Camping solaire, Ecological campground in Veynes, France
Camping Solaire is a campsite in Veynes with 158 pitches spread across about 6.5 hectares, set among rivers and mountains. Each pitch provides 150 to 200 square meters of space for caravans and tents.
The site emerged as part of a movement in France to bring renewable energy into tourism. It was among the first campings to systematically integrate solar power into daily operations.
The campsite connects visitors with the rural rhythms of the region, where local markets and seasonal events shape the year. People here experience the daily habits and traditions of the Hautes-Alpes community.
The site is staffed Monday through Friday from 2 PM to 5 PM and offers showers, restrooms, cooking areas, and a playground. Visitors should note that basic facilities are available, though office hours are limited to weekday afternoons.
Solar panels are not hidden away but shape the entire landscape, from roof installations to pathway lighting throughout the grounds. Those who pay attention notice the traces of this energy approach woven into everyday camp life.
