What campers are saying
Summarized by AI
The campsite scores with its great, green location right on the Durance and a really stylish pool area complete with an artificial lagoon. Families love the varied entertainment programme and the cosy, shady pitches. Good to know for the trip: Due to the division into two separate areas, you sometimes have to walk a bit longer to reach the central facilities.

Pros
Calm while being very lively, there is a wide range of animations, sports activities all day long suitable for all ages, quality children's animations, and real shows. An astonishing setting. A smiling and always available team: numerous visible staff who keep this campsite in perfect condition, whether in the maintenance of gardens, cleaning, or welcoming guests. You can feel the perfectionism, which is rare to highlight! It's also rare to find space on the sunbeds. Location/Rental accommodation: impeccable, spacious, comfortable, like new.
Cons
The lack of control or rigor in enforcing rules (swim shorts, teens throwing stones at a building, noise at 2 a.m. in some bungalows).

Pros
There are many activities available almost all day long for both young and old, the facilities are well maintained and kept clean, and the staff at the campsite is always in sight and extremely friendly. If you want to engage in activities in the area, keep in mind that you will be in the car for at least an hour or longer. Pitch/Rental accommodation: Tidy, sturdy tent with everything you need.
Cons
It would also be nice if more English were spoken during the entertainment. Pitch/Rental accommodation: No downsides.

Pros
The animation by a very nice entertainer was great, and the service around the restaurant was very good. The location and rental accommodation provided comfort.
Cons
The snack bar was lacking in products both at the snack bar and in the shop. Additionally, there were many ants in the first mobile home and there were no sun loungers around the pool.

Fantastic camping right by the river
At the 12-hectare Sunêlia L'Hippocampe campsite, holidaymakers can enjoy relaxing hours in the shade of the olive trees. The upscale facilities and services of the campsite also contribute to this.

Excursions into the rural idyll of Provence
The Sunêlia L'Hippocampe campsite is located 430 metres above sea level, around 600 metres from the village of Volonne. A walk through the village takes you past medieval houses and gates.
