  • On the banks of the Alagnon river in Lempdes-sur-Allagnon
  • Just outside the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park
  • Swimming pool, tennis court, play areas and snack bar on site
The name of this Auvergne site could hardly be more appropriate, for Camping Le Pont d’Allagnon is right on the banks of the Alagnon river, just by the bridge that leads to the shops and restaurants in Lempdes-sur-Allagnon a few minutes’ walk away. This is a handy location for getting out and about: it’s at the meeting point of three departments (Haute Loire, Puy de Dôme and Cantal), and a mere few kilometres from the edge of both the Auvergne Volcanoes and Livradois-Forez regional natural parks. Such surrounds put lakeside hikes, canoe trips and mountain bike outings within easy reach, along with scenic volcano ascents. Clearly there’s plenty to do in the area around the site, but it’s also worth noting that this place makes a handy stopover on journeys north or south as it’s handily placed close to two junctions of the A75. There’s town action not too far away too – Issoire and Brioude are both within 20 minutes’ drive for amenities such as supermarkets. Whether stopping over or sticking around, there are plenty of facilities around the two-hectare site to keep everyone active, including an open-air pool, tennis court, pétanque court and beach volleyball area. Kids can keep playtime going in all weathers either out at the playground or retreating indoors to the playroom. For eats and drinks, the snack bar terrace is the place to be, whether you’re in the mood for a roast chicken dinner, a snack of pancakes, a chilled cocktail or something from the selection of artisan ice creams. There’s also a shop with local produce, and a mobile farm shop pops round with fresh fruit and veg once a week in high season.

What customers say

This chill, friendly spot has heaps of space for your rig in a stunner of a natural setting, with a village just a short stroll off. Reviewers rave about the legends running the joint, all the animals, and spotless facilities. A top pizza van and bar on-site are a bonus. Some reckon the showers are a bit old and there are mozzies, but most reckon it's a ripper and are keen to come back.

Power optional grass tent site (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Set in lovely countryside but with easy access from the A75. Good size flat pitches with hedges between each one. A simple restaurant on site still open till mid September. While a very limited selection in the village, there is plenty of alternative restaurants within 10km.

Disliked Its a bring your own loo roll site!
The timer on the lights in the toilet block is a bit short if you are the first person in the showers of a morning you have the run the water quite a while for the hot to come through. As a result the lights go out before you have finished drying.

Ticki S.

Power optional grass tent site (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Ideal location for a stopover just a few minutes from the A75 near an attractive and authentic village. Lots of ‘added extras’ like a pool, sports courts, games room etc which I am sure the children all love. Good sized pitches, and nice to have the sound of the river in the background.

Disliked Facilities are dated. Loo paper is outside of the toilets and the (empty/broken) liquid soap is on the outside wall of the toilet block?!
There had been some rain the day we arrived, but my goodness the pitches were muddy. So much dirt now everywhere on our belongings and campervan! Probably not a good location in autumn or during a wet Summer.

Local attractions

Come to this part of the world for the outdoorsy activities? Warm your legs up with a stroll among the colourful fairy chimney rock formations of the Vallée des Saints (half an hour’s drive), then prep for an ascent of Puy de Dôme volcano (an hour). If you’re not up for shinning up a volcano, you can still take in the scenery by riding up in a rack railway – and learn a bit about what’s going on under the surface at Vulcania interactive museum. Anyone who’s ever fancied running off to live in a cave may like to step inside the troglodyte village at Jonas caves (40 minutes); for rather smarter living quarters, check out the elegant rooms of the ‘mini Versailles’ Château de Parentignat (15 minutes) or Château de Villeneuve-Lembron (20 minutes). If you’d rather take a stroll alongside some cute critters, aim for Auvergne Animal Park (20 minutes) or meet the exotic residents of Saint Nectaire Educational Park (45 minutes).
