Camping Saint Jean ***

We visited late in the season (late September) What a find! A really pleasant site with a wide variety of pitches, both in size and amount of shade. Two sanitary blocks that were always immaculate, plenty of hot water and decent shower cubicles. There is a covered area near to reception with tables and chairs and a bar service from reception. Two draught beers, wines, spirits etc all at fair prices. Pizza/chip van on site every evening except Monday\'s again excellent fare at very reasonable prices.
There are not too many facilities for children though.
The site is a short walk from the picture postcard town of Moustiere St Marie BUT it\'s up a real killer of a hill and there is no way to avoid it!!
An ideal location to \"do\" the Gorges Du Verdon (do it in a clockwise direction) and don\'t miss the \"loop\" which starts at a right fork in the road about 1K the other side of La Palud Sur Verdon. Near the top of the loop there are a good few viewpoints where vultures can be seen soaring within about 30 ft of you!! If you come to a \"No Entry\" sign you took the first not second turning as part of the loop is one way (with some justification)
The Gorge road is NOT to be underestimated, it is VERY narrow in places and extremely winding as well. The entire circuit took us 6-7 hours(with a stop for lunch of course) DONT take a motorhome or caravan along it.
But back to the campsite....... It\'s a great site with plenty to do in the area, delightful husband and wife team run it and nothing is to much trouble (Bread available if ordered the day before) I have little doubt that we will be returning.

Wonderful camping. Lady proprietor very funny and kind. some pitches bit of a squeeze. views lovely. V close to town. little shop, good pizzeria and good coffee. Short drive to lake so made up for no pool. will return to beautiful campsite.

Deze beoordeling is als enquete afgenomen door onze inspecteur op de camping zelf.

Sehr freundliches Personal empfing uns nach anstrengender Fahrt bei großer Hitze. Leider kein Swimmingpool, aber angenehme Schattenplätze, TV schwer zu empfangen, Sanitär super. Herrliche Umgebung, bezaubernder Ort fußläufig zu erreichen. Schöner Platz, wir kommen gern wieder.

Camping agréable ombragé, bien situé pour visiter le beau village de Moustier Saint Marie. Le patron très sympathique ainsi que le personnel. Sanitaires sont très propres et neufs. Camping à recommander

Superfijne camping met ontzettend vriendelijke eigenaren, schoon sanitair en heerlijke pizza\'s!
We komen zeker hier nog eens terug!

Leuke camping met veel schaduwrijke plekken. Inderdaad opletten bij het rijden over de paden, maar is goed te doen. Eigenaar en eigenaresse zijn zeer vriendelijk, heerlijke pizza\'s op de camping. Mooi sanitair. Leuke dagtochten naar Gorges du Verdon (laat je wel goed informeren anders mis je het mooiste stuk), het blauwe meer Sainte-Croix, de lavendel velden en niet te vergeten de wandeling naar het prachtige plaatsje Moustiers ste Marie

Everything you read that is positive about this site is so true. From the minute we arrived at reception and throughout our whole stay Madame Christine could not do enough for us always greeting us with a warm welcome and an abundance of helpful information. Her English is excellent and knowledge of the area and the walks superb. Her husband is welcoming too and always smiling, even when we blew the 6 amp fuse. This camp site was truly superb for us. The short hilly walk into Moustiere St Marie leads you to the wonderful picturesque steeped village with superb restaurants (even for vegetarians). The access to the Verdon Gorge and the lake is excellent amongst many other ridge and canyon walks. The pitches are superb. All with an abundance of hedging or tree coverage and most semi private. You don\'t feel on top of each other nor staring at each other. We were really lucky as we chose a pitch with a mountain view ( not all have views due to the lovely trees, but some have a village view or mountain view both of which are stunning).The 6 amps was more than adequate once we worked out what we needed and the toilet facilities are amongst the best we have experienced. Clean, spacious and modern. The cleaners seem to be working all day and can be seen keeping on top of everything. Their little shop whilst dated in appearance has everything you need and the visiting veggie man and on site pizza van means you want for nothing. We came for 2 nights stayed 5, still didn\'t want to leave because it was so lovely and still so much to do. We will certainly be back to this wonderful 3 star campsite. The owners are wonderful.

Fantastic site in excellent location for visiting the Gorges du Verdon. Easy walk from the site in to Moustiers (bit uphill!). Site toilets refurbished very recently and extremely clean! Reception staff very friendly, lady speaks English. Many pitches have a view of the village - lit at night. Pizza/frites van on site - very good. Will return if we come back to this area.

Mooie camping, vriendelijke receptie, keurig sanitair en een prachtige ligging. Via achterzijde camping te voet naar het gezellige dorpje. mooie omgeving waar veel te zien is.
