Camping Les Arches ****
General information
Park-like camping in the Ardèche
Les Arches is a park-like 4-star campsite with lots of trees and shrubs in the fantastic Ardèche. Here you will experience the peace and quiet of nature, and you can visit many places of interest in the vicinity. This friendly campsite is particularly suitable for families with young children.The natural swimming pool is an eye catcher
The terrain mainly has touring pitches and most of the surface is grassy. The many tree and plant species provide pleasant shade. The central point of Les Arches campsite is the water park with a heated outdoor pool and paddling pool, water slide and sun deck. Near the river La Claduègne, which flows through the middle of the campsite, a large natural swimming pool is created in high season. The perfect spot for paddling, catching tadpoles or building dams. You can keep an eye on the children from the beach. There is also a playground and football field nearby, and in high season there is a bar. There is a waterfall a few minutes’ walk away where you can also enjoy a nice swim.Entertainment, but not excessive
The campsite doesn't want to overload you with activities all day long. There is plenty to see and do in the area. There are occasional sports and craft activities for children, entertaining activities for complete families and original activities for adults as well as musical performances. There are also a number of playgrounds scattered around the campsite and some sports fields and play equipment.Delicious dining with the site’s own wines
The campsite has a traditional bar-restaurant with a large patio and a play corner for the little ones. Taste the campsite’s homemade wine. For a quick bite you can eat pizza or something from the snack bar. The bread and breakfast service is very pleasant. The Sunday barbecue evening with salad buffet is something you simply must attend.Plenty to do and see
Les Arches campsite is surrounded by farmlands, sheep and vineyards in a rolling landscape. An old train viaduct, now only used for bicycles, with characteristic arches is where the campsite gets its name from. There’s great walking and cycling in the immediate vicinity. There are several small rivers for swimming in the area. A must-see is the Pont d'Arc over the river Ardèche. The Ardèche lends itself perfectly to sportive, cultural and leisure activities. Many water sports are possible, and for the more adventurous there are plenty of opportunities for challenging outdoor sports. The friendly people at the reception will give you plenty of tips for great trips and outings.
