Camping in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur offers a wide range of camping options, from quiet mountain valleys to busy stretches of Mediterranean coast. Many travellers choose the coastal area for its easy beach access, especially around Hyères, Fréjus, and the smaller coves between Toulon and Cassis. Campsites here often sit close to cycle paths, coastal walks, and small harbours, making it simple to fill the day without long drives. If you head inland, the atmosphere changes quickly. The Luberon, Verdon, and southern Alps have calmer villages, river spots, and shaded camping areas surrounded by hills or pine forests. Short hikes, swimming in the Verdon lakes, and wandering local markets fit naturally into the day. Places like Aix-en-Provence, Digne-les-Bains, and Sisteron offer an easy mix of culture and practical services before you continue your trip. PACA suits campers who want sunshine, varied scenery, and the flexibility to switch between coast, mountains, and small towns.
