  • Swimming pool and playground; terrace snack bar and bread store
Roll up, roll up for a carefree dose of summer fun at Camping Les Chênes, a laid-back campsite on the outskirts of rural Junas in the Gard. Set among the Mediterranean scrub typical of the region, spacious pitches are divided – and shaded – by mature trees and all have electric hook-ups. The site is family-run by hosts Aurélie and Julien for families, with lots of thought taken when it comes to keeping everyone occupied. Younger kids will happily amuse themselves for hours at the playground with slides, a trampoline and a bouncy castle, while you can all settle en famille on the sun-soaked deck of the swimming pool and take refreshing dips from time to time. Extra entertainment is laid on during high season, including pétanque games on Tuesday, musical evenings on Thursday and floodlit swimming after dark on Sunday. Foodie concerns are all taken care of too, with fresh bread available every morning at the campsite shop, and a steady supply of ice cream and snacks doled out from the informal terrace bar. You don’t have to go very far to stock up on groceries and bits for your barbecue either: within five minutes’ drive you’re in pretty, riverside Sommières, where there are several supermarkets.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: Lovely family owned and run site. Suitable for all. Even with loads of kids playing on the really well equipped play area near reception, the site has quiet pitches. Beautiful rural setting and an ideal base to explore the must do areas such as The Camargue, Avignon, Nimes and Montpelier. We have a caravan so had the car to explore but talking to many of the multi national motorhome owners they found exploring by bike really good. Fresh bread daily (pre-ordered) saves daily trips out but the little village of Junas is walkable if you want. Great walking for our dog. Lots of hot water and good showers. Would thoroughly recommend. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendly, helpful owners.

Disliked: Couldent find any negative things

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre avis! Ce fut un grand plaisir de vous avoir sur le camping. Votre bonne humeur nous manque déjà. A très vite! Aurélie et Julien

Local attractions

If you are intent on exploring the Gard region, Sommières (five minutes’ drive) is a very good place to start. With an ancient bridge straddling the River Vidourle, this medieval town is a labyrinth of cobbled streets leading to Place du Marché, lined with artisan shops and pavement cafés. You can tour the walls of Château de Sommières and the landmark Bermond Tower, or pick up foodie souvenirs like wild boar sausages and Pélardon cheeses from the Saturday market. With ancient Roman foundations, historic Nîmes (35 minutes) beckons with its two-tiered amphitheatre, elegantly symmetrical Maison Carrée temple dating from the first century AD, and exquisite gardens laid out in the Jardins de la Fontaine. For some big-city action, make for Montpellier (45 minutes) to spend time in the Gothic extravaganza that is Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, admiring art masterpieces in the Musée Fabre and people-watching in lively Place de la Comédie. But it’s not all history around here. Days at the seaside are on the cards too; cute Le Grau-du-Roi (35 minutes) has several beaches, while the sands at the modern resort of La Grande-Motte (half an hour) are lifeguarded and backed by cafés.
