Camping Laborie is a family-run campsite nestled along the banks of the Ardèche River, offering a serene and nature-focused retreat. The property is deeply shaded by mature plane trees, creating a cool haven even during heatwaves, and many pitches and mobile homes enjoy lovely river views. Cleanliness is a standout feature across the years, with sanitary blocks kept spotless and well-stocked, though a few guests note occasional shortages during peak times. The staff and owners are consistently praised for their warm, attentive hospitality, making everyone feel genuinely welcome. The swimming pool is a popular spot, though some find it a bit small or crowded in high season, and the river provides a natural swimming area with shallow access ideal for children and dogs. Direct river access allows guests to swim, play, and launch canoe trips right from the property. The Ardèche region brims with activities, including canoeing, cycling on the nearby Via Ardèche, paragliding, and exploring medieval villages like Balazuc and the Pont d'Arc. The on-site restaurant and bar serve satisfying meals, with particular praise for pizzas and hamburgers, though service can be slow during busy periods and opening hours may be limited off-season. A daily bread delivery service is available for convenience. Evening entertainment and activities create a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere, appealing to families with young children. The campsite's peaceful setting is interrupted only by birdsong and river sounds, though some pitches near the road experience traffic noise. Pitches are spacious and well-shaded, with some offering views over the river. The entrance drive has poor visibility, making exit onto the main road hazardous, and the playground could be safer for very young kids. Local shopping requires a drive, with a small SPAR 4 km away and a larger Super U about 7 km in Ruoms. WiFi and electricity are not included in the price, requiring an extra budget. Pets are warmly welcomed and can even swim in the river. Overall, Camping Laborie is an ideal base for families and nature lovers seeking a calm, shady, and friendly camping experience with direct water access and a strong sense of community.
