  • Family-friendly Rhône-Alpes site on the banks of the River Loire
  • Château de la Roche 15 minutes’ drive; Volerie du Forez 35 minutes
  • Swimming pool with waterslides, beach volleyball and kayak hire
A 10-minute drive from Saint-Paul-de-Vézelin and with a splendid setting on the banks of the River Loire as it meanders through the Rhône-Alpes, Camping d’Arpheuilles is neatly tucked into lush greenery and surrounded by dramatic forested landscapes. Its proximity to the river means that guests can go swimming, canoeing, dinghy sailing, sport fishing for carp, zander and pike, or simply chill on the private river beach. If swimming in the river is not for you, there is a pool on site, equipped with a waterslide, sun loungers and a paddling pool for toddlers. All sorts of other pastimes are on offer too, from play areas with trampolines to ping-pong tables, a multi-sports court, beach volleyball, pétanque and mini golf. After all that running around, you’ll be happy to enjoy a restorative glass of wine in the wisteria-covered bar (open every day during peak season), and indulge in the tasty homemade cuisine served in the snack bar. For evenings when you’d rather eat en famille back at your accommodation, takeaways are available too. In July and August, the activity on this otherwise quiet site ramps up, with organised kids’ entertainment, night-time bingo and karaoke sessions, mini-discos, live music and campfires on the beach.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Large pitches great views of the Loire. Friendly staff.

Disliked Not easy to get to, towing a caravan. Steep narrow lanes for about 3 miles.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci pour votre retour et pour avoir souligné la taille des emplacements, la magnifique vue sur la Loire ainsi que la qualité de l’accueil 😊

Il est vrai que les derniers kilomètres pour accéder au camping passent par quelques routes étroites et vallonnées, ce qui peut surprendre lors de la première venue. Cependant, cette route est empruntée régulièrement par tous types de caravanes et camping-cars, et beaucoup de nos visiteurs nous disent que le trajet vaut largement la peine pour découvrir ce petit coin de paradis en pleine nature 🌿

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau au bord de la Loire !

Local attractions

Camping d’Arpheuilles is handily located for exploring the cultural side of the Loire too; tour the handsome interiors of riverside Château de la Roche (15 minutes’ drive) or try to work out the escape games if you are travelling with kids. Alternatively, climb up to the hilltop ruins of medieval Château des Cornes d’Urfé (40 minutes) for far-reaching views over volcanic Auvergne peaks. If you’d prefer a bit of viticultural tourism, the vineyards of the Côtes Roannaises and Côtes du Forez appellations are found in the Upper Loire Valley; you can sample the wines at vineyards around La Pacaudière (40 minutes) and Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire (25 minutes). Food lovers can try produce available at local markets and farms, offering a taste of the region’s cuisine. After all that eating and drinking, you can go hiking, cycling or mountain biking on more than 6,000 kilometres of marked trails directly from the site, take up watersports on Lake Villerest (half an hour), or lose calories quickly pedalling along the Vélo Rail at Belvédère Aventures (25 minutes). And finally, all the family will appreciate a day out at Volerie du Forez (35 minutes), where there are raptor flying and equestrian displays.
