  • Family campsite with a private beach in the Gorges de l’Ardèche
  • Pont d’Arc 20 minutes’ walk; Aven d’Orgnac half an hour’s drive
  • Bar-café and grocery store on site; free shuttle to Vallon-Pont-d’Arc
Sitting in the spectacular Gorges de l’Ardèche in the south of the Ardèche, Camping du Midi has a superb location with direct access to a private sandy beach and – yes, there’s more – the site is 20 minutes’ walk from the soaring Pont d’Arc rock arch spanning the river. With the mighty walls of the gorge as a backdrop, pitches are partially shaded by leafy trees. Handy on-site facilities include a modern shower block with hot water, a small playground, ping pong tables and a pétanque court. Eat out in the bar-café, or go self-catering and replenish your stocks at the grocery store. The free shuttle (every half an hour) is a handy way to get into Vallon-Pont-d’Arc for supermarket jaunts and a host of eateries from traditional bakeries to trendy pizzerias. However, the undoubted star of the show at Camping du Midi is the Ardèche Gorges National Nature Reserve itself; when the mood takes you, explore the gorge, go wild swimming and fishing, or paddle downstream in a canoe… You can organise excursions and gear hire at reception. But all that activity isn’t compulsory, so it’s lucky that the beach is also a very pretty spot for simply chilling with pals, or catching some sunshine as you splash around with the kids in the pristine waters.

Liked: Such a stunning environment with a friendly/supportive energy. The people running the campsite are really relaxed and also incredibly helpful. Great to be close to, and able to swim in the river. Also, kayak availability from here on the site.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Great location. Some pitches were right on the rivers edge. The river and option to hire boats was great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Lovely little campsite. Basic facilities but all clean and tidy. The site was pretty quiet from about 9.30pm.

From the manager: Bonjour,
Je regrette que vous n'ayez trouvé pas très commodes car nous faisons toujours notre possible pour être le plus agréable et au soin de nos clients même si parfois eux même ne soit pas toujours bien lunés ! Et pour le bruit probablement que vous êtes tombé sur la mauvaise soirée , car au contraire cette année le camping a été relativement calme ! Bien cordialement, Yannick

Liked: Schöne Lage am Fluss, ruhig, sauber

Disliked: Stellplatz war zur Hälfte eine Baustelle mit tiefem Loch. Enttäuschend, dass solche Plätze zum Normalpreis vermietet werden. Alternative wurde nicht vorgeschlagen, obwohl auf dem Camping noch Plätze frei waren.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Friendly staff, good location, lots of trees so shade from the sun. Canoeing available on site. Great to have direct access to the river, and stunning views. Bring shoes as it's sharp stones!

Disliked: No freezer/fridge available for ice packs. There is a bar nearby but nothing in easy walking distance for food, and nothing sold on campsite Toilet block was not the cleanest.

Local attractions

Fast-moving and thrill-inducing activities available in the Gorges de l’Ardèche include whitewater rafting – the departure point for bold adventurers is five minutes’ walk away. If you just fancy a gentler way to get out on the river, paddle canoes downstream to the landmark Pont d’Arc for a picnic under its span. More serious adrenaline-seekers can try the testing via ferrata climbing courses far above the river at Face Sud/Canyoning Ardèche (10 minutes’ drive). To come face-to-face with the ancient world below your feet, take an interactive tour of Grotte Chauvet 2 (15 minutes) to see replicas of prehistoric cave paintings and dioramas featuring hairy mammoths and Stone Age man. Discover dramatic crystal formations in the vast subterranean chambers at Aven d’Orgnac (half an hour), or watch the sound-and-light show in the caves at Grotte de la Madeleine (20 minutes) – and don’t miss the remarkable views over the Ardèche countryside from the observation deck. For more spectacular views over the twists and turns of the Ardèche River, head for the Belvédère d’Autridge (15 minutes) or Belvédère du Serre de Tourre (five minutes).
