A high-end holiday resort in the Ardèche
Rives d’Arc is a distinguished camping and caravanning destination in the Vivarais, an authentic campsite with an aquatic park in the Ardèche. The campsite, where peace and greenery all have their place, is located by the water, on a bank of the Ardèche river. In the village of Vallon Pont d’Arc, the stronghold of the Pont d’Arc natural arch marking the gateway to the famous Gorges de l’Ardèche (Ardèche gorges), this establishment invites you to come here and make the most of its matchless dolce vita.
This 4-star campsite in the Ardèche offers its holidaymakers the chance to stay in modern and cosy accommodation.

The “Classique” and “Confort” bungalows are perfectly equipped and enable you, thanks to their outdoor terrace, to fully make the most of the Ardèche sun rays. The Furnished Tents delight those who love to integrate holiday rental comfort with the spirit of camping. Lastly, the “Folies” cabins blend perfectly into their surroundings. These Tiny House rentals are out-of-the-ordinary accommodation, with just the bare necessities to feel truly at one with nature...
The Rives d’Arc also makes superb plots available for campers, to pitch their tents or park their caravans and campers.

To discover the best in local gastronomy, you should go to the campsite’s Avalon restaurant. On-site or for takeaways, the latter is open every day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. It is notably possible to enjoy gambas (King Prawns), Magret de Canard (duck breast made using Moulard duck) and even Caillette Ardéchoise (Ardèche-style meatball made of pork, liver and greens), in dishes combining quality and originality. In addition, the restaurant offers a large range of regional wines. The grocery, open 7 days a week, enables you to buy these products – no need to take your car! Conveniently, the latter also features a bakery collection point.
Around the campsite, the Gorges de l’Ardèche region offers you the opportunity to do numerous sports activities. Kayak descents, potholing in the caves, canyoning and treetop adventure are notably on the menu. For those who prefer cultural trips, the Chauvet 2 cave is one of the absolute must-sees of the region. The Chauvet cave, rated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, being inaccessible to the public, you should go to the Grotte Chauvet 2 cave, its replica, to discover the entire history of this masterpiece of rock art. During the trip, you will pass between stalagmites and stalactites before reaching the “Galerie de l’Aurignacien” (“Aurignacian Gallery”), a recreational area. This enables you to learn more about our ancestors and their lives in the past.
Moreover, as holidays are above all intended for rest and relaxation, what better than sitting down on one of the two beaches on the Pont d’Arc site. With breathtaking views over the Ardèche river flowing along the banks, you can spread out your towel on the pebbles and indulge in idleness!
