  • Family-friendly Auvergne site just outside Saint-Germain-l’Herm
  • In the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park; an hour from Puy-de-Dôme
  • Swimming pool, trampoline, zipline, hot tub and restaurant
Anyone pining for a foray into the forest will be pleased with the pine-filled surrounds of Camping Le Saint-Eloy. This little gem of an Auvergne site, a few minutes’ amble from Saint-Germain-l’Herm, looks out onto the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park, with plenty of local options for woodland walks and other countryside antics. Beyond that there’s plenty more to keep the family busy: an animal park, château, adventure park, botanic gardens, volcano ventures and scenic train rides are all within a 45-minute drive. Nevertheless, it’s possible that there may be days when you don’t even make it beyond the site’s gates, given the range of tempting activities set up right there. Settle on a sun lounger for a leisurely day by the pool; it’s likely the kids will manage to find something to amuse them between the paddling pool, the playground, the trampoline and the summer activities. Pangs of jealousy? Fret not – adults aren’t left out of the active times. Games of pétanque, table tennis and volleyball await by day, as does the rather addictive ride on the 50-metre zipline. Bubbling away in the hot tub is another (recommended) option ahead of summer nights filled with theme meals, karaoke and suchlike. No need even to head out in search of food, for there’s a restaurant and bar on site (although it’s worth noting that if you do want to venture forth, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from a supermarket, bakery and couple of restaurants).

What customers say

Lovely setting, tranquil vibe, friendly owners. Clean facilities, pool, play areas a hit. Great on-site food. Squat loos and cold nights due to altitude are noted. Pitches can be a bit sloped.

Christophe T.

Power optional grass site

Liked Great campsite. The sites are very large and shaded by beautiful trees. Christelle and Jérôme are lovely hosts, friendly and warm. There is a restaurant on site, but beware that you need to preorder, so if you’re planning to arrive later in the afternoon and wish to eat there, it’s best to give Christelle a call. The burgers ans really good and so is the barbecue-roasted chicken (only available a couple of days a week I think). Kids loved the pool and spent hours on the trampoline. There is also a bakery in the village to which we could send the kids to grab goodies for breakfast in the morning. There are also many hiking trails starting in the village. We did one that went through the hamlet of Rompadour… gorgeous!

Liked The toilets were clean and there was hot water in the showers.

Disliked Very disappointing stay
We arrived at the campsite to an unwelcoming and hostile reception from the hosts. There was no proper check-in process, and it was immediately clear that our presence was an inconvenience to them. They rolled their eyes and spoke about us while we were standing right there.

Although the campsite advertised key services, we were unable to access them. The restaurant wasn’t serving food, and the laundry room was locked. We were told we’d need to get a key, but the washing machine was unavailable because the hosts were using it to wash their own sheets. When we later asked again for the laundry key, we were met with more eye-rolling and were reluctantly escorted to the room, only for it to be locked again afterwards.

When we finally finished our washing and asked to use the dryer, we were told it was too late. This was particularly frustrating as our load had been delayed earlier in the day while waiting for the hosts to finish their own laundry.

Power optional grass site

Liked Charmant camping familial sur le forez, les emplacements sont grands avec l'eau et l'électricité, sur le haut du camping c'est très bien ombragé, un peu moins sur la partie du milieu mais ça permet de S'adapter en fonction de la température.
Les nuits sont fraiches ce qui est agréable.
Les sanitaires sont propres, l'espace piscine est très propre et bien agréable.
Étant de Clermont Ferrand, ce sera une destination sûrement récurente dès qu'il y aura canicule.

Power optional grass site

Liked Beautiful camp site, a pretty village within walking distance. Wonderful welcome from the lady who runs it. Facilities are clean and camp site is quiet. If you have families it has everything too. There is only one 'proper' toilet the others are squatting ones ( that's the only downfall to us). We are sorry to leave this Beautiful place. Ellen n David

Disliked Toilet are squatting toilets all but one, which everyone wants to use. Very very cold at night time because of altitude

Local attractions

Got a taste for that zipline? Take it to the next level at the Forêt Aventure Cunlhat adventure park (20 minutes’ drive), where you can leap from tree to tree on a series of ziplines, rope walkways and nets. Back down at ground level, it’s worth hiring mountain bikes on site to take out for local rides; it’s a little hilly around here so they’ve invested in some e-bikes to give you that little extra push up the slopes. Hilly is in fact a bit of an understatement, as you’ll note when you see the sizeable Puy-de-Dôme volcano, an hour away. Learn about its origins at the excellent Vulcania park or just sit back and let the train propel you up towards the summit. More leisurely train action can be had with a scenic ride on the Agrivap tourist train from Ambert (half an hour). Other options for days out might include the Parc Animalier d’Auvergne (45 minutes away), Château de Mons (half an hour) and Un Jardin pour la Terre (half an hour), a botanic garden that’s gathered plants from all corners of the world into its themed areas.
