A domain that's larger than life
Le Petit Arlane spreads across 75 hectares in Valensole, right in the heart of Lavender Country. The land blends 35 hectares of forest, two natural lakes and fields that turn mauve come summer. This is far from a campsite squeezed between two hedges, here space is part of the stay.
Naturism is mandatory, as in every establishment of this kind. The place is run by the Tikayan group and rated 3 stars, with a capacity of around 103 people spread across pitches and rentals.
Where to pitch your tent or drop your bags
On the camping side, 88 pitches of at least 100 m² are connected to electricity, plenty of room to spread out your gear and deck chair without stepping on anyone. For those who prefer to arrive empty handed, 41 rentals are waiting: mobile homes, chalets, gîtes and Kenya-style tent lodges.
The campsite also delivers fresh bread every morning and offers linen rental for furnished accommodations. Wifi covers the site, handy for staying reachable while being out in the wild.
Pool, sauna and lazing around
The panoramic pool is one of the place's strong points, with a view over the lakes and the domain. There's also a sauna, a bar, a restaurant and plenty to keep you busy without leaving your deck chair: table tennis, billiards, a playground for the kids.
Dedicated naturist trails let you wander the grounds without changing out of today's outfit, meaning nothing at all. The Verdon, Lac de Sainte-Croix and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie are all within reach for anyone wanting to step outside the campsite for a day.
Mood and reviews
Feedback describes a bucolic setting, between lavender and calm, with management seen as reliable and a warm welcome. The place suits couples and naturist families alike, the overall vibe being described as peaceful rather than lively.
The campsite is listed with the FEN, which is reassuring about how serious the structure is. It's open from April 24 to September 25, with the office reachable Monday to Friday from 9am to 1pm then 2pm to 7pm.
Booking your stay
