It depend what you are looking for. You have o travel a lot to get to the Provence area.

In that time most campings have few visitors so no need for reservation.

In the Provence there are no naturist campgrounds with a beach as far as i know.

If you like to be practically alone then is Enrioux a good choice. Nice campground and good for long nude walks.

If you like a lot of people then is Belezy a good but expensive choice.

But there are lot other good locations like Les Lauzons, Origan and Haut Garduere.
Les Lauzons and Origan are small campgrounds. on Enrioux and Haut garduere you can wal a lot nude.

But there are a lot more.

It is a long drive about 700 or 750 km. maybee you can do a stop when you reach the coast in the east. Like Serignan plage, Grande cosse ou Agde.

There are lots of naturist campsites in Provence - about 15, excluding Ile de Levant. We have visited them all in our camper during the last 3 years. There are two that, speaking personally, I wouldn't recommend: Domaine de l'Escride and La Haute Garduere. The others we thoroughly enjoyed. Obviously some are better than others, but it very much depends on what type of thing you like or are interested in?

You don't mention whether you'll be using a tent, caravan, campervan or looking for fixed accommodation on site? A couple of the sites are at relatively high altitude - both absolutely delightful in our opinion and with stunning views - but the nights will be getting quite cool/cold for sleeping under canvas unless you're the hardy type.

The best and most comprehensive guide available in English is the 2015 Naturist Holidays World Site Directory. It will be available from the British Naturism shop shortly - they've got the 2013 edition reduced to £6:

I expect the new one will be about £10 + postage, but I don't know for sure. The publisher is French - La Vie au Soleil. I received a copy in the post hot off the press from France yesterday - it includes discount coupons and other offers too.

I would expect the English language 2015 edition to be on the BN website within the next few days.

If you prefer to stay on the coast, then La Grande Cosse is certainly worth considering and I can highly recommend the 5-star Serignan Nature - both resorts are in Languedoc-Roussillon rather than Provence.

I would agree with naturislnl, and advise against driving from Euronat to Provence if you are doing this within one week. Remember that France is large - nearly 500 miles as the crow flies from the Atlantic coast to the Italian border.
If you want to visit inland from Euronat, take sunchaser's advice and buy the 2015 Naturist Holidays World Site Directory or visit the website of Fédération Française de Naturisme: these will provide you with quite a wide choice of naturist resorts that will not mean driving hundreds and hundreds of miles - and nevertheless visit great places of culture, history - and good food and wine.

All good advices. But if you tell us what you are looking for we only can speak about common things about campings.

In fact there no bad campings and some are better.

Maybee is  stay in the East Pyrenees also good. Then we advice La Claepre near Ceret.

Let us know hat you want.

Morning folks,

  Eglantiere in the foothills of the Pyrenees is about halfway from provence and euronat on the west coast.

We haven't been to l’Églantière yet, but it's possibly on our radar for this year - is it any good? Are there any open views from the site, or is the camping area in the trees? Is the site hilly or relatively level? I'd be grateful for any of your observations Norm.

Thanks, Mike

We visited three years ago. The site was good but avoid "the shelter" Its near the old farm house and when we went it was billed as having being re-vamped. It's in a lovely location right by the sauna with a large area of grass in front. Unfortunately the revamping wasn't up to anywhere near an acceptable standard - avoid. Its also someway out from the rest of the site. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would visit again but not in the same location.

Hi there Mike Sunchaser,

  Its about ten years since we were there,  the views are spectacular over towards the Pyrenees  Its a clean well kept site though not too big and with many Dutch people, the restaurant was certainly popular though it was in the high season . All this may have changed over the years but its part of France 4 so the  standards have to be ok, its well worth a visit on your many travels and  then let us know what you think. We tend towards the beach holidays so do not often stay more than a few days inland.

Many thanks Davie and Norm (Goldi) - appreciate your feedback. All being well, we aim to visit with our camper in June. And happy to report back.

At least in September you shouldn't have too much trouble with holiday traffic on the South of France motorways - at the height of the season they are jammed solid at weekends.

Before driving in France, check the traffic forecast with http://www.bison-fute.gouv.fr
You can actually download a calendar for the whole year with indications of the traffic that you can expect from http://www.bison-fute.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/Calendrier_2015_Bison_Fute_A5_DEFV2.pdf
Traffic on the North-South French motorways depends - among other factors - of the dates of school holidays in B, the NL and D, and this is worked into these projections.
Remember also that the main purpose of this calendar is to warn drivers, and that consequently you can always expect a fair number of drivers to decide to leave one day early or one day late. In other words, if a day is marked as black or red, the day before and the day after should be fairly difficult too, whatever the calendar says.
Another great site to plan in advance is http://www.vinci-autoroutes.com/fr/prevision-trafic

Thank you all for the thoughts and suggestions
The plan A was to take the motorcycle blast down to Euronat then stay in local accommodation as we toured around generally sight seeing
It is looking like we may have to go for plan B Denise has hurt her back and the recovery is quite long and slow so getting on and off the bike and sitting in one position for a while may be a challenge
So plan B is to take the car hit Euronat for a week then check out some nice camp sites - we really enjoy our tent so if we have the car we will have space for this
So picturesque areas, nice scenery pleasant drives good food and wine that sort of thing

Thanks again to all who have replied

If you want know nice campsites contact us.

By the way if you camp by tent you can better go to Arnaouchout (Arna) and place your tent in the "Far west".
