Riverside campsite in the Ardèche
The river right by the campsite between sand and pebbles
In Salavas, Camping Le Clapas stretches along the riverside in the Ardèche, with direct access to its private beach, reserved for campsite guests. From the lanes, a few steps are all it takes to reach the water's edge. Between sand and pebbles, the beach is as good for swimming as for resting in the shade of the trees, with canoes drifting by on the current. Some pitches are right next to the beach.
The Pont d'Arc, at the entrance to the Ardèche Gorges, is just 8 km from the campsite.
