riverside: nature, swimming and relaxation on the Chassezac river
A NATURAL BEACH
at the foot of the campsite
Just a few meters from your accommodation, you’ll find our wild beach on the banks of the Chassezac. The setting is exceptional: clear water, pebbles, sand and natural shade.
The area is ideal for children, with shallow areas, but also for lovers of more sporty swimming or moments of tranquillity. In summer, it’s a favorite spot for campers to read, picnic, cool off or improvise a game of waterside Frisbee.
Families find it a convivial place to share simple moments, while nature lovers appreciate the calm and beauty of the surroundings. At the end of the day, the golden light on the river creates a soothing atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. Some holidaymakers set up their towels in the morning to make the most of the day, between swimming, playing and relaxing.
Reserved exclusively for campsite guests, this private beach guarantees peace, security and tranquillity all day long.
River activitieswithin easy reach
Thanks to its privileged location, Lou Rouchetou is an excellent starting point for water sports. From the campsite, or just a few minutes’ walk away, you can enjoy :
- canoeing or paddling
- river fishing
- canyoning and via ferrata
- a simple stroll with your feet in the water
For those who wish to alternate between the two, our aquatic area offers the pleasures of swimming in a calm, green setting.
Children have fun exploring the river banks, observing fish or building pebble dams, while parents enjoy the surrounding nature. Supervised outings can be organized by local service providers to discover the gorges in a more sporting or educational way. Whether you’re looking for thrills or relaxation, the river offers a multitude of options to enhance your stay.
LIVING THE ARDECHE“feet in the water
This direct contact with the river reflects the spirit of camping: nature, freedom, respect for the environment and shared pleasure. Many holidaymakers choose our bare pitches so they can set up their tent or van as close as possible to the riverbank and enjoy an immersive, uninterrupted holiday.
In the morning, you can sip your coffee as the mist rises over the water. In the evening, you watch the sunset. And in between, you simply live.
Some holidaymakers adopt a lifestyle that’s as close to nature as possible: reading in the shade of trees, napping to the sound of the river, sharing meals in the open air. This type of stay attracts campers in search of authenticity, who appreciate simple comfort and essential pleasures. It’s also a natural way for neighbors to get to know each other over a swim. In this way, you can discover the Ardèche in its most authentic light, where you can relax, share and marvel at the everyday.
