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.

Sophie D

Rental

Family

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.

More info about Camping Sunêlia L'Hippocampe

The dreamlike location amidst the mountain ranges of the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region makes Camping Sunêlia L'Hippocampe particularly unique. Situated between the idyllic village of Volonne and a bird-rich lake, campers can always catch the most beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and olive groves. Thanks to the pool area, sports facilities and entertainment programme, nature lovers and hikers as well as families with children will feel right at home here.

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. There is a small supermarket directly on the site for your daily needs. Fresh croissants and bread are also available every morning. If you don't like cooking yourself, you are welcome in the restaurant with terrace. Meals are also available to take away. The snack bar is also open in July and August. Although the campsite is located directly on the Durance, swimming in the river is prohibited. Instead, the pool area with water slides promises swimming fun. The campsite also offers a wide range of sports activities, such as tennis, beach volleyball, aquagym and archery. For the youngest guests, there is a paddling pool, a playground and a mini club. Older siblings will enjoy the entertainment programme with sports tournaments. In the evenings, there are shows with magicians, dancers and music groups. There is a party atmosphere in the soundproofed discotheque. Alternatively, you can enjoy a soothing massage in the wellness area. In addition to the extensive range of leisure activities on offer, the practical aspects are not neglected at Camping Sunêlia L'Hippocampe: most of the parcelled-out pitches are equipped with their own water, waste water and electricity connections. Cassette toilets can be emptied. There is also a supply and disposal station for motorhomes. The laundry room has washing machines and tumble dryers.

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. The quiet and serene atmosphere on the village streets, which is typical of the entire Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region, is particularly impressive. Bicycles, canoes and pedalos are available for hire at the campsite to explore the surrounding area. Fishing licences are also available. The nearest larger towns are Sisteron, Manosque and Digne les Bains. The most famous natural spectacle in the area is the Verdon Gorge. The Verdon flows for 21 kilometres through a canyon up to 700 metres deep. The Verdon Nature Park is ideal for hiking, climbing and mountain biking.
