  • Just off the GR300 route; half an hour's drive to Le Pal
  • Licensed bar and restaurant on site; canoe/kayak launch close by
Looking for a stopover on a long-distance hike, or simply a scenic spot where you can settle for a peaceful Auvergne break? Either way, you’ll be very welcome at Camping Deneuvre, just under a mile from the village of Châtel-de-Neuvre. This family-friendly site is in an attractive location on the banks of the Allier river, so you can go fishing here or just take in the relaxing views. If you’ve got your own canoe or kayak, you can launch it just by the site (and if you don’t have your own kit, you can hire it in Moulins, 20 minutes’ drive away). As for those long-distance hikers, the GR300 and the Via Allier pass close by, making this a handy place for a break en route. The surrounding Val d'Allier National Nature Reserve has plenty of trails for less demanding walks, and the wider area has lots of options for days out, from pretty villages to family fun at the popular Le Pal. There are options for activity back on site too – play a game of pétanque or table tennis or let the kids make the most of the playground, kids’ games and toys while you relax with a book from the library. The local village has a shop, a bar and a bakery, but you won’t have to go that far for sustenance – the site has its own licensed bar that’s open throughout the day, and a small restaurant available for a couple of hours in the evening (reservations required). You can also buy ice creams and local wine on site, and order your bread and pastries in high season.

What customers say

Riverside campsite with friendly hosts, good food & spacious pitches. Great natural setting. Downsides: dated loos (no seats/soap), occasional road noise. Hook-ups can be far. Manager's clarified policies.

Liked Very quiet with good facilities and lovely walks

Disliked There was an unexpected problem related to the time the barrier was meant to be closed. On the email it said 10:00pm on the gate it said 11:00pm, but it actually never closed. We rushed back from the nearby town to get in before 10:00.

From the manager: Bonjour,

Nous vous remercions pour votre retour.

Afin d'éviter toute confusion, nous vous confirmons qu'il est bien inscrit à l'entrée ainsi qu'à la réception (sur la porte d'entrée et au bureau d'accueil) que le portail ferme à 22 h et non à 23 h. Il arrive que nous ayons un peu retard dans la fermeture en raison du service au restaurant, mais sachez que pour la sécurité de l'ensemble de nos vacanciers, le portail est systématiquement fermé chaque nuit, sans exception.

Nous comprenons le désagrément causé par ce doute sur l'horaire et le stress d'un retour précipité.
Bien cordialement,

Clean sanitaries, nice hosts, excellent bread…

Liked Great value! Large pitch with good electric hook-up. Excellent place for my overnight stop. Very good restaurant, immaculate facilities, good hot free showers. Friendly owners who work very hard to get it right.

Disliked Limited shade and no pool; so can be hard to keep cool on a hot day.

From the manager: Merci infiniment pour ce superbe retour !
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l'emplacement, les sanitaires ainsi que notre restaurant. Nous mettons un point d'honneur à vous offrir le meilleur séjour possible, et savoir que les douches chaudes et nos efforts ont fait la différence nous touche beaucoup.
Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d'un prochain passage !

Liked Fijne rustige camping. Proper sanitair, grote plaatsen. Eerst een plaats aangewezen gekregen in de blakende zon bij 39 graden en op open plein. Wel even moeten onderhandelen om een lommerrijke plaats te krijgen niettegenstaande er niet zoveel volk was.
Uiteindelijk een mooie plaats gekregen waar volgens hen geen grote campers waren toegelaten. Wel vriendelijke ontvangst. Redelijk veel keuze op de menukaart en lekker gegeten.

Liked Ein toller Campingplatz. Günstig und direkt am Fluss. War laufen am Fluss entlang... Ein Naturparadies und man kann drin baden. Mega!

Disliked Straße war gar nicht mal so leise nachts und was gar nicht ging... Wieso hat kein WC einen Klodeckel? Ka**en in der SkifahrerPosition muss man wollen und können.

From the manager: Bonjour et merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis.

Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le cadre naturel du camping, sa proximité avec la rivière pour la baignade et les balades à pied, ainsi que nos tarifs accessibles.

Concernant vos points de déception, nous tenons à vous apporter quelques précisions :

Les sièges de toilettes : À la suite de trop nombreuses incivilités et afin de garantir des conditions d'hygiène et de nettoyage optimales pour l'ensemble de nos campeurs, nous avons pris la décision de ne plus installer d'abattants sur nos WC.

Le bruit de la route : La route départementale est située à plusieurs centaines de mètres du camping. Malheureusement, le trafic routier qui y circule échappe totalement à notre contrôle, même si nous faisons notre possible pour maintenir le calme au sein même de l'établissement.

Nous prenons note de vos remarques et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un autre séjour au bord de l'eau.

Local attractions

Even if you’re not tackling one of the long-distance trails, it’s worth getting out for a walk in this area – the Val d'Allier National Nature Reserve has lots of pretty scenery and wildlife to spot, or you can ramble through the vineyards around Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule (10 minutes’ drive). For other activities, join guided canoe trips from Moulins (20 minutes), take on the treetop trails at Parc Aventure Les Perchés (15 minutes) or try out the water activities at Natural Wake Park (15 minutes). There are plenty of cycle paths around too, or you can ride the Velorail Du Bourbonnais (25 minutes). Le Pal (half an hour) is perennially popular with younger kids for its rides and animals; for teens, the colourful murals of Street Art City (50 minutes) might be more their style. Meanwhile, if you like to wander around a traditional village, point your compass towards places like Souvigny (20 minutes) and Charroux (half an hour), both very attractive places for a stroll.
