Camping Les Lavandes

Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool with renovated steps and enjoy the playful children's area, where the little ones can safely splash, slide and spin endlessly in the shallow water. While you relax on a lounger with a book or a drink, you will hear laughter and get that real vacation feeling. In the hammock corner, shady and wonderfully relaxed, you enjoy the view over the water and the happy kids. And right outside the campground, just a five-minute walk away, you'll meet a babbling river. Put on your water shoes, let your feet cool in the clear stream and follow the water's path through the green valley together.  

This small-scale, cosy campsite is bustling with fun and freedom. For the little ones, there is a craft corner and play corner, safely close to the lounge, where you can watch them quietly with a cup of coffee. Older children climb in wooden cabins and slide down large slides, all the while swinging on the fireman's pole. Matches at the giant chess and checkers board bring fun interaction between families. Table tennis and table soccer provide fun competition, while the obvious spot for bocce ball in the bumpy pebble courts provides a joyful challenge. In the cosy games room, you'll spot pool, air hockey, board games and an international library—even in Dutch!—where you may borrow, exchange or take away books all day. During the school holidays, you will enjoy themed evenings with paëlla parties, karaoke, bingo, music nights and talent shows. Even outside the high season, there is fun, with quizzes, board games and interactive scavenger hunts. All this under the relaxed heading: do what you feel like, without obligations, in a casual atmosphere.

Discover the Ardèche to the fullest! Hike or bike along spectacular gorges, visit the iconic Chauvet Caves (World Heritage Site since 2014) and marvel at the dramatic Aven d’Orgnac. Wander through charming mountain villages like Voguë with its medieval castle tower, and almost stumble across authentic markets where you can sample local produce and learn about local wine. Sports enthusiasts rock slide at climbing routes, canoe down the river, brave via ferrata trails or explore underground worlds in canyoneering and cave tours. Motorcyclists and bikers will also find challenging routes thanks to the ready-made maps the campsite has for you. Time for total relaxation? The thermal baths in Vals-les-Bains are nearby, where you can indulge in natural wellness. Or opt for a night out at the casino or a show in Vals or Aubenas. For foodies, there are culinary gems in the area – ambience included and village hospitality assured.
