Camping de Fontcouverte, Municipal campground in Névache, France
Camping de Fontcouverte is a campground in Névache set in the Hautes-Alpes region beneath larch trees near the Clarée River. The site offers multiple plots where visitors can set up tents or park caravans among the forest.
The Clarée Valley, where this campground sits, has roots in Alpine mountain farming stretching back many generations. The way people have shaped the landscape through centuries of living here still shows in the buildings and land today.
The location sits along paths that connect to small mountain villages where people maintain traditional Alpine ways of living. Walking through the area, you sense how the valley shapes the daily rhythms of those who live here.
The campground welcomes visitors during the warmer months and has bathroom and shower facilities on the grounds. Those driving should check on any road restrictions before arriving, as access to the valley can be limited at certain times.
The site is named after a natural spring called Fontcouverte, which once served the herds that Alpine farmers kept in the valley. This water source remains a defining feature of where the campground stands today.
