Camping
near the Buëch
Water is everywhere around Camping Solaire du Petit Buëch! Our camping near Gap is ideally located for water lovers. Rivers, lakes, gorges… nature offers you an exceptional aquatic playground here, just a few steps from your pitch. It’s the perfect way to cool off naturally during hot summer days, in addition to our aquatic area with its heated pool.
The Buëch River just
a few steps away
Need to cool down? The Buëch River is accessible in just a 2-minute walk from the campsite — a rare luxury! Its clear waters and green banks make it an ideal spot for an impromptu swim, a fishing trip, or simply a contemplative break with your feet in the water.
The Veynes municipal lake, just 300 meters from the campsite, perfectly completes the offer: supervised swimming, a delimited zone, a pontoon, toilets, and rinsing showers on-site. The gravel and grass shoreline is perfect for laying down your towel and enjoying the Hautes-Alpes sun. Note that access is free and swimming is allowed all day — a municipal decree prohibits access to the lake from 1 AM.
