, houses a historic heritage which is significant, to say the least, with its fortified tower, church and ramparts. The Castellane fair, which is organised every month, brings together numerous small producers and artisans, whose stalls are packed with regional high-quality products. At the gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, Moustiers Sainte Marie – a picturesque historic heritage village officially designated as one of France’s ‘Most Beautiful Villages’ – is also well worth a visit...
