Camping La Garenne is located amidst the beautiful nature of the département of Ardèche, in the valley of the Eyrieux River. Managed by Dutch people, this medium-sized family campsite is perfect for young and old alike. There are lovely villages and towns dotted around the area that are great for cultural visits, recreational activities in the high season and of course the stunning nature. The campsite is short walk from the forest. And there are various rivers in the nearby for canoeing adventures.

Pitches

The camping grounds are made up of an upper terrace and a lower terrace, which differ around 25 metres in height. Most of the pitches are located on level ground and a number on terraces. The ground at La Garenne is hard and rocky, so the use of pens is required. These are available at reception. The upper terrace has quiet pitches close to a path that leads into the forest or village. Trees, bushes or low walls built from river clay, in typical Ardèche style, create a sense of privacy between the pitches. There are a few XL pitches, most of which are located on the upper terrace. The pitches are interspersed with rental accommodation: mobile homes and safari tents.

For young and old

There is a recreation programme in the high season. The little ones can enjoy themselves at the 'mini club'. The campsite also has a playground and a paddling pool. Older children and adults can take a refreshing dip in the L-shaped pool.

Lean S, on this campsite in July 2024
2.0

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Prima zwembad, qua drukte goed te doen, voldoende bedden
Autoluw, kleine kinderen konden voor de safaritenten veilig spelen
Disliked - Toegegeven, we waren erg verwend en kwamen net van een hele gemoedelijk camping, dus contrast was duidelijk. Maar hier viel op dat de eigenaars nauwelijks zichtbaar zijn. Op dinsdag is er zowel geen animatie als geen snacks te krijgen, terwijl voor velen woensdag ook een vertrekdag is. In restaurant gegeten eerste dag, bediening duurde heel erg lang en je zit in de brandende zon bij het terras, daar zijn de schaduwplekken schaars. Even als bij het zwembad zijn de schaduwplekken schaars.

Een voetbalveld/ pannakooi zou wat toevoegen

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - De plaatsen waren mooi gesitueerd
Disliked - Sanitair was vies, werd maar 1 keer per dag schoongemaakt. Animatie niet voldoende en niet gericht op kinderen ouder dan 10/11 jaar. Zwembad werd ook steeds viezer. Zijn uiteindelijk eerder weggegaan en hebben een andere camping geboekt.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - De camping ligt mooi, leuke hoogteverschillen en direct bij bossen. Veel Nederlanders, maar wel een gezellige en gemoedelijke sfeer. Direct vanuit de camping kun je leuke wandelingen maken, je kunt goed wandelen naar het dorp en daar naar de bakker.
Disliked - Sanitair was echt slecht, geen wc-brillen (voor Nederlandse eigenaren wel bijzonder), alleen in de ochtend 2 x schoonmaak en verder niet. De douches waren eind van de middag echt heel vies, er was 1 trekker voor 7 douchecellen, bij de babyruimte was er helemaal geen trekker. Om over de toiletten maar niet te spreken, het was hoogseizoen, alle plekken bezet. De schoonmaak moet echt veel frequenter. Eigenaren hebben wij nauwelijks gezien, kwamen voorbij op een golfkar en zwaaide maar waren niet het gezicht van de camping. Arie daarin tegen was 100% het gezicht van de camping, altijd zichtbaar

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - Fijne verblijf plek om te onthaasten en van rust te genieten
Disliked - Horeca is een grote tegenvaller. Prachtig terras aanwezig maar geen mogelijkheid om ook maar iets te eten behalve vast menu in de avond. Je mag geen eten en drinken meenemen naar het zwembad, maar er is ook niets te bestellen als je een drankje gaat doen op het naastgelegen terras.
Afgelopen 2 jaar ook hier geweest, toen was het horeca team gezellig en creatief. Dat was dit jaar helaas anders.
Tip, zorg voor een simpel (broodjes)menu en wat borrelhapjes op het terras.
