Camping L'Hirondelle is a charming family campsite in Drôme Provençale. The area around the campsite is remarkable, surrounded by fields of lavender, wooded areas, mountains and rivers. This elongated campsite is on a small river with a view of the Vercors, a mountain plateau at an altitude of 2,341 m above sea level. The campsite is easily accessed via the Crest/Gap route and is close to the charming village of Die (11 km). Upon arriving at the camping site, you are welcomed in a chalet that makes you feel right at home – something you feel throughout the campsite.

Camping in the forest

The pitches of Camping L'Hirondelle are spread throughout a large forest. Most of the pitches are spacious and offer a lovely view of the fields and mountains at the edge of the woods. For those who prefer a darker, shaded pitch, there are lots of pitches deep in the forest. If you don't have your own camping equipment, that is not a problem: there are also lodge tents and mobile homes available, including models suitable for six to eight people, ideal for families.

Hours of fun

The excellent amenities at the campsite offer something for everyone. The swimming pool, at the front of the campsite, has a slide and a view of the mountains. For children, there is a water park with small water cascades and fountains. There are also three bouncy castles to provide hours of fun for the little ones.

Not in the mood to cook? The restaurant at the campsite has an extensive menu with delicious dishes.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Hele fijne, ruim opgezette en groene camping. Kleinschalig waardoor het met jonge kinderen goed overzichtelijk is. Veel mogelijkheden in en om de camping qua vermaak met als hoogtepunt de rivier langs de camping.
Disliked - Blijf het park en de huisjes up to date houden. Keep up the good work.
