Our Experts Say
Selected because of its situation on the edge of the
Gorges du Verdon and its proximity to the pretty town of
Castellane. This large Castels site lies in a pretty valley
right on the edge of the stunning Gorges. Walking
distance of the centre of the town it has attractive
stone-faced buildings and spacious areas by the River
Verdon. The river is very low most of the time but the
dam is opened twice a week and it fills up for canoeing
and kayaking. It is probably the best site in the area, but
some of the sanitary blocks could do with updating and
the grounds could do with a little more TLC. The lively
atmosphere and good programme of entertainment
make it an ideal spot for active families.
