Dive into the Ardèche and experience the water
The Ardèche river flows right past the campsite and invites you to take action. Rent a canoe, hop on a SUP board, or find a quiet spot on the little beach to swim and sunbathe. The clear water and green banks create that typical South French holiday feeling. Perfect for families who want to splash around, relax, and enjoy the outdoors together.


Discover the Monts d’Ardèche Nature Park
In the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Monts d’Ardèche you will find endless hiking trails, viewpoints, and rugged landscapes. Put on your hiking boots or get on a mountain bike to explore forests, valleys, and volcanic hills. Nature literally starts just around the corner here, so you can plan a new adventure every day without having to drive far.
Explore charming villages and markets in the region
Surrounding Lalevade-d’Ardèche are atmospheric villages where you can experience true French life. Visit Aubenas, just a few kilometers away, and wander through narrow streets filled with terraces, boutiques, and local markets. In the summer months, nearly every village hosts an evening market with regional products, music, and lively ambiance. Picturesque places such as Balazuc and Vogüé, officially recognized as ‘Plus Beaux Villages,’ are also perfect for a day out. Here you can stroll past old stone houses, medieval alleys, and viewpoints above the river. Combine culture with an ice cream in the village square and end your day with dinner on a sunny terrace.
Experience action, adventure, and French holiday vibes
The Ardèche is known for its adventurous character. Go climbing in a treetop adventure park, take a canyoning tour, or discover impressive caves in the region. For cyclists and hikers, there are routes for all levels, from relaxing trips along the river to sporty mountain trails with panoramic views. Families will also find plenty of variety here with recreation parks and small zoos in the area. Thanks to the sunny climate, life here largely takes place outdoors. Be active in nature during the day and enjoy long, balmy evenings under the stars at night. The region combines sports, nature, and relaxation in a way that makes every holiday day different.

This family-friendly campsite is frequently praised for its exceptionally friendly and service-oriented staff, who warmly welcome guests and are always ready to help. The lively animations and cosy atmosphere create a relaxed holiday experience, with both children and adults enjoying the varied activities. The location near the river and Intermarché adds to the convenience during your stay. Points for attention include the relatively small swimming pools that can feel cramped especially during high season, and room for improvement in cleanliness and hygiene in sanitary facilities and pool area.

After 6 years, we came back and it was even better than before.
Great location: pools, water slide, adult spa, and a beautiful river right next door.
The Intermarché right nearby is the best.
We chose the 3-meal plan—the food is delicious and the portions are generous.
That’s exactly the spirit here—family-friendly and generous.
You feel right at home, and the atmosphere is very family-oriented.
And what can I say about the activity leaders and staff—they’re all equally lovely.
Mekanie leads her team with boundless energy and kindness.
She’s a genuine person who truly loves her job and the people.
The activities are designed for everyone—kids, teens, and adults—and are well-balanced; nothing is forced.
I don’t understand the negative reviews; I think those people are never happy with anything, no matter what happens.
A big round of applause to the entire team who braved the massive hailstorm we endured on Wednesday.
They went out into the storm amid huge hailstones, risking getting hit on the head—and believe me, an 8-cm hailstone can really hurt.
They went to check on the campers in trouble to bring them to shelter and got them all moved to safety.
Hats off to all of you for your courage!
We won’t wait six years to come back, and a huge thank you for this wonderful vacation—it really is a camping paradise!
Thank you for this superb week of vacation! Great activities, and a big thank you to Lucie, the kids’ club leader—she’s fantastic. The river right next door is great, with that fun little current. The owners are lovely. They run the campground as a family, managing everything from A to Z. Kudos on the organization! It’s paradise for young and old alike. We came as a family and felt like part of your family. It really tugged at our heartstrings to leave you. We can’t think of anything else but one thing: coming back!this is a translation, click here for the original
Après 6 ans, nous sommes revenus et c était encore mieux qu avant.
Super situation : piscines, tobogán, spa pour adultes et magnifique rivière à côté.
L Intermarché juste a proximité c est le top.
Nous avons pris le forfait 3 repas , c est super bon et généreux.
Justement ici, c est l esprit, familial et généreux.
On se sent bien et l' esprit est très familial.
Et que dire des animateurs et le personnel qui sont tous autant adorables les uns que les autres.
Mekanie dirige son équipe avec une énergie et une bienveillance débordante.
C est une personne vraie et qui aime vraiment son métier et les gens.
Les animations sont faites pour tous, petits, ados, grands et bien dosées, on ne force pas.
Je ne comprends pas les avis négatifs, je pense que ces gens ne sont jamais contents de rien quoi qu il arrive.
Un grand bravo à toute l équipe qui a bravé l orage de grêle énorme que nous avons subis mercredi.
Ils sont sortis sous d énormes grêlons avec le risque de s en prendre un sur la tête et croyez moi un grêlons de 8 cm ça peut faire mal.
Ils sont passés voir les campeurs en galère pour les amener a l abri et ils les ont tous relogés.
Un grand bravo pour votre courage a vous tous !
Nous n attendrons pas 6 ans pour revenir et un grand merci pour ces vacances merveilleuses, c est vraiment le paradis des campings !
Merci a vous pour cette superbe semaine de vacances ! Supers animations et un grand merci à Lucie l animatrice du club enfant qui est géniale. La rivière est top a côté avec ce petit courant bien amusant. Les proprios sont adorables. Ils travaillent en famille et gèrent tout le camping de A à Z. Bravo pour l organisation ! Cest le paradis pour petits et grands. Nous sommes venus en famille et on s est sentis intégrés dans votre famille. On a eu un gros pincement au coeur en vous quittant. On ne pense plus qu à une chose chose : revenir ! -

