Are you looking for a small campsite with plenty of shade? In the Alps, in the South East of France, you will find the wooded campsite St-James-les-Pins. The town of Guillestre is two kilometres away. This region is ideal for sporty campers. The campsite has a beautiful natural water basin. There is also a public swimming pool 300 metres from the campsite.

Shade everywhere

The pitches are naturally situated. So expect pitches of various sizes. There are about one hundred marked out pitches in the shade of pine trees. The campsite is two and a half hectares and has several mobile homes and chalets. There is also a group chalet for up to nineteen people.

Like a fish in the water

The natural surroundings alone make it worth your while to book a pitch here. The campsite is also suitable for cycling fans, especially because of the various cols of the Tour de France. Think of the Col du Galibier, the Col d'Izoard and the Col de la Croix de Fer. The ultimate destination for cyclists! Also motorcyclists, fishermen and mountain bikers feel like a fish in water here.

Surprise yourself

Will you be camping at this campsite? Then don't forget to visit the restaurant. Take a seat on the small terrace and let your taste buds be spoiled. The food in this small restaurant is surprisingly good! For your own groceries, you have to go to the shops in Guillestre. The sanitary facilities at this campsite are also excellent. No frills, but they are heated. Very nice if you are staying in St-James-les-Pins in a colder period.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - We have been coming to this campsite since I was 2 years old so it holds lovely family memories . I like the fact that it is a family run campsite.
Disliked - I did like it when you had the food vans here some evenings and when the welcome evening was less formal but it is still good
