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 - Le lieu très propre
les espaces pour les enfants
la piscine
les canoés à disposition
le cours de yoga
Je reviendrai sans hésiter dans ce joli lieu mais demanderai un emplacement plus éloigné du lieu de vie (barbecue, brasero)

Liked - Nous avons passé une magnifique semaine en famille. Nous avons apprécié le calme du comping, les vélos mis à disposition gratuitement (même si ils ne sont pas tous fonctionnels) ainsi que les kanoés, la tranquillité de l'endroit, la gentillesse du personnel, le coin barbecue très convivial. Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute.
Disliked - Je n'ai pas apprécié qu'il n'y ait pas de planches aux toilettes, ni de voir autant de lapins enfermés dans une petite cage, je pense qu'il y a suffisemment de place pour leurs dédier un espace correct.
Il faut aussi savoir que les nuits peuvent être très froides, prévoir des couvertures en suffisance.

Liked - We loved: grab and share principle, car free, the river and the cliffs, 10 km canoe trip, hike up to the castle ruin, the pool (when it was not too busy). Staff was super friendly and hard working. Happy there were vegetarian options at the restaurant. Would be great if vegan options can be added in the future.
Disliked - It felt like the campsite was too full and over its capacity and therefore noisy instead of peaceful. I think with less tents will add more quality. Also I think there could be more toilets. Furthermore I thought that the cage for the rabbits was below standards. If cosycamp wants to be ecological responsible, please include animal welfare and put the rabbits with the other animals or build a larger enclosure. I heard many people saying the same.

Liked - Le cadre : un écrin de verdure bordé par la Loire. Un camping à taille humaine, des sourires de la part du personnel. La mise à disposition d’équipements (canoë , vélo…). Les enfants gardent un super souvenir de leurs soirées chamalows grillés et la liberté de mouvements qu’offre la zone de vie.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Camping très sympa dans l'ensemble et sanitaires bien entretenus.
Emplacement en bord de Loire agréable. En revanche, emplacement bruyant le soir venu car à côté de l'espace guinguette. Le "rien n'est interdit, nous faisons confiance" trouve là ses limites quand des jeunes écoutent de la musique et discutent un peu fort jusqu'à 1h voire 3h du matin. Il est dommage d'avoir à faire soi-même la police pour trouver un peu de calme la nuit d'autant que Cosycamp met en avant l'absence d'animations et de karaoké le soir. On s'attend à davantage de calme.

Disliked - Le bruit la nuit quand on est sur les emplacements à côté de l'espace guinguette.

Liked - The campsite is the best we have ever stayed at. There is so much space and has a festival feel with children having loads of freedom. We love the area and there is so much to do for all the family.
Disliked - We had pizza one evening and we didn’t think they were very good, especially for the price. They were made with pre-bought pizza bases and you could tell they were not very good quality. This is the only complaint.

Liked - •Sfeer is top! Mooie plek, fijne mensen en lekker eten.
•Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Disliked - •Weinig toiletten in het badgebouw. Ondanks dat het 4x per dag werd schoongemaakt was het niet heel schoon.
•Het speelgoed en de leen fietsen waren oud en veelal kapot
