Camping les Lavandes

Excellent campsite in a good elevated position with a beautiful view.

The campsite is located on a plateau, with the village situated considerably lower. There are relatively few trees or shade. The swimming pool is lovely; bring your own umbrella. Showers with a card were mediocre; the water temperature fluctuates. Many pitches offer beautiful views of the surrounding area. The supermarket is not within walking distance, and there is no bread service in September or food trucks.

A lovely campsite with friendly owners, and everything is well-organized. Reasonably spacious pitches, modern sanitary facilities, and electricity and water are included in the price. The swimming pool provides a wonderful cool retreat. We came for the lavender fields in the immediate area, but much of it had already been mown due to a warm spring. The best time for this is the first week of July. Valensole itself is not far from the campsite, but there's a fairly steep (cycling) climb back up.
