Description

Hello fellow campers!
The access road is very difficult, and is built on ancient terraces that have been weakened by the passage of time. It can only be used by relatively light, unobtrusive vehicles at very moderate speeds.

Once you've passed these few hundred meters, you're in the heart of the Coteaux d'Eos, an eco-place that recently became a Nature Oasis and LPO Refuge, and you're very welcome!

But be warned, you're also in the heart of the Haut-Var massifs, where any kind of fire is strictly forbidden (which means, among other things, no smoking, barbecuing or any other kind of object that produces flames or sparks).

The setting

The site is located on a hillside, entirely terraced, in a forest setting.
It's a very old olive grove, long abandoned, which I'm gradually restoring. The long-term aim, apart from growing olive and fig trees, is to find different forms of art and well-being in a place where nature is preserved.
For the time being, of course, the site is still under construction, and much remains to be done...
Apart from that, you'll be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of this place at night, free from light pollution and under a superb starry sky. :)

The spots

You'll be able to pitch your tent on one of the terraces, where holm oaks and pines provide a pleasant respite from the summer heat.

The sanitary facilities

Outdoor dry toilets and a solar shower area are available. As the site has no running water, showers can be filled with water from the village of Salernes (public fountain).
If available, you can borrow a 10l shower and jerry can.

The amenities

You won't find any drinking water or nuclear power on this site.
However, if you move around a bit, you'll have the GSM network you need for your cell phone.
You can also charge your cell phone at the bastidon.

The activities

If you wish, you can enjoy the benefits of sports massage, Swedish massage, Thai massage or Japanese facial massage (prices on site).
In the surrounding area, within a 30 km radius, you can enjoy all the activities mentioned in the dedicated section, not to mention the many arts and crafts available in the region.

Other things

A few kilometers (by car) from the surrounding villages:
- 5 km (7 min) from Salernes, with its natural swimming pool and ceramics museum
- 12 km (15 min) from Entrecasteaux, and its castle
- 12 km (19 min) from Sillans-la-cascade
- 15 km (22 min) from Aups, and its Maison de la Truffe (Truffle House)
- 16 km (21 min) from Tourtour (village in the sky)
- 19 km (24 min) from Cotignac (4, 5 km and 15 min by the old road)
- 27 km (31 min) from Le Thoronet and its Abbey
- 31 km (37 min) from Bauduen and the first beaches of Lac de Ste-Croix
- 60 km (1h) from the beaches of Frejus or Ste-Maxime

Rules

A few common-sense rules are to be observed on the site, such as "no smoking or fires, no climbing or straddling the terraces, staying alert when moving around, respecting the calm and cleanliness of the place" Finally, kindness and eco-responsibility are basic principles here... ☺

  • It was the quietest night of our vacation! Alone in the middle of the olive trees, Lorens welcomed us with kindness and let us enjoy his very beautiful olive grove.
    We warmly recommend this small corner of nature which is deserved however after a few tens of meters on a track a little chaotic.

  • An olive grove nestled on restanques surrounded by a pine forest, a dominant view up to the Maures massif, the absolute calm, the excellent welcome of Lorens, a unique place.
    The access road was not a problem with a scooter equipped with a big top case and panniers.

    For the road we have a Peugeot 208 and everything went well. Walks in and around the property and many things to do around.
    We will return without hesitation. ☺️

  • It is an extraordinary place in the heart of nature, calm, inspiring, rejuvenating... therapeutic. Everything smells good, everything vibrates, everything is beautiful, starting with the janitor of this place, Laurent, who is extremely gentle and benevolent, a curious and passionate spirit. It is an address that we would like to keep for ourselves so much we feel privileged to be there... and that we are happy to share!
    A big thank you !

  • If you are looking for peace and quiet, this place is ideal! We totally disconnect! I highly recommend it!

  • Thank you for the welcome and for making us discover your site. Several choices of sites possible and a good freedom of sites to install a tent. There is only the road where you have to drive very slowly but that makes all its charm for a good change of scenery.
    Good continuation Laurent for the renovation of the site.

  • Perfect land for camping, well located because close to all amenities by car, but you feel despite being in the middle of the forest (or an orchard, depending on where you put your tent).

    Thanks to Laurent for his welcome and we hope that your project of a space in the nature dedicated to the well-being will bear fruit!

    See you soon :)

  • A very nice meeting with Laurent. If you are looking for a place to reconnect with nature, no hesitation. Laurent is a soothing, warm person who himself has found his way to nature and share it with others. It's like being out of time. I can only recommend this haven of peace. Laurent is also an expert in massages and yoga (another string to his bow).
    Thank you Laurent and I look forward to seeing you.

  • Many thanks to Laurent for his impeccable welcome. In spite of a little complicated access to the site, a very large and very pleasant ground where we spent a weekend with calm. We will come back.

  • A total immersion in the middle of nature, in the heart of the forest. Easy access after clear and detailed explanations! Huge ground adapted to set up a camp. Dry toilet facilities, very practical.
    Natural swimming pool near the center of Salernes, very busy but worth the detour.
    I put 10/10 for the tranquility of the site.
    Thank you laurent for your welcome and your kindness, we will come back with great pleasure when we pass in the area!
    See you soon!
