  • In Provence, between the Luberon and Alpilles natural parks
  • Among tiny traditional villages 30 kilometres from Avignon
  • Tennis court and clean modern amenities; free access to community pool
This Provence site is pretty well set: two kilometres from the old town of Cavaillon, at the foot of the Luberon mountains in the Luberon Regional Park and within easy driving distance of Provence villages, castles, vineyards and festivals galore. And – if you also crave sand on a French hol, it's less than an hour from some spectacular Mediterranean beaches too. Camping La Durance is a big and family-friendly site, with spacious mixed pitches by hedges or under shady trees. A good cluster of facilities (including a tennis court) should keep the troops busy during site-based hours, and as an added bonus guests have free access to the community swimming pool next door. There's also been plenty of attention given to the clean modern amenities of toilet blocks with free hot showers, a launderette and a washing-up area. Sort supplies for a pitchside supper in the shops and Monday market of nearby Cavaillon, or stick around in town for foodie evenings and Provence specialties in the local restaurants and bars.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: How helpful the owner was, particularly when trying to find the site

Disliked: Got bit numerous times from either mosquitoes or grass spiders

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Neil, Thank you very much for your kind review. We like to help our guests to make the most of their stay. We had indeed problems this season with the wifi that we didn't manage to solve. Measures are planned to resolve this. Sorry about the bites, but there are things we can't control. We've never had as many mosquitoes as this year. We hope to see you again if you are in the neighbourhood. Kind regards

Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les emplacements spacieux et ombragés, la propreté des sanitaires et la piscine intercommunal. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous avez été dérangé par du bruit au petit matin. Certains jours, il y a plus d'activité dans les alentours que d'autres jours.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: Good value including entrance to lovely public pool/recreation area. Friendly staff. Modern clean shower block. Shady pitch.

Disliked: Great for stopover but not much going on locally. Seemed to be a few homeless men staying on site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Tina, Thank you for your positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our campground to be a good value. Our team takes great pride in providing a friendly and accommodating atmosphere and we strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Although it looked like there were homeless men staying on site, this was not the case. They were (untypical) tourists. Thank you once again for choosing our campground for your stopover. We value your patronage and hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards

Very good town site.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your positive feedback and for taking the time to post this review. We am glad to see that you had a great customer experience with our staff on your overnight stay. The swimming pool is not part of the camping but a community swimmingpool. Normally there is a direct acces but the turnstile, which makes the entrance easier, was broken.

Local attractions

Teeny and traditional rural villages are dotted around the Luberon region landscape, well within an hour's drive from Camping La Durance: try Gordes, Oppède, Mérindole, Roussillon, Rustrel and Lagnes for days' worth of sightseeing as well as potters around their traditional Provencal markets. Also about 30 kilometres away is the splendid old city of Avignon, on the left bank of the Rhône. Its most famed sights are the Palais des Papes, Avignon Cathedral and the Pont d'Avignon, all making up the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the town centre, but the views of the city over the river from the gardens of the Rocher des Doms are certainly not to be sniffed at, and its many museums (like the Petit Palais and the three floors of natural history at the Museum Requien) are also top city picks. Other good picks in the area are the Lavender Museum at Coustellet, the Thouzon cave or cave of fairies at Le Thor, the art shows at quarry Les Carrières de Lumière, the animals and nine kilometres of walking trails at Barben Zoo, and the high bike rides around Mont Ventoux, nicknamed the Beast of Provence for its jelly-legged tough climbs.
