  • Peaceful dog-friendly site with four wooded hectares
  • A 15-minute drive to river activities; 50 minutes to Puy de Dôme
  • Tennis court on site; accessible bathroom facilities
Four wooded hectares and rivers, volcanoes and forests within driving distance? Sounds peaceful, indeed – and definitely enticing for outdoorsy types of people too. Tenderly cared for, the pretty flowers and green setting of Camping Le Mont Libre are among the things previous guests (and a national award) mention. A swimming pool (open during high season) and a tennis court are among the other popular parts of the site – and facilities have been thought out well too, with the bathrooms accessible for people with reduced mobility. Halfway between the Bourbon countryside and the Auvergne (where there are volcanoes like Puy de Dôme and the splendid landscapes of the Val de Sioule), it's highly likely you'll soon be sharing top tips about all the different sceneries nearby with fellow guests. To see it for yourself, drive over to the Gorges de la Sioule in just half an hour, where there’s a via ferrata route along the 150-metre-high rocks alongside the gorges. A canoeing and rafting centre for the river is also 15 minutes’ drive away. If you’re keen to get active in other ways, head to the 18-hole golf course of Golf Vichy Forest of Montpensier 15 minutes’ drive away. It’s also possible to go horse-riding in Begues (on Arabian thoroughbreds, no less). With markets and flea markets within driving distance of the site too, a lazy day is also well spent browsing local stalls.

Liked: It was fine, good sized, flat pitch with beautiful views. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Not far off motorway, access was okay for 7.5 metre van.

Disliked: No toilet seats, it's a little dated, needs upgrade but everything works, it's clean and tidy.
