megane gautheret 5/5
I was just passing through for the weekend to see my parents and children. Unfortunately, both my children were very ill, but the attentiveness, empathy and kindness of the owners and their team enabled me to have a good weekend in spite of everything. Without judgement or pretension, the owner called several numbers so that my children could see a doctor.
Over and above the sense of family, this is a simple campsite, close to the people, with facilities that make you want to do anything but leave!
The staff are very attentive and the site is extremely clean!
Thank you very much! See you next year and without germs this time! 😂

Great family campsite. We stopped several nights during our mountain bike tour (Viarhona) the pitches are large, sanitary facilities and showers tip top. The campsite managers are friendly, available and caring. The swimming pool is nice, although quickly shaded in September.
Don't hesitate to relax in the peace and quiet of this campsite. Beware, access by bike: steep climb.

Practical Guide – Make the most of your experience in Ardèche
To fully immerse yourself in the South of France, careful preparation is key. Unlike traditional holidays, camping in southern Ardèche, between scrubland and limestone cliffs, requires specific equipment:
- Sleeping equipment: Choose a double-walled tent with good ventilation for starry nights in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc and sturdy pegs suitable for the rocky ground typical of the Ardèche Gorges.
- Protection and climate: Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen (biodegradable to protect the river) and technical outdoor clothing suitable for the temperature variations between sunny days in the valley and cool nights in the nature reserve.
- Hiking accessories: Walking shoes with grippy soles for exploring the GR trails and binoculars for observing Bonelli's eagles nesting in the canyon.
- Eco-responsibility: A reusable water bottle and a sealed rubbish bag to comply with the Slow Tourism charter in force in the region.
Enjoying an outdoor holiday near the famous Pont d'Arc requires a few insider tips. Here's how to turn your trip into a truly "wild" adventure with all the comforts of home:
- Strategic location: When setting up, position your tent facing the Cévennes or the Vercors massif to enjoy the first rays of sunshine while staying protected from the Mistral wind.
- Connect and disconnect: Use our high-performance Wi-Fi to plan your itineraries via the Tourist Office, but don't forget to look up and admire the Milky Way, which is particularly clear above the Nature Reserve.
- Respect for the Ecosystem: Adopt the principles of "Leave No Trace" to preserve the exceptional biodiversity of this listed site. By using eco-friendly cleaning products, you are helping to safeguard the global geological heritage we share.
- Local Planning: Find out about market days in Vallon-Pont-d'Arc or Ruoms so you can enjoy local products (chestnuts, goat's cheese) directly at your built-in picnic table.
By following these international standard recommendations, you can enjoy an authentic, safe and deeply rejuvenating getaway close to the wild nature of the Ardèche.
