RCN les Collines de Castellane

Alan Rogers Review of RCN les Collines de Castellane

RCN, a Dutch company, runs a chain of nine good campsites in the Netherlands. They also operate eight sites in France, all with Dutch managers who speak good French and English. Les Collines de Castellane is pleasantly situated in the mountainous landscape of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. There are 160 touring pitches (with 10A electricity) spread over a series of flat terraces and most have shade provided by trees. Access roads are very steep and it is quite a long way down to the bottom of the site. At the top of the site, near the entrance, is a combined reception and attractive bar/restaurant area overlooking the pool complex with its water slides and a paddling pool for small children.

The unspoiled nature of the surrounding mountains provides attractive views, especially from the terraced restaurant. The area offers many opportunities for hiking, cycling, rafting, abseiling or canoeing. A day trip to the Mediterranean beaches is very possible via the main N85 to Cannes, Antibes or Nice. On the way, one could stop at Grasse to visit one of the old perfume factories, including that of the family of the artist Fragonard and where some of his paintings are exhibited.
