Flower Camping Mas de Champel

Just under an hour’s drive away lies Vallon-Pont-d’Arc, the gateway to the famous Gorges de l’Ardèche. Here you can take spectacular canoe trips through deep limestone gorges beneath the iconic Pont d’Arc: a natural arch bridge. Choose routes ranging from 6 to 30 kilometers, with or without rapids. Along the way, you can stop at pebble beaches, swim, and have a picnic. This experience is popular, so booking in advance is recommended. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience the Ardèche at its best. The town of Vallon Pont D'Arc is also well worth a visit for a fun market, something to eat, or a drink.

For adventurous holidaymakers, the area offers plenty of sporty opportunities such as canyoning, climbing and abseiling. Around Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut and Eyrieux Sport you can book guided tours, suitable for both beginners and advanced participants. Think of climbing along rock walls, descending into narrow gorges, or sliding down natural water slides. Perfect for teenagers, sporty families, or anyone who wants to do something active. The guides ensure safety and provide equipment. Make sure to book in advance during the high season.

Privas is the smallest prefecture town in France, but has a charming historic center. Wander through the narrow streets, visit the local market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and taste the famous marrons glacés (candied chestnuts). In the summer there are lively evening markets and cultural events. The town is only a 15-minute drive from the campsite and is ideal for a short cultural outing or enjoying a drink on a French terrace. There are also several supermarkets and shops for your practical shopping needs.
