Camping Les Hautes Prairies, Campground near Lourmarin, Provence, France
Camping Les Hautes Prairies is a campground on the edge of Lourmarin, a village in the Luberon area of Provence, southern France. The site sits among trees and green open land, offering tent and caravan pitches alongside rental accommodations such as mobile homes and chalets.
The land around Lourmarin has been part of a farmed and settled landscape for centuries, shaped by hilltop villages and the use of the land for agriculture and grazing. The area was later placed under protection as part of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, which now surrounds the campground.
The village of Lourmarin, reachable on foot in just a few minutes, is listed among the most beautiful villages in France, drawing visitors with its cobblestone lanes, stone walls, and small morning markets. The slow pace of Provençal daily life shapes the feel of a stay here, especially during long summer evenings spent outdoors.
The campground opens in early April and closes at the end of September, so the main season falls during the warmer months. In peak summer, it is worth booking well in advance, as the site fills quickly with families and groups.
The campground sits directly inside the boundaries of the Luberon Regional Natural Park, which means guests can head into protected natural land straight from their pitch without needing a car. This makes it one of the few places in the region where nature trails start right at the door.
