Camping Les Hauts de Rosans

Medieval Rosans should be your first port of call – there aren’t any major sights here but it’s an atmospheric little village with some well-preserved buildings and streets to wander around. There are plenty of other lovely walks around here too; ask the site staff for suggestions to take you up into the hills or through the nearby lavender fields. To cover a bit more ground, make the 10-minute drive to Domaine de Risou and join a quad biking expedition into the surrounding hills. If you’d like to leave the ground behind, head over to Orpierres, 45 minutes away, for some great climbing routes to suit all abilities, or take the 50-minute journey to Les Barons Perchés to swing through the trees on an adventure course or zipline. If you haven’t quite spent enough time in the on-site pool, Nyonsoleïado waterpark is around 45 minutes away and has a huge outdoor pool flanked by beach areas, waterslides and waterfalls to play with. Another good place to swim is in the natural cool waters of the Gorges de la Méouge, 45 minutes away. Hike the two kilometres from the Roman bridge at Châteauneuf de Chabre and you'll have earned your cooling dip at the end. When night starts to fall, head over to the Baronnies Observatory, 10 minutes away, to learn about the night sky from its team of astronomers and, on some visits, look through the powerful telescopes. It’s not open to the public all the time so check ahead and book your visit.
