The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small grassy camping area in the mountains with stunning panoramic views over the Durance river, Sisteron citadel and surrounding valleys. Access only via D17 from Entrepierre (sealed road). Clay terrain becomes slippery when wet. Excellent starting point for hiking (GR trails to Sisteron, Trou de l'Argent cave). No facilities. Very quiet location, well-maintained, hosting a few vans overnight.
