Orpierre has two camp sites: "Les Princes d'Orange" which is a bit deluxe with swimming pool and chalets and a "family and kids" vibe to it. "Les Noyers" just next to it (and sharing the same reception office) is much cheaper, with very basic facilities (but perfectly clean and agreeable, more laid back and a "climbing / hiking / mountain-biking" vibe. Orpierre also has its own municipal swimming pool. Another very nice camp-site is "Les Catoyes" about 4km up the road towards Laborel. Live bands on Monday evenings in the summer!
