Les Castels Les Princes d'Orange is a campsite in the Hautes-Alpes, located at the foot of the French Alps. You camp in the regional nature park des Baronnies Provençales, near the border with the Drôme. You will find touring pitches and glamping accommodations on well-kept terraces. With its outdoor swimming pool and playground, this terraced campsite is a suitable destination for families with children. At the covered climbing wall you can practice for the real thing: climbing the steep rocks around Orpierre.

Welcome!

The D30 leads you from Eyguians to Orpierre, where you turn left at the camping sign. A little further on a passable road and you have reached campsite Les Castels Les Princes d'Orange.

Camping or rental accommodation

In the middle of the rugged nature are 89 spacious touring pitches. The terraces on the campsite offer a view of the surrounding rocky mountains, which give the area a rugged but tranquil feel. In addition to various chalets, mobile homes and bungalow tents, holiday homes with their own whirlpool are also available for rent.

Swimming and climbing

Active families are in thei element at Les Castels Les Princes d'Orange. Children can have fun in the large playground and the beautiful swimming pool. Also good to know for the gentlemen: you can just pack your swimming shorts. You don't necessarily have to wear a Speedo, like almost everywhere in France. Everyone can train in mountain climbing here at the indoor climbing wall on the campsite. The restaurant looks simple, but you can eat well there. In July and August live performances, karaoke and dance evenings are held here twice a week.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Orpierre village is within walking distance and very picturesque, with 2 nice restaurants and a small supermarket
Disliked - Shabby at best..... There is no aquatic area for children, it doesn't exist anymore. According to staff the owners are trying to save money. This is also why the water on the children's slide isn't turned on til 4pm. It took complaints from several guests to get this changed. This campsite could be so much better but it seems that the bare minimum is being done by the owners and staff. Pool bar/restaurant closes between 2 & 4 daily, so no drinks or snacks available on site. The grocery store is basically a shelf in reception of a few tins and cereal. A waste of money!!
