Camping holidays in the Ardèche

Camping in the Ardèche is a great way to experience some of France’s most spectacular countryside. This is an area of breathtaking natural beauty, with wide open spaces, clear flowing rivers and an abundance of wildlife. Remains of remarkable Roman architecture are still evident in many towns, and ruins of medieval castles and tiny villages cling to the sides of cliffs – all great places to explore whilst camping in the Ardèche.

Our portfolio of campsites in the Ardèche are family friendly, with children’s clubs, playgrounds and swimming pool complexes to keep the little ones entertained. You can stay in one of our spacious tents or luxury mobile homes in the Ardèche, and there is plenty for adults to do as well, with sports facilities onsite and numerous local attractions in the surrounding area.

Pont du Gard

Pont du Gard is a huge, three tiered aqueduct constructed by the Romans to supply water to Nîmes. The best view is from a hill on the northern side - on hot days, enjoy a cooling swim in the river before returning to your luxury campsite in the Ardèche.

Avignon

Avignon is an artistic and cultural centre surrounded by 14th century ramparts. The first bridge to span the Rhône was built here in the 12th century - visit its remains and the small chapel which stands on the second pillar. A great town to visit while camping in the Ardèche.

Gorges du Tarn

Gorges du Tarn is the best known natural phenomena of the area stretch for 30 miles between Florac and Le Rozier. You will find a succession of beautiful viewpoints and many footpaths to explore.

St Jean du Gard

Catch Le Train à Vapeur des Cévennes from this bright and cheerful town, and chug through the spectacular scenery of the Vallée des Gordons in an old fashioned steam train.

Pont d’Arc

Pont d’Arc is a magnificent natural arch with many pathways leading down to its base. One of the best ways to enjoy its natural beauty is from the clear waters - take an organised canoe descent with the family while you are camping in the Ardèche.
