A One-star campsite. Set by the turquoise waters of the lake, this hillside campsite reaches up to the Mediterranean style forests of the Haute Provence mountains. Dominated by a Vauban-built fortress, the small village of Saint Vincent Les Forts, which nestles at the foot of a magnificent wall of rock, looking out at the valley below, has wonderful views over Lake Serre-Ponçon, a green-blue jewel set in the green meadows surrounded by blue mountains! It is little wonder that fans of hang-gliding, gliding and ULM have chosen this magnificent site as a base, now highly reputed, for "air-based" sports ! Set on the banks of Lake Serre-Ponçon, at an altitude of 800 metres, the campsite is the ideal spot to come and get away from it all and soak up the sun of Provence.
