L'Oasis du Verdon
About
L’Oasis du Verdon is a vibrant, family‑friendly campsite nestled in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon, just a short walk from the village of Aups and within easy reach of the stunning Lac de Sainte‑Croix. The site offers a mix of chalets, mobile‑homes, premium suites, a private spa, and spacious pitches, each designed to accommodate couples, families, solo travellers, and even glampers. Guests enjoy a heated pool at 28 °C, a sandy beach‑style area and a dedicated water‑play zone that welcomes paddlers of all ages. The campsite is pet‑friendly, proudly holding the Qualidog certification and featuring a “Toutoubar,” dedicated dog playgrounds, and a pet‑friendly dining experience. Beyond the outdoor fun, L’Oasis du Verdon boasts a charming on‑site restaurant – Les Terrasses – perched under a majestic old plane tree that offers a relaxed Provençal atmosphere. Open every evening except Wednesday, the restaurant serves a generous menu that highlights local Provençal flavours, with pizza and seafood specialties, and weekend cocktails in a cozy lounge setting. For larger parties, a half‑board package is available, and the bustling bar runs from 8 AM until late, catering to morning coffee, afternoon ice cream, and evening cocktails. The campsite’s reception operates on season‑dependent hours (8:00‑13:00 / 15:00‑19:00 in high season, 9:00‑13:00 / 15:00‑17:00 in low season), and the overall ambience radiates a welcoming, friendly atmosphere that encourages families, couples, and nature‑enthusiasts alike to unwind amidst the dramatic scenery of the Gorges du Verdon. Whether exploring the canyon’s cliffs, strolling to the nearby village for artisanal markets, or simply enjoying a sunset by the pool, guests leave with unforgettable memories of Provence’s natural beauty. The campsite also offers on‑site administrative services, including multilingual brochures and local guides for hiking, canyoning, and nearby wetlands, making it an excellent hub for adventure and relaxation in equal measure.
