  • Family campsite with a private beach in the Gorges de l’Ardèche
  • Pont d’Arc 20 minutes’ walk; Aven d’Orgnac half an hour’s drive
  • Bar-café and grocery store on site; free shuttle to Vallon-Pont-d’Arc
Sitting in the spectacular Gorges de l’Ardèche in the south of the Ardèche, Camping du Midi has a superb location with direct access to a private sandy beach and – yes, there’s more – the site is 20 minutes’ walk from the soaring Pont d’Arc rock arch spanning the river. With the mighty walls of the gorge as a backdrop, pitches are partially shaded by leafy trees. Handy on-site facilities include a modern shower block with hot water, a small playground, ping pong tables and a pétanque court. Eat out in the bar-café, or go self-catering and replenish your stocks at the grocery store. The free shuttle (every half an hour) is a handy way to get into Vallon-Pont-d’Arc for supermarket jaunts and a host of eateries from traditional bakeries to trendy pizzerias. However, the undoubted star of the show at Camping du Midi is the Ardèche Gorges National Nature Reserve itself; when the mood takes you, explore the gorge, go wild swimming and fishing, or paddle downstream in a canoe… You can organise excursions and gear hire at reception. But all that activity isn’t compulsory, so it’s lucky that the beach is also a very pretty spot for simply chilling with pals, or catching some sunshine as you splash around with the kids in the pristine waters.

What customers say

Great riverside spot on the Ardeche for swimming & canoeing. Staff are friendly, the setting's lovely. Shady pitches are a plus. Downsides: some facility cleanliness issues, missing basics like toilet paper, noise from groups/next door, and occasional poor service/untidy grounds.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Der Campingplatz ist überschaubar und ruhig. Die Sanitäranlagen sind einfach, bieten aber alles was man braucht und werden regelmäßig gereinigt.

Disliked Auf dem StellPlatz lagen Bretter mit herausragenden spitzen und verrosteten Schrauben, Reste eines defekten fest installierten Sitzplatzes.
Schade dass solcher Müll nicht abgebaut/ weggeräumt wird.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked Location beside the river, with a long beach-front.
Shady pitches.
Possibility to hire canoes on site.
Next-door restaurant.

Disliked Noisy activity by organised groups right next to the normal camping/campervan pitches. No rules/quiet time, or monitoring of noise by campsite. Activity areas should be separated from pitches.
No loo paper in individual loos (though there was sometimes some on the wall within the loo/shower block), and loos were not always kept clean.
The campsite dog was left to do its business without it being cleaned up.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked Shady pitches, direct access to river and canoe hire.

Disliked Group camping area is located in centre of site so unable to avoid noise from groups at all. Not too problematic during the day but there are no quiet hours and noise went on all night on some nights.
Mostly no hot water and and insanitary chemical toilet disposal.
Reception staff seemed dismissive towards us but not French visitors.

Liked Great location. Some pitches were right on the rivers edge. The river and option to hire boats was great. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Lovely little campsite. Basic facilities but all clean and tidy. The site was pretty quiet from about 9.30pm.

From the manager: Bonjour,
Je regrette que vous n'ayez trouvé pas très commodes car nous faisons toujours notre possible pour être le plus agréable et au soin de nos clients même si parfois eux même ne soit pas toujours bien lunés ! Et pour le bruit probablement que vous êtes tombé sur la mauvaise soirée , car au contraire cette année le camping a été relativement calme ! Bien cordialement, Yannick

Local attractions

Fast-moving and thrill-inducing activities available in the Gorges de l’Ardèche include whitewater rafting – the departure point for bold adventurers is five minutes’ walk away. If you just fancy a gentler way to get out on the river, paddle canoes downstream to the landmark Pont d’Arc for a picnic under its span. More serious adrenaline-seekers can try the testing via ferrata climbing courses far above the river at Face Sud/Canyoning Ardèche (10 minutes’ drive). To come face-to-face with the ancient world below your feet, take an interactive tour of Grotte Chauvet 2 (15 minutes) to see replicas of prehistoric cave paintings and dioramas featuring hairy mammoths and Stone Age man. Discover dramatic crystal formations in the vast subterranean chambers at Aven d’Orgnac (half an hour), or watch the sound-and-light show in the caves at Grotte de la Madeleine (20 minutes) – and don’t miss the remarkable views over the Ardèche countryside from the observation deck. For more spectacular views over the twists and turns of the Ardèche River, head for the Belvédère d’Autridge (15 minutes) or Belvédère du Serre de Tourre (five minutes).
