The Renovated Château‑Arnoux Area, in the Heart of Nature
Sunêlia l’Hippocampe also features a renovated camping area fully integrated into the estate, located on the opposite side of the Durance River, in the commune of Château‑Arnoux. Developed on the former campsite grounds, this area now offers large pitches in a beautifully preserved natural setting.
This section includes more than 100 pitches dedicated to tents, caravans, and motorhomes. The plots are exceptionally spacious, ranging from 100 to 260 m², with the option of private sanitary facilities for added comfort. Nestled at the foot of the hills and close to two fishing ponds and the Durance, the area provides a peaceful, green environment. The nearby reed bed is home to numerous bird species, placing you right in the heart of the Escale ornithological reserve.
The area features its own reception, a bakery and convenience shop, a lagoon with bar, and a snack bar. Whether you stay on the Volonne side or in Château‑Arnoux, all facilities and services on both sides of the river remain accessible. Entertainment, shows, and activities for all ages complete the experience.
A pedestrian and cycling bridge, built in 2022, connects both sides of the campsite in 8 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by bike.

An eco-responsible approach
L'Hippocampe has held the "Clef Verte" label since 2010
The renovationaims to be environmentally friendly. The major eco-responsible investments include:
- The lagoon: This is a chlorine-free gravity filtration system that consumes 70% less energy than a swimming pool. This technique, combined with UV filters, preserves the quality of the water. The ARS (Agence Régionale de Santé) monitors and validates water quality.
- Solar lighting: Most of the area will be lit by solar-powered street lamps.
- A selective sorting area: a new selective sorting area to improve waste management.
Accessibility
Thanks to the Himalayan footbridge built in 2022, holidaymakers can move easily from one bank to the other. This footbridge can be used on foot or by bike.
It is about an 8-minute walk or 3-minute bike ride between l’Hippocampe Volonne and l’Hippocampe Château Arnoux.
As far as vehicle access is concerned, this new area, located in the commune of Château Arnoux, has its own reception. There will now be 2 access points for vehicles: L'Hippocampe Volonne and l'Hippocampe Château Arnoux.
