  • Riverside site on the edge of the Écrins National Park
  • 20 minutes from activities at Lac de Serre-Ponçon
  • Direct access to the Durance river for fishing and rafting
You’ve come all this way to Alps for your hols – you want to see the mountains, right? Consider then basing yourself at Camping New Rabioux, where you can gorge on peak views all day long, and from your own pitch to boot. But it’s not all about the mountains around here: the Durance river runs just past the site, for fishing, canoeing and rafting; if you're more of a dry land type, hire bikes from the site and head for the hills of the Écrins National Park; you’re just on the cusp of the park here so plenty of trails await nearby. Leisurely times can be had much closer to home too, at the heated outdoor pool or stretched out nearby for some quality reading/dreaming time. Table tennis, pétanque, volleyball and miniature golf await those who’d like to indulge their competitive streak, while tiddlers can expend energy climbing, jumping and sliding at the playground. And if it all gets too much, all ages can retreat to the calm environs of the TV room, or to the café for a cooling drink. Continue to gaze upon the gorgeous surroundings as you cook; no need to haul your own barbie over here as grills have been provided, along with picnic tables for alfresco eats. A small shop on site caters for basic needs including fresh bread in high season; it’s a 15-minute drive to a supermarket for your other eats and drinks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Staanplaats met schaduw, heerlijke pizza's bij het restaurant! Ligt direct aan de rivier met raft mogelijkheid.

Disliked: In de douchedeuren zitten gaten van de oude sloten... privacy technisch vond ik dit niet zo prettig.

Local attractions

A rafting centre five minutes’ walk from the site organises trips on the famed Rabioux Wave, a particularly pulse-raising section of the Durance river. You can also take canyoning trips from here, heading up into the mountains for climbing, jumping and wild swimming. Around 20 minutes away the river feeds into Lac de Serre-Ponçon, where you can fish, swim, clamber on the inflatable assault course, or hire kayaks or sailing boats. Lakeside paths are here for walking or cycling, or you could head up into the hills (a 10-minute drive from the lake) for a family-friendly donkey ride. Heaps of walking and cycle trails cross the Écrins National Park: if you’d like to take in a bit of history on your hols, start with a half-hour hike to Châteauroux-les-Alpes to see the remains of the castle. Later on, visit the pink ramparts of Mont-Dauphin, one of the 12 Vauban fortifications listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and about a 20-minute drive from the site.
