Huttopia Gorges du Verdon, Riverside campground in Castellane, France
Huttopia Gorges du Verdon is a campground situated along the Verdon River near Europe's largest canyon. The site features two swimming pools, direct beach access, and provides accommodation options from tent pitches to fully equipped wooden chalets.
The campground was established in the latter half of the 20th century as recreational facilities expanded in the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Its creation shaped how people could experience the canyon landscape.
The site hosts workshops where local artisans teach traditional crafts and share knowledge about Provençal heritage with visitors. These sessions let you connect with regional traditions and meet people who practice these skills in their daily lives.
The campground is open from May through September and offers accommodation choices to suit different needs and budgets. You can get information there about hiking trails, river activities, and how to explore the surrounding landscapes.
Visitors can join guided nighttime walks that combine stargazing with exploration of the limestone landscapes around the gorge. These outings reveal the stars overhead and hidden features of the terrain visible only after dark.
