CosyCamp is an environmentally-friendly campsite, located near the village of Chamalières-sur-Loire in Haute-Loire on the banks of the Loire Sauvage. Come and live a glamping experience in a 4.5 hectare botanical garden where cars are not allowed. Large pitches, upscale atypical accommodation, a wellness area, outdoor swimming pools, swimming in the Loire, canoeing, games and bicycles available, and campfires. In short: everything you need for an exquisite holiday.

Forested area on the Loire

CosyCamp is in a stunning forested area, right on the Loire. You'll find one nature reserve after the other in the area. The campsite is in between three French pearls: the regional nature reserve Livradois-Forez, regional nature reserve of Pilat, and the Monts d'Ardèche nature reserve. The campsite grounds are all about nature too. They have been designed with an emphasis on the relationship between people and nature. Totally environmentally-friendly. You'll find botanical gardens here, with the most extensive flora, and all the buildings are made from untreated wood.

Environmentally-friendly glamping

All of the rentals are also designed with conservation in mind. Don't be afraid that you'll have to spend the night in a small wooden hut, though. CosyCamp has the look of a luxury campsite. With very special rentals, including treehouses, lodges and gypsy wagons, you can definitely consider this 'glamping'. The pitches are spacious: the smallest is no less than 100 m².

Fresh, local food

At CosyCamp, simple, local and environmentally-friendly food is served. In the organic kitchen, they make their hamburgers from cows from the Haute-Loire, and every day, there's a special on the menu from the region. You can also have breakfast in the communal dining room, and order picnic baskets with fresh local produce.

Liked -
our stay was very pleasant and I must say, given the pandemic, it has all been very good. of course there are regulations, but these were doable and were enforced. we had a great time because of the beautiful weather and the pleasant surroundings.

Disliked - the bicycles for the children were not allowed to be used. I think that with a little cleaning the bikes could be used just fine.

Liked - Great site in a great area. Would justify multiple repeat visits to take it all in. We barely left the site, walked or kayaked to wherever we fancied going. Plenty to do and good attitide of staff. You're trusted with equipment and facilities and everyone we met repaid that trust by respecting and looking after them. Great for kids 5-15. Younger and they may not fully benefit from what's on offer; older they could get bored. So much to see and do in the surrounds and not too busy. Beautiful landscape though at altitude so can be a little chilly at night, however unseasonably so when visited.
Disliked - No convenience stores in walking distance and nothing provided on site. If you have a car or rent a bike not necessairly any issue. A pain if you have a camper like ours. Would benefit from a small shop selling essentials. The campervan pitches are near the carpark and while surrounded by medium height beech trees, not the prettiest part of the site. Also near cars and zip lines so though in a separate spot and no immediate passing traffic, not the most attractive or private. Good value though, considering what it grants you access to.
