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 for all ages 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, lodge tents and safari tents.

For young and old

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

Helaas ging de camping half september al op de schop (uitbreiding van plaatsen, egaliseren en heel veel snoeiwerk wat gepaard ging met een hoop herrie), terwijl de camping tot 30 september open zou zijn!!!
We zijn daarom ook eerder vertrokken dan de bedoeling was. Erg jammer!

Goed verzorgde familiecamping met NL leiding.
Restaurant alleen dagmenu.
Goede informatiemap bij aankomst en goed beschreven auto routes in een ringband die je tegen borgbedrag mee mag nemen. Prima service! Ook fiets en wandelroutes aanwezig.
Heel klein minpuntje: bij sanitairgebouw (bij de receptie) is aan de achterkant een urinoir en leegplaats chemisch toilet met een paadje waar GEEN HEKJE is voor de `afgrond` erachter.
De campingkosten en restaurant kunnen (buiten juli en aug) alleen contant betaald worden.

zeer dure camping en voor wat? zwembad en restaurant ligt 70 a80 m lager. faciliteiten hebben geen meerwaarde tegenover een goedkopere camping. voor mij veel te duur om nog eens terug te komen.

Dit noordelijke gedeelte van de Ardèche was minder interessant dan gehoopt. Wel een mooie wandeling gemaakt naar een klooster. Maar let op begin vroeg in de morgen, neem stokken mee, goede wandelschoenen en water. De campingplaatsen waren prima. Het sanitair wel schoon, maar er was een kapotte toilet waardoor je maar gebruik kon maken van twee toiletten. Goed zwembad. Tegenvaller was het restaurant. Het was saté en sparerib avond. Dan verwacht je een kok aan een BBQ. Helaas het was saté uit een pakje, zeer matige pindasaus en een plukje sla. Jammer.

Dit Covid jaar 2 x op deze camping geweest. 2 weken in juni en 3 weken in september.
Mooie plaatsen, fijn groot zwembad met veel ruimte daar omheen en voldoende ligstoelen.
De ontvangst was uiterst vriendelijk en zowel personeel als eigenaar hebben ons tijdens ons verblijft bijzonder vriendelijk geholpen.

Mooie camping met een boven en benedengedeelte. Wij stonden bovenaan. De plekken zijn ruim, sommigen zelfs erg groot. We hebben er 10 dagen gestaan en de omgeving bezocht. Het plaatsje zelf is niets bijzonders, maar omgeving is mooi. Mooi om te wandelen en de Ardeche te ontdekken. Erachter ligt het bos, fijn om onze honden uit te kunnen laten. Sanitair was schoon, maar aan het einde van de dag begon het er wel te ruiken... misschien wel een extra beurt aan het einde van de dag nodig. Maar dan is al het personeel druk in het restaurant. Was een matige kaart, keuze uit 2 gerechten ivm personeelsgebrek in de periode dat we er waren... Maar verder een fijne rustige camping.

Na 23 jaar weer \'n keer terug. Toen nog met Tim. Zoon Niels heeft de zaak goed voortgezet. Mooie, ruime plaatsen, beneden. Veel nederlanders in deze periode, ons-kent-ons. Uiterst vriendelijke ontvangst. Tim en Judith, complimenten over alles.
