Our riverside campsites
Gentle water, warm sunshine and enough white water sports to satisfy any adrenaline junkie... A holiday by the river has all the advantages of a stay washed by the ocean waves!
Far from the overcrowded beaches of the seaside in high season, come with all your favourite campers and settle yourselves on a riverbank pitch or in the comfort of a spacious fully-equipped mobile home. The decor is lush and green, the air pure and the atmosphere peaceful: the ideal setting to combine relaxation and activities in the heart of nature! A romantic excursion along the Loire, a family trip down the Verdon by canoe-kayak, or a spot of fly fishing on the River Lomme there’s nothing better than a return to our watery origins to soothe both body and mind.
In fact, if you’re a keen angler, don’t hesitate to bring your equipment with you: our campsites with their own fishing lake mean that you’ll be able to make the most of your favourite activity as often as you like! But to enjoy it at its best don’t forget you’ll need a fishing licence, and that it’s “catch and release” only. Here’s hoping the fish will be biting... happy angling!
And for any camper who tends to feel the cold, simply swap the water of the river for that of the heated swimming pools of our water parks: sliding, swimming or relaxing, to each their own. Here everything is possible!
Our great ideas for your campsite holiday
Kayaking, rafting, SUP or canyoning, you’ll soon be a past master at all the white water sports!
You prefer a good hike? Set off to conquer the footpaths that follow the river as you explore a whole new world!
