Camping La Garenne is located amidst the beautiful nature of the département of Ardèche, in the valley of the Eyrieux River. Managed by Dutch people, this medium-sized family campsite is perfect for young and old alike. There are lovely villages and towns dotted around the area that are great for cultural visits, recreational activities in the high season and of course the stunning nature. The campsite is short walk from the forest. And there are various rivers in the nearby for canoeing adventures.

Pitches

The camping grounds are made up of an upper terrace and a lower terrace, which differ around 25 metres in height. Most of the pitches are located on level ground and a number on terraces. The ground at La Garenne is hard and rocky, so the use of pens is required. These are available at reception. The upper terrace has quiet pitches close to a path that leads into the forest or village. Trees, bushes or low walls built from river clay, in typical Ardèche style, create a sense of privacy between the pitches. There are a few XL pitches, most of which are located on the upper terrace. The pitches are interspersed with rental accommodation: mobile homes and safari tents.

For young and old

There is a recreation programme in the high season. The little ones can enjoy themselves at the 'mini club'. The campsite also has a playground and a paddling pool. Older children and adults can take a refreshing dip in the L-shaped pool.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Stayed two nights on our way south. Good pitch with views. Lovely pool area, overlooked by pleasant bar and restaurant, lovely quiet background music and fairy lights creating relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly. The village is not an attraction and down a steep hill. Great with an e bike. Beautiful countryside and views. Great that we could book and pay on the ACSI app and get a good discount. Ring to book the restaurant in advance. Smell was appetising!
Disliked - The restaurant was fully booked then closed so unable to use it during our two night stay.

Liked - La Garenne is een heel leuke camping voor jong en oud. Per dag zijn er 3 animaties maar die zijn wel echt heel leuk voor iedereen. Elke dag een minidisco en soms ook weerwolven, toen wij verbleven. Op dinsdag is geen animatie meestal en dus een aanrader om op die dag aan te komen. We hebben heel veel plezier gehad en met onze vouwwagen een ruim plekje gekregen. (Iedereen krijgt dat) Ook is de animatie en sommige personeelsleden zijn Nederlands. Super leuk!

Liked - Large pitch.
Disliked - Was not clear where to get fresh water and drain grey water. Very different to what we are used to in the UK..
Didn’t like the rule about Lycra trunks in the swimming pool. My husband has many pairs of clean swimming shorts which he only using for swimming, so they are very clean. Seems to be a very strange. ‘Hygiene’ rule.
