Camping Ardèche » Riverside campsite in Ardeche

A camping trip
by the river

Are you looking for a mobile home rental at a riverside campsite in South Ardeche? Thanks to the location of our campsite in Ardeche at the riverside of the Chassezac river, a tributary of Ardeche, our campers can indulge in the pleasures of water during their stay, such as rafting down the Ardeche river, water sports in the Ardeche Canyon or canoeing in the heart of nature.

Where is the river near the campsite?

The river and its pebble beach are directly accessible just a few steps from your mobile home rental at the campsite. For a real nature vacation with your feet in the water, you and your family are welcome in our riverside vacation village. When you’re not having fun in our water park, the whole family can enjoy natural swimming and water activities on the river.

Camping with your feet in the water!

The Chassezac flows all along the Ranc Davaine. There are two direct pathways to the river at Ranc Davaine: one past the football pitch leading to a pebble beach. At this point the water level is often quite low, so usually in summer you can easily cross the river on foot to get to Adventure Camp.

The other access to the river is between sites P109 and D108, behind Sanitaire 2, which leads to shady banks with some deeper water.

We’re not allowed to put steps or paved routes acces the river due to local legislation to protect the river’s natural banks. Access is not easy for people with reduced mobility or with pushchairs.

Swimming in the river is not supervised. Swimming shorts, balls and inflatables are all permitted, unlike in our pools! Please pick up your litter and respect the plants, wildlife and other people who enjoy this natural area.

Riverside activities for the whole family

With the sun shining and the water mild and cool, it’ll be hard to resist the call of a swim. Whether you choose to splash around with the kids, dive in for a refreshing dip on a hot summer’s day, or swim or walk across the river, depending on location and season… there’s something for everyone.

On the river’s shady banks, fans of beach games and farniente will be able to relax, sunbathe, read a book… Picnics, sunbathing and ricochets are also popular.

Sensational thrills in the Ardeche Gorge

If you’ve got energy to burn, try your hand at inflatable boats, canoeing down the river, canyoning or stand-up paddle…. The Ardeche’s tributaries and its famous gorges host a variety of white-water sports. But don’t forget to book your activity – our information desk at reception is there to help!

Fishermen will also enjoy a calm, natural environment in which to indulge their passion. You can fish for trout as well as carp and other species on the Ardeche, and even in the Chassezac, with direct access from the campsite! What could be more natural than this magnificent setting in which to concentrate? A fishing license is required.

Looking for the comfort of camping in the evening? Keep on swimming in the campsites’ swimming pool. In short, your vacation at our riverside campsite in Ardeche is the time to take the plunge.

Fishing, canyoning, canoeing, swimming, you name it!

Remember to book your activities (canoeing, canyoning, …) at the campsite information point located at the reception of your riverside campsite.
