The best campsites in Ardèche for families with children

These are the top-rated campsites in Ardèche for families with children, sorted by review score. Camping La Châtaigneraie is at the top (9.5/10).

The Ardèche is loved for its river and famous gorge, canoeing and swimming; many campsites lie right by the water.

When looking for a campsite for families with children in Ardèche, it pays to look beyond the score alone: consider the exact location, peak-season crowds and which amenities matter for your party.

Amenities: what to look out for

Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page in Ardèche, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.

Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).
