"Great place for a stopover - We used the site as a stopover on the way to the Cote Azur. Friendly staff, flexible, good restaurant. We got a pitch right on the river without a reservation. Large pitch, cleanliness of the pitches; well. Legacies of the previous owner should be cleared away. Sanitary facilities in need of renovation. Great pool area.

"Always beautiful - Satisfied customers for almost 30 years, we first came with our child to cycle and get to know the surrounding area. There is beautiful countryside, small roads with little traffic and the village of Volonne is also beautiful, criss-crossed by idyllic footpaths with cafés. We particularly appreciate the friendliness of the staff at the acceuil and the always courteous and generous treatment by the management.

"Beautifully situated, but not beautifully managed - The campsite is fully booked in August and there are events in the evenings. So it can be noisy at times. We also had the misfortune of a French family living in the bungalow next to our pitch, who preferably turned up their ghetto blaster at full volume on their terrace, and the site management only intervened after several requests and then only very hesitantly. The sanitary facilities are, as on most campsites in the south of France, rather basic and no longer clean during the day. The pool is very nice, as is the location on the Durance (swimming is forbidden there, but you can take your own or hire a boat). The compulsory wearing of a wristband as a "site pass" is quite common on such large campsites, but still bothers me. The site is firmly in French and Dutch hands, you can't get any further with German, but you can manage with English. Volonne itself is small, but there are large supermarkets nearby (10km) for shopping, and the range of restaurants in Volonne itself is not too large, but there are plenty in the surrounding area.

"For a short time - We were passing through, so the campsite was sufficient for one night. Otherwise, I found the pitches mostly impossible and some of them looked unkempt. Some of the poop that had been there for a while was clearly visible. The pitches facing the water were better and those in the front row with a direct view were of course in high demand. It was quiet due to the low season. The swimming pool area looked very inviting and the staff were very friendly. You could also pay with a camping check, but the night was even cheaper than the check. Only cash payment was possible! Volonne itself is small and there's actually nothing special to see there, so we wouldn't spend a longer vacation there
