  • Peaceful park with mountain views on the banks of the Var river
  • A 10-minute drive to Cians gorge and 10 mins’ walk to Puget-Théniers
  • Spacious communal lounge with library, wifi and board games
Pondering a getaway within a short drive of a protected natural park in the Alpes-Maritimes department…? Or how about a stay near not one but three natural parks instead? If that sounds like a hol especially tailored to you, book in at Camping Lou Gourdan, around half an hour’s drive from the edges of peak-covered Mercantour National Park, the towering Verdon Gorge and the forested hills of the Préalpes d'Azur… This site’s a hotspot for hiking in lush scenery without going too far at all – it also sits right on the Var river around a 10-minute drive from the Cians gorge, with mesmerising views of hills from its grounds. If the picnic basket needs filling for trips out canyoning, rafting, canoeing and climbing in the local area, shops selling French fare are in the pretty village of Puget-Théniers, 10 minutes’ walk away; buses and trains – including the traditional Pignes steam train with scenic views – also leave from here to the Côte d'Azur city of Nice (with journeys taking about an hour and a half). Staying on site for a while instead? Rest up in between adventures in the bright and spacious communal lounge with its free wifi and board games. A sports complex with a sauna, weight and fitness room, plus squash and tennis courts, is nearby as well if you’re not too tired after trekking… The toilet and shower facilities (with mixer taps rather than push buttons) at Camping Lou Gourdan are also modern and well maintained.

Liked: Camping super bien entretenu! Les sanitaires sont exemplaires ainsi que les tenanciers du camping. C’est très calme et super propre. Très bien localisé! Un réel plaisir d’avoir séjourné dans celui-ci ou on peut croiser des personnes de tout horizon.

Disliked: A 21hr, le calme plat et extinction des lampes. Tellement calme, qu’il y a de quoi être mal à l’aise avec 2enfants en bas âge qui débordent d’énergies…

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Lovely, clean and modern facilities, including toilet roll which is always good. The guests were quiet. Beautiful little town, we had a delicious meal at Le Coste. On the Sunday morning there was a classic car meeting taking place just down the road which was great to see and then as we were leaving we saw a steam train at the station.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: I was given a warm welcome on arrival to this exceptional site. The to the care and attention paid to the design and upkeep of the site is impressive. Easily the best facilities of any site I have stayed on. Great landscaping, pitches, good security system, lovely recreation room and good communal spaces. Cafe on site but also a lovely town square with a great bakery for breakfast! Easy access by bus and train to the villages in the valley and also into Nice and the airport.

Local attractions

You might need to book several weeks off work to maximise your time in this activity-packed area: there are many mountain biking trails to take – ask on site for recommendations – as well as cool canyons including Riolan, AIglun and the Saint-Auban (all less than 50 minutes’ drive away) for fishing and dips in clear waters. Enroute, explore mountain towns for a look at alpine life: Entrevaux, under 10 minutes’ drive away, has a medieval fortress and houses spilling down a hilltop while Annot (just over 20 minutes) is a pretty place with a backdrop of unusually shaped sandstone boulders. For driving trips a touch further on, get in the car and head towards Mercantour National Park through Clans for the Col de la Bonette – the highest paved road in Europe – or take another route via Cians to see the red-rock gorge. Southwards takes you away from the mountains and down to the coast, with the popular city of Nice being an hour and 10 minutes’ drive.
