CAMPING INTERCOMMUNAL DE LA DURANCE

Camping Intercommunal de la Durance is a charming 3‑star campsite nestled in the heart of Provence, just a stone’s throw from the river Durance in Cavaillon, Vaucluse. The campsite spreads over approximately 4 hectares of shaded parkland, offering a peaceful and welcoming environment for families, couples, solo travellers and outdoor lovers alike.

With around 79 touring pitches, all equipped with electric hook‑ups and framed by mature hedges, this site is ideal for tents, caravans and motorhomes. Motorhome guests also benefit from a dedicated service point and space for waste disposal at the campsite entrance.

Guests can choose from a variety of on‑site rental options, including mobile homes, cabins (bungalows), and cottages, some of which are adapted for guests with reduced mobility and offer air conditioning for added comfort.

The campsite’s sanitary blocks have been recently renovated and include facilities for children and accessibility for those with reduced mobility. Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout the site, keeping you connected beneath the Provençal skies.

Although there isn’t a pool on the campsite itself, guests enjoy complimentary access to the large intercommunal outdoor swimming pool adjacent to the property from mid‑June to early September — a refreshing bonus under the Provence sun.

For recreation, the site has a children’s playground, pétanque area, table tennis, and easy access to nearby tennis courts. You’ll also find laundry facilities, a grocery bread deposit in high season, and equipment loans (like pétanque balls, fridge rentals, bike partnerships) to make your stay effortless and fun.

With its combination of spacious shaded pitches, comfortable rental units, free Wi‑Fi, and guest‑friendly services, Camping Intercommunal de la Durance is a fantastic base for those seeking authentic outdoor living in Provence.

Positioned between the scenic Luberon hills and the Alpilles region, Camping Intercommunal de la Durance is a strategic springboard for exploring Provence’s finest attractions.

Just a few minutes from the campsite, you can stroll into Cavaillon’s historic centre to explore its old town streets, local markets, cafes and restaurants — ideal for evenings out after a day in the sun. Supermarkets, bakeries, and casual eateries are less than 1 km away, while traditional Provençal eateries and wine bars are found within 2 km.

Outdoor lovers will enjoy nearby river walks along the Durance, perfect for picnics, birdwatching and leisurely hikes. A bicycle path runs close by for scenic cycling tours through rustic countryside.

If you’re keen on culture and day trips, world‑famous destinations like Avignon (with its Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon) and lively Isle‑sur‑la‑Sorgue are within comfortable driving distance. For nature lovers, the ochre‑rich landscapes of Roussillon and the Colorado Provençal, and picturesque Luberon villages like Gordes and Oppède make unforgettable excursions.

Whether you’re after quiet cycling routes, riverside picnics, local wine tasting, or cultural hikes through ancient towns, this campsite places you within easy reach of the best of Provence.

Camping Intercommunal de la Durance operates seasonally — typically from 1st April to 30th September, so plan your stay accordingly.

The campsite welcomes pets on leads and with appropriate documentation, making it suitable for dog‑loving campers. Be mindful that while there’s free Wi‑Fi across the site, some premium services (laundry, fridge rental, extended equipment) may involve small fees.

If you’re staying in a rental accommodation, check whether bedding, towels and cleaning are included or available at extra cost — many units include certain comforts but may require additional arrangements.

Access to the municipal swimming pool is free for guests during its open period but may be seasonal and subject to local schedules — perfect for cooling off in Provençal heat.

Campsite reception offers extended hours in peak summer, and local tourist offices can help you with activity ideas like cycle hire routes, hiking itineraries and wine tours.

Finally, it’s wise to book early — especially in July and August — as this neighbourhood popular with travellers heading further south (Côte d’Azur, Corsica) and Provence explorers alike fills up quickly in high season.
