Canoeing on the river

  • Dog-friendly site with two beaches and a canoe base on the river Drôme
  • A five-minute drive from Saillans; half an hour from the Roanne Valley
  • Bar, restaurant, bakery, shop, playgrounds and kids’ club on site
There’s no need for any artificial pools at Camping Les Acacias, when there already are two natural sand-pebble beaches courtesy of the gorgeous, alpine-blue Drôme river. With a canoe base, this small forest site has a friendly spirit and a relaxing vibe (when you’re not paddling downstream, that is). The soundtrack? Expect birdsong, the running of the river, the clicking of cicadas and kids playing in the shallows or on the two playgrounds. After all those paddles in the Drôme, you’ll probably be pleased that the site has plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. There’s a bar, restaurant, bakery, a grocery shop and a sandwich shop. The site’s canoeing base will drop you upstream or you’re welcome to paddle downstream from the site and get picked up. If any kids need any extra entertainment, there’s a free kids’ club. Otherwise, just introduce them to the wider Auvergne-Rhone-Alps region, where there are activities like skiing, cycling, mountain biking, scootering, hiking, fishing, canoeing, archery, gliding and horse, donkey or carriage rides. The site’s based in the Drôme Valley in the mountainous pre-Alps, so hikes, swims, canoeing and other watersports are thoroughly scenic. It’s also two hours’ drive away from Lyon, an hour and 40 minutes from Grenoble and 50 minutes from Valence. Closer by, there’s paddleboarding and wakeboarding available in Vercheny (10 minutes’ drive) and more hiking and watersports in Saillans (five minutes), a pretty little village on the river Drôme. The medieval Crest (20 minutes), the Roman Die (15 minutes) and the Roanne Valley (from around half an hour’s drive) are also at your disposal.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch (riverside)

Liked: Positives were lovely views on a riverside pitch and being able to order fresh croissants for the morning. Pitches were also pretty big :)

Disliked: Whole site smelled abit like sewage :( which was quite offpufting. Showers and toilets were also tiny and abit dirty. Toilets also had no hand soap which is weird! Bins up by reception and no others we could see on site- far from our pitch! Also not enough toilet/ shower blocks for the size of the site. Not a fault of the site but river quite low at time of year to launch our Canadian canoe. Also waste disposal was pretty much a urinal with a cleaning hose attached to a mens urinal (not very hygienic!)

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Near river

Disliked: It states on website wifi on each pitch. But the wifi didn’t really work. Ordered a takeaway roast chicken was told it would be 2 hours. When I went to collect was told they didn’t have any. they did refund me but I thought it was very poor service. We only stayed 2 nights. So if you need wifi this is not the site for you

Local attractions

What’s on the agenda? Plenty of relaxation and adventure, it seems… the site is in a central spot for visiting the Diois, the Vercors Massif and the Drôme Provençale, where there are mountains, rivers and other very scenic spots. You might go hiking in the Les 3 Becs (an hour and five minutes) mountains, the Réserve naturelle nationale des Ramières du Val de Drôme (35 minutes) or to the waterfall Chute de la Druise (40 minutes). Cyclists very much like the mountain pass Col de Rousset (40 minutes), while climbers all gather at the huge rockslide of the Saut de la Drôme (40 minutes). Other top spots for outdoor expeditions of all sorts include Forêt de Saou (half an hour), Gorges d'Omblèze (40 minutes), Canyon des Gueulards (55 minutes) and Aire de Fomoranche (five minutes). Just ask the site to point you towards more gorges, mountains and other curious natural spots. Those with kids tagging along are also likely to like the Acro Pole Adventure (50 minutes), where there are activities like tree climbing, canyoning and climbing.
