Camping la Ribière

Alan Rogers Review of Camping la Ribière

This very welcoming family run site is set on the northern edge of Annot, a medieval village renowned for the Grès d’Annot, a chaos of massive sandstone boulders, which attracts both geologists and climbers from all over the world. La Ribère is a small site with only 60 pitches, 52 of which are for touring. The majority are level and mainly grassy, all have 10A electricity; those by the river bank are stony, so rock pegs may be useful. The bar/snack bar is open all season, serving delicious home-made pizzas at very reasonable prices. In low season, campers can get together in the convivial meeting room, heated by a wood burner.

There is no shop on site, only bread to order. However, there is a supermarket just 200 m. away, and the village with shops, bars, restaurants and all facilities is only a ten minute walk. There is also a municipal swimming pool in Annot. For those wishing to explore the area, the narrow gauge railway from Digne-les-Bains to Nice stops in Annot, and the line is also used on Sundays for steam train excursions to Puget-Théniers.
