About this campsite

On the edge of the Vallon de Laverq and on the banks of the River Ubaye, just 15km from the historic Mexican themed town of Barcelonnette and at the approach to 7 famous mountain cols including the Col d’Allos, Col de Cayolle, Col de Vars - featured in the 2019 Tour de France - and the mighty Col de la Bonnette. Camping River offers relaxation well being and a large variety of sporting activities, all accessible from the campsite. Choosing to spend your holiday in this beautiful area of the Alpes-de-Haute- Provence is also embarking on a series of endless adventures accessible to all. The Ubaye Valley belongs to a mountain range known as the ‘dry’Alps or Alpes de lumière with 300 days of sunshine and only 700mm of annual precipitation.

Lovely stay with our 2 daughters at camping river

8.3 Eline G Family with children August 2026

Liked: A very, cosy feeling. Because the camping is small it's very personal. Beautiful location. Nice that we could order bread in the morning but also ice cream for the kids and nice drinks and fonds at the bar. The kids loved to play with the other kids that stayed at the camping. They loved the supps and the table tennis. We booked a raft trip at the camping, wich was really nice. A perfect base for swimming at the lake, hiking of cycling, visit Barcelonnette etc. We will recommend Camping River!

Could be better: The sanitary was old. Lots of toilet seats were loose. And we were not used to bring your own toilet paper. But it was fine to bring it with us. But there were several signs of poor maintenance.

Heerlijke plek

8.0 Janneke D Family with teenagers August 2026

Liked: Mooi gelegen naast rivier en omringd door bergen, vriendelijke eigenaresse, schoon sanitair, fijn restaurant op camping, sfeer.

Could be better: Zwembad was wel erg klein en nodigde niet zo uit. Jammer dat er weinig gezinnen met tieners waren, terwijl de vele outdoor activiteiten juist voor tieners aansprekend zijn.

Unforgettable stay with the kindest hosts!

9.7 Urtzi C Family with children August 2026

Liked: The owners are an extraordinarily kind, welcoming couple who truly go above and beyond—their service is way beyond 10/10! ​Since I don't speak French, the owner made a phone call on my behalf. When water entered our tent, they instantly offered to help. They trusted us without even knowing us, letting our young kids (ages 3 and 7) get bread and ice cream freely, and lending us an electric adapter straight away. The campsite is super peaceful and silent after 10 PM. It is very clean, It has a small lake with two paddle surfboards that our kids loved. The pizza is big, cheqp and great.

Could be better: We couldn't leave the car next to our tent but parking outside after unloading is quick and convenient.

The river is beautiful

5.2 Cindy W Family with teenagers August 2026

Liked: We had a good time in camping river. The view is beautiful and you can directly go to the river. The owners a awesome and very kind.

Could be better: The toilets were to small and you have to bring your own toiletpaper. Everything is a little bit old and may needs an upgrade.

Lovely camping site in a fantastic region

8.8 Pascal V Solo traveller September 2025

Liked: 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.

Could be better: Open the bar a little earlier than 18.30h

9.4 Diana S Family with teenagers August 2025

Liked: It's a friendly small sized camping with a lot of thing to do around the campsite. Hiking, rafting, canyoning, swimming and lots of other activities to do. Claire and David are wording hard and are always there to help you out when you have questions. The facilities are very clean and the restaurant have good pizza's!

Relaxing retreat

10.0 Carron B Family with teenagers August 2025

Liked: 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.

Could be better: Maybe some back ground music in the washing facilities 😀

8.1 Niels R Family with children August 2025

Liked: 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.