Positive aspect of this campground: The bungalow is decent.
There’s an Intermarché next door for grocery shopping.
Negative aspect of this campground
The children’s playground equipment is all in poor condition and unsanitary.
As for the pool with the slide, the landing area is not suitable for sliding down—there’s a high risk of injury.
A dirty fitness center where none of the equipment works.
The activities need to be reevaluated; there’s a lack of professionalism.
In conclusion, there’s a serious lack of hygiene.this is a translation, click here for the original
Point positif de ce camping. Le bungalow est correct.
Intermarché à côté pour faire ses commissions.
Point négatif de ce camping
Les équipements de jeux pour enfants sont tous salle est insalubre.
Pour la piscine avec toboggan elle n'est pas adaptée à la descente pour la réception gros risque de blessure.
Une sale fitness ou aucun appareil ne fonctionne.
Pour les activités à revoir, manque de professionnalisme
Pour conclure un gros manque d'hygiène. -

Disappointing for a 4-star campground – Lack of maintenance
We stayed at this campground as a family two weeks ago. For a 4-star campground, the quality simply isn’t there. General maintenance leaves much to be desired, and the staff’s behavior is highly questionable.
What ruined our stay:
The noise and the attitude of the activity leaders: One evening, we were scolded for making noise around 10:30 p.m. It’s the height of irony when you consider that the night before, the entire entertainment staff area was making an unbelievable racket until 3 a.m. without anyone saying a word to them. Yes, we’re on vacation and we like to have fun too, so we get it. We found this “double standard” particularly inappropriate.
The surroundings of the mobile homes: The activity staff area (right next to our accommodations) is awful. Nothing is hidden: it’s covered with a tarp in a weird way, and there’s even a concrete mixer sitting in the middle; bags of all kinds are scattered under the accommodations—it’s really subpar. It completely lacks finishing touches and hygiene.
Pool hygiene: Very subpar. The footbath is full of sand, and since you walk through the sand right before getting in, you end up stepping into the water with dirty feet. A clear lack of maintenance.
The wellness area: The hot tub and wellness area are frankly not inviting.
In short, the facilities of a 4-star hotel may be there on paper, but the maintenance, cleanliness, and professionalism of the staff fall far short.this is a translation, click here for the original
Décevant pour un 4 étoiles – Manque d'entretien
Nous avons séjourné en famille dans ce camping il y a deux semaines. Pour un établissement affichant 4 étoiles, le standing n'est pas du tout au rendez-vous. L'entretien général laisse à désirer et le comportement de l'équipe est très limite.
Ce qui a gâché notre séjour :
Le bruit et l'attitude des animateurs : Un soir, nous nous sommes fait réprimander pour le bruit vers 22h30. C'est un comble quand on sait que la veille, toute la zone des animateurs a fait un bazar pas possible jusqu'à 3h du matin sans que personne ne leur dise rien. Oui nous sommes en vacances et on aime s'amuser aussi donc on comprend. On a trouvé ce "deux poids, deux mesures" particulièrement déplacé.
L'environnement des mobil-homes : La zone des animateurs (juste à côté de nos hébergements) est affreuse. Rien n'est caché : c'est bâché bizarrement et il y a même une bétonnière qui traîne au milieu, sous les logements des sacs en tout genre cest vraiment très moyen Ça manque totalement de finitions et d'hygiène.
L'hygiène de la piscine : Très moyenne. Le pédiluve est plein de sable, et comme on marche dans le sable juste avant, on finit par rentrer dans l'eau avec les pieds sales. Un manque d'entretien évident.
Le coin bien-être : Le jacuzzi et l'espace bien-être ne sont franchement pas engageants.
En bref, les infrastructures d'un 4 étoiles sont peut-être là sur le papier, mais l'entretien, la propreté et la rigueur de l'équipe ne suivent pas du tout. -

I had a wonderful vacation! It was my first time going camping, and honestly, I don’t regret it at all. I loved the family-friendly atmosphere: it wasn’t too crowded, which made the stay really enjoyable. There’s a wide variety of activities—something for everyone. And if you add the spa as an extra, it’s a real bonus: an incredibly relaxing experience!
A huge thank you to Nathan and Clara! Thanks to them, I was never bored. They made me laugh so much and brought a real zest for life to the campground. Thanks also to the owners, who were always smiling, welcoming, and very friendly.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it with great pleasure. I recommend this campground 100%!this is a translation, click here for the original
J’ai passé de très bonnes vacances ! C’était la première fois que je partais en camping, et franchement je ne regrette pas du tout. J’ai adoré l’ambiance familiale : il n’y a pas trop de monde, ce qui rend le séjour vraiment agréable. Les activités sont variées, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Et si on ajoute le spa en supplément, c’est un vrai plus : un incroyable moment de détente !
Un immense merci à Nathan et Clara ! Grâce à eux, je ne me suis jamais ennuyée. Ils m’ont fait énormément rire et ont apporté une vraie joie de vivre au camping. Merci aussi aux propriétaires, toujours souriants, accueillants et très agréables.
Si c’était à refaire, ce serait avec grand plaisir. Je recommande ce camping à 100 % !
