Yes that makes sense, checked it out already, wifey (to be) is delighted going to spend a few days there definately. Just looking for a site that is not too "corporate"

Not getting any work done!  Thanks Val.

This is from a posting on another website about the Gorges du Verdon area asking about campsites:

"The site at Les Salles was 'Camping La Source', (under Salles sur Verdon in Caravan Europe 1). This is a terraced site rising from the lakeside level up a steep(ish) hillside but the pitches are fairly flat. The higher up the hill the better the views of the turquoise coloured lake. Pitches are of a reasonable size, the lower ones, particularly, are mainly under trees. A new swimming pool was under construction when we were there in June although lake swimming in the crystal clear water is also allowed. Boats can be hired about 100m from the site entrance.

There is a back gate from the site into the village square which made for a very pleasant morning walk for the bread. The village doesn't really 'open' for tourists until the start of July.

The site is right next to another one, 'Les Pins' which is a little larger and appeared to be on less of a hillside - but perhaps doesn't enjoy the views of the lake or the direct access to the village."

If you're planning on visiting this area, then perhaps a different route to that mentioned previously would be to go via Grenoble and down the Route Napoleon, which takes you past the Verdon Gorge - a lovely route, winding through the mountains, and I'm sure some nice sites en-route.
