Camping Cœur d'Ardèche

These plots are equipped with a 10 amp electrical connection and as an optional extra you can hire a fridge and plancha here.

For those looking for increased comfort, the Cœur d’Ardèche offers mobile homes, able to accommodate from 2 to 8 people depending upon their layout, or chalets some of them even having a private Jacuzzi! For big families, a large chalet able to accommodate 8 to 10 people is available for hire. Air-conditioned, there is a TV, dishwasher and Jacuzzi. With all these models, you can hire sheets, baby kit, plancha, and have the breakfast only or half-board option.

Within this 4-star campsite in the Ardèche, holidaymakers can make the most of a swimming pool surrounded by sunloungers and paddling pool for the very young. Every morning, you can start your day with an aquaerobics session, before relaxing in the shade or having a cold drink at the snack bar.

A campsite by the river in the Ardèche

In the high season, children staying on this establishment can go to the Mizzi club every morning from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for craft activities, outdoor games or making holiday souvenirs, under the watchful eye of a qualified activity leader. They can also play darts and learn the dance moves for the mini-disco. Again to occupy and amuse children, this campsite also has a play area and trampoline.

Sports enthusiasts can meet up for volleyball games, beginners archery, matches on the multi-sport ground and pétanque tournaments. Moreover, Cœur d’Ardèche is laid out by the Le Boyon river, which, owing to a small reservoir located further upstream, forms a small quasi-lake at this point. Hence, you can also go fishing here or treat yourself to a pedalo trip! Come the evening, everyone meets up to take part in theme evenings: karaoke, bingo or even Zouk concerts (Caribbean dance music).

For lunch or evening meal, the “la Grange” restaurant offers menus with dishes served on slate plates, or theme nights, for example the “Brasero” event where the chef cooks dishes on a wood-fired plancha, or Gallic meal when ham and pork spareribs are cooked on a spit. Not forgetting the classic mussels and chips and paella evenings! Please note that this establishment also has a bread outlet and grocery for emergency provisions.

Discover the Ardèche with its treasures, from the eponymous gorge to the Mont Gerbier de Jonc volcanic mountain

The campsite is 10 kilometres from Privas, the Ardèche prefecture (administrative centre) listed as a Site Remarquable du Goût (the designation honouring regional specialities) owing to the renowned Crème de Marrons (chestnut purée spread) and Marrons Glacés (glazed chestnuts candied in sugar syrup). In July and August, the “Cordes en ballade” festival takes place here and offers touring concerts. Again during summer, the evening markets in Privas enable you to stock up on local produce and products.

Around Privas, no less than 42 hiking trips await you and 3 leisurely routes for cycle touring. These are the Dolce Via, Voie Douce de la Payre and the ViaRhôna. You can also go horse riding, climbing, paragliding or do water sports such as canoeing, stand up paddle boarding or canyoning.

Visit the character villages (with the Villages de Caractère outstanding architectural and landscape heritage designation) of Beauchastel and Chalancon. Enter the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Nature Park in search of the La Jaubernie fortified troglodyte caves, and go round Coux, a semi-fortified medieval village located along the Ouvèze valley having winding streets, old houses and archways. Lastly, a stay in the Ardèche is the chance to go down the fabulous Ardèche gorge, visit the Grotte Chauvet 2 cave or even go to the Mont Gerbier de Jonc volcanic mountain, discovering the three sources of the Loire, the longest river in France...
