CAMPING LA CERISE

Camping La Cerise is a 3-star, family-run campsite in the heart of the Vaucluse. Set in a peaceful, wooded environment and run by owners Mendy and Jimmy, this human-scale campsite offers a calm, authentic Provençal atmosphere with a strong commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism (official site).

The campsite is designed for guests seeking tranquillity, nature and comfort. It offers camping pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, as well as rental accommodation. A motorhome service area with dumping point is available for campervan travellers (official site). One of the defining features of Camping La Cerise is its “car-free” concept once installed, creating a safe and relaxed environment for families.

For leisure, guests can enjoy a swimming pool with a separate paddling pool for children, surrounded by sun loungers — ideal for cooling off under the Provençal sun (official site). The on-site restaurant with a guinguette spirit serves seasonal dishes made from fresh, local products, highlighting short supply chains and regional producers. Take-away meals are also available, perfect after a day exploring Vaucluse.

Daily essentials are covered with a bread and small grocery service supporting local suppliers (official site). Pets are welcome, making it a friendly choice for travellers with dogs. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, green and community-oriented — a campsite near Mont Ventoux where you can truly slow down and reconnect with nature.

Camping La Cerise is ideally located in Malemort-du-Comtat, a charming Provençal village in the Vaucluse. The campsite sits approximately 10 km (15 minutes) from the lively town of Carpentras, known for its historic centre, weekly market and restaurants. Here you’ll find supermarkets, bakeries, cafés and local shops.

The iconic Mont Ventoux — the “Giant of Provence” — is about 30 km (40 minutes) away, attracting cyclists, hikers and nature lovers. The surrounding countryside offers countless walking and cycling routes through vineyards and lavender fields.

Within roughly 35 km, you can reach the famous hilltop villages of the Luberon such as Gordes and Roussillon, both celebrated for their stone architecture and panoramic views. The historic city of Avignon is around 30 km (35–40 minutes) away, offering cultural attractions, restaurants and bars.

For swimming beyond the campsite pool, the Sorgue River around L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (approx. 25 km / 30 minutes) offers scenic waterside walks and kayaking opportunities.

Camping La Cerise is a family-oriented, peaceful campsite, ideal for guests looking for a slower pace of holiday in Provence. The “car-free once settled” policy contributes to safety and serenity, especially for children. The shaded, wooded environment provides natural cooling during warm summer months.

The campsite welcomes motorhomes, caravans and tents, and a dumping station is available for camper services. Dogs are allowed, but it is advisable to check specific conditions when booking. The on-site restaurant and bread service are seasonal and may vary depending on the time of year.

Its central Vaucluse location makes it an excellent base for exploring Mont Ventoux, the Luberon villages, Carpentras and Avignon. A car or bicycle is recommended for exploring the wider area.
