  • In the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park, 2km from Vollore-Ville
  • Volcano views on site; an hour's drive from Puy-de-Dôme and Vulcania
  • Heated outdoor pool, playground and bar-restaurant
Fancy a foray to the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park? Make tracks for Camping Le Montbartoux for a stay right there in the park, surrounded by quiet woodland and trails through the trees, and with some stunning views towards the region’s chain of volcanoes. Venture along the road for a couple of kilometres from this Auvergne site and you’ll happen upon the village of Vollore-Ville – a petite (and pretty) place but big enough to be home to a café, bakery, grocery store and a couple of other handy bits and bobs. If you’re after more extensive amenities, plot a course to Courpière (15 minutes’ drive) or Thiers (25 minutes). Not in the mood to forage for food? Keep things simple by availing yourselves of the site’s food shop or the offerings at the bar-restaurant – a cunning plan that should leave you with even more time for swims in the heated open-air pool, play time at the playground, ping pong table and games room or jaunts into the local area on foot or by bike. And if you’re here during the height of summer, you may well find sociable theme evenings on the schedule too (a handy way to get food and entertainment sorted at the same time…)

What customers say

This campsite offers spectacular valley views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors praise the clean facilities, friendly owners, and pleasant swimming pool. Pitches can be uneven, and Wi-Fi has been reported as unreliable. Some guests noted that on-site catering services and provisions can be limited, particularly outside of peak season. Despite these minor points, many reviewers express a desire to return.

Electric grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Un camping à taille humaine, tenue par des personnes très sympathiques. Les communs et les emplacements sont très propres , rarement vu ça !. Les sanitaires et la piscine sont accessibles aux personnes à mobilité réduites.
La vie est très jolie.
Nous devrons revenir pour tester le restaurant (carte avec des prix raisonnables).

Disliked Certains emplacements pentus ( pas le nôtre), nos cales n'auraient pas été suffisantes.

#2 1 bedroom lodge (four person)

Liked L’accueil, personnels très accueillants, disponible, agréable.
Le calme, la vue et la piscine .

Disliked Au niveau du bungalow, le manque de serviettes (sdb)-torchon, pas de produits d’entretien (liquide vaisselle par exemple )

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci pour votre séjour, mais nous sommes étonnés concernant les serviettes, torchons qui sont bien préciser dans dans le descriptif du chalet disant que nous en fournissons pas.
Concernant les produits, je vous rappelle qu'il vous est fournis un kit de bienvenu comprenant du papier toilette, une éponge, du produit vaisselle et sol et un sac poubelle et si vous en avez pas assez lors de votre séjour il fallait venir en rechercher à la réception.
Concernant l'état des lieux, je vous laisse le soin de relire les CGV que vous avez acceptés.

Liked Location was great

Disliked Service provision was minimal. Cafe/ bar not open, limited provisions available in the onsite shop. No loo roll, no bins anywhere onsite, staff were friendly but offered nothing more than a check in service.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour et merci pour votre séjour, mais nous comprenons votre commentaire quand t'on voit ceux des autres clients.
Nous serons toujours heureux de vous recevoir si vous le désirez.

Peaceful site with fantastic views - the pool is a bonus!

Electric grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic site, fantastic views, fantastic location! A beautiful peaceful site which isn't too big. Views available from many pitches. Sunny and shady pitches available. The swimming pool was perfect. The toilet/shower block was spotlessly clean and fairly new. Probably a bit tricky for vans/motorhomes over 6.3m as the site is fairly steep in places and the turns tight.

Disliked The chemical waste emptying point and water filling point could be improved / separated, but this is a minor thing.

Local attractions

Want to get out and see some of those volcanoes up close? It’ll take you an hour or so to drive over to Puy-de-Dôme to wander about among the lava domes and cinder cones of the area’s youngest (but most famed) peak – or to take the easy route up on the railway if you’re not up for the climb. Any geology-based questions that crop up along the way should hopefully be answered in the exhibits at Vulcania theme park (an hour and 10 minutes' drive), and the mineral-packed waters that spring from the volcanic soil can be sampled (either as a drink or by sinking into warm thermal baths) in Vichy (an hour and five minutes). A little closer to home, it’s worth stopping in the pretty medieval town of Thiers (25 minutes) and taking a look at your local castle, the 12th-century Château de Vollore (five minutes/45 minutes on foot). For more rural times, aim for Lac d’Aubusson (10 minutes), where you can swim, fish or hire canoes and pedaloes.
