Been to La Beaume today and still plenty of (warm) water in the river. Fantastic swimming, and perhaps the best suggestion given that there is a bar/restaurant nearby, an ice cream seller, and beautiful scenery.

We had no problems parking in one of the small car parks down at the bottom of the village this lunchtime at 12.30pm.

Second La Beaume, although when we went last year we couldn't get into the village in our car, there was a free courtesy bus from a car park just outside the village instead. Balazuc is also nice, as is Vogue. Not sure exactly where you are staying, but if you're close to Vallon you can park at one of the car parks on the main gorge road and walk down to the beach at the Pont d'Arc. Gets quite busy but there is access to the beaches on both sides of the river and a van selling refreshments as well.

I couldn't understand why you were all recommending 'La Beaume' since our sat nav and map checks show it to be 165km (and a three hour drive) from Vallon, where we are currently staying in the Ardeche.

I've just realised, you must mean Labeaume, which is a more doable 14.6 km away!

Will definitely visit.
