Nestled along the Ardèche River, this family-run campsite charms guests with its peaceful atmosphere and direct access to a private sandy beach. The warm welcome from the owners, Cédric and Nathalie, is consistently praised, creating a genuine family vibe without unnecessary frills. Cleanliness is a standout feature, with regular upkeep of sanitary facilities and well-maintained pitches that include picnic tables. The private beach and river access are highlights, offering sunbathing spots and crystal-clear water for swimming, with complimentary sun loungers available. From late August, dogs are welcomed on the beach, adding to its appeal for pet owners. The surrounding region is wonderful for outdoor enthusiasts, with scenic walking and cycling routes, including easy e-bike rides to Aubenas. Evening entertainment like bingo nights, concerts, paella nights, and karaoke adds a convivial atmosphere, yet the campsite remains quiet and restful, with entertainment ending at a reasonable hour. The snack bar and restaurant serve tasty meals, and fresh bread can be ordered in the morning. Pitches are spacious, shaded with trees, and offer a calming backdrop of the river, though some vary in size and quality. The sanitary facilities are modern, impeccably clean, and well-stocked, though some reviewers note a lack of toilet paper and no hot water after 11 PM. The access road is narrow and challenging for larger vehicles like campervans and caravans. Noise from a nearby main road can be audible, especially in the morning, but many find the surroundings tranquil once settled. WiFi is unreliable and expensive, while mobile data reception is generally good. The on-site shop has a limited selection of groceries and beach supplies, and the snack bar menu could be more varied. The playground could use renovation, and the riverbank for dogs lacks shade. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance, especially near the water. Mixed-gender toilets were noted by one guest. Despite minor drawbacks, the enchanting setting, clean facilities, and lovely hosts leave many visitors extending their stay and planning return trips. The campsite offers strong value for money, especially in low season, and is ideal for those seeking relaxation, nature, and river access, though it may not suit guests looking for vibrant nightlife or extensive on-site activities.
