Lovely camping site in a fantastic region
Review of the campsite
I stayed there for a few days of motorcycle touring in the Alps and enjoyed it very much. It is quiet, there is a bar and restaurant and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Also a big thank you for the friendly Belgian cleaning lady keep the "sanitaire" spotlessly clean.
Open the bar a little earlier than 18.30h
Establishment response
Thank you for your review. I think there was a misunderstanding as the bar is open in the morning and then in the afternoon from 14h00. In the low season the bar is open from 17h00.

Review of the campsite
Friendly family run campsite. Clean facilities. A perfect escape from it all with a stunning background drop of the mountains and the sound of the river. A perfect stay to recharge.
Maybe some back ground music in the washing facilities 😀

Lovely little camping with friendly owners
Review of the campsite
The relaxed atmosphere combined with the stunning views and natural surroundings and the super friendly owners make this one of the best campings we stayed at.
The swimming pool is a little small but the river is there as well as a nice little swimming pond.

Accommodation review - Pitch Tent, Caravan, Camping Car (with car parking on site)
Prima plek met mooi uitzicht. Camping is natuurlijk ingericht. Mooi gelegen aan rivier en tussen de bergen.
Mooi terras en natuurlijke pool.
Een van de mooiste camping die we ooit bezocht hebben.
Wifi is beneden de huidige maatstaf. Toiletpapier op toiletten is een ontbrekende service.

Best camping ever!
Review of the campsite
David and Clair were super nice and had a lot of great recommendations for the area. The rafting in the river next to the camping was so much fun! The camping was very very clean. We could not have wished for a better place to stay!
We liked everything!

Outstanding campsite
Review of the campsite
Claire and David are great hosts, they ensure that their guests have the best holiday
The site is set within a natural environment surrounded by mountains and rivers
The bar and restaurant offer a good choice and the food was great, with a lovely terrace next to the river to sit and enjoy.
The facilities were spotlessly clean at all times and faultless
David advised us on places to visit and sharing his knowledge of the area
Thank you to both of you for making our stay at camping river so enjoyable

Large pitch which was plenty big enough for our campervan and awning.

Areas of sun and shade which was needed due to the heat

A real gem
Review of the campsite
Wonderful small site. Very friendly and welcoming owners, Clare and David who gave great advice on the beautiful local area and all its outdoor activities. Site is lovely and informal, perfect for tents and small vans with plenty of space and natural pitches. Great aspect for sun all day but plenty of trees for shade. The bar area is perfect for relaxing after an active day. good variety of seating outside by the river (a white water rafting river) and on a covered deck . Nice inside too. A tiny natural lake is perfect for a dip. Lovely food served on some days. We will be back.

A very special place
Review of the campsite
The hosts were both very friendly, giving us on-spot tips for routes, very calm and relaxed atmosphere on the whole site, marvellous location. The pitch place was so spacious our tent and motorcycle looked nearly lost in it. The decorations and gardens were thoughtfully attuned to the beautiful landscape and the lounge and bar area directly at the river Ubaye. New and clean facilities, showers and toilets.We would have loved to stay longer and will definitely return!

Very spacious, level pitch place for the tent, on low grass, under the trees. Perfect!
