Camping Les Bois du Châtelas - Ciela Village is in the natural green, mountainous French department of Drôme. It is a medium-sized family campsite with plenty of activities for the whole family. Play in the water playground, splash in the indoor or outdoor swimming pool, exercise in the gym or sing along during an organised karaoke evening. You won't get bored at this campsite.

Camping in a forested area

The campsite is in a mountainous, forested area. You have stunning views of the surrounding mountains from your pitch or accommodation. You can stay there in your own camping equipment or hire a luxury accommodation.

Fun in the water in the Drôme

Water fun is guaranteed at camping Les Bois du Châtelas - Ciela Village. The outdoor swimming pool is no less than 1,000 m2 in size and there is plenty to do. The youngest campsite guests can splash about in the paddling pool, there is a large water playground and older children can whizz down the slide. And when it's raining, guests can swim in the indoor swimming pool. You can relax in the sauna, the hot tub or on one of the many sun loungers on the sunny patio.

No time to get bored

In the high season, the entertainment team organises activities for the whole family. Creative activities such as face painting and crafting. Sporting activities such as sports tournaments and treasure hunts. Party evenings and shows are also organised for young and old. Moreover, there are enough amenities for you to do sport. Use the multi-sports grounds, the outdoor gym equipment and the fitness room. So you can even keep nice and active during your holiday.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - This was our second time at Les Bois du Châtelas. We were moved from a Premium Prestige mobile to a Privilege one. While the spa/hot tub was nice, the mobile home was pretty basic and very small. The location of the campsite is second to none in terms of scenery. It is spectacular. The pool area is lovely and the slides are great. We were pleased that the pool bar was open with more regularity this year.
Disliked - The animation team was truly terrible. Led by Polo, who spoke not a single word of English or Dutch, the team were very poor and the quality of the entertainment was appalling. It was great in 2023 so this was really disappointing for us as a family. We would not return despite really enjoying other aspects of the holiday.

Liked - We stayed there for 10 days. Very nice swimming pool with spacious pitches
Disliked - The clearing of the sanitary building was insufficient. The toilets had difficulty drainage and the smell in the building was unbearable.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Well-run campsite - clean, tidy, and well maintained. Not too big - excellent facilities. Good pitches with great views. Pretty quiet at night. Would consider going here again and using this company again.
Disliked - Restaurant booking was a bit hit and miss - seemed like they were under-staffed some evenings. Food was good though.
