Why stay here ...

Lively in high season, L’Hippocampe is a friendly, family-run site situated by the side of a river in a beautiful area of Provence. Generous pitches are mostly separated by bushes, and several overlook the river. The site is ideal for active families, with daily entertainment including aerobics, competitions, games and shows, as well as a large pool complex with slides and flumes for those who prefer to entertain themselves. 

Within walking disctance of Volonne and just 8 miles from Sisteron, the area also provides a lot for the active: rafting, hiking, canoeing and more can all be tried close by. The site staff will be happy to book excursions for guests, such as flights over the Gorges du Verdon and pony trekking. Those looking for a more sedate excursion can visit Dignes-les-Baines and bathe in its thermal spa waters.
