Hi all

We have recently purchased a tent and are now looking to booking our summer holiday. After much deliberation we have decided to head south to the ardeche region and L'Ardechois has caught our eye, mainly due to the fantastic reviews on here. Unfortunately there are only standerd pitches left to book and we have quite a large tent plus utility tent, so i was just wondering if anyone knows if it will be big enough for our set up?

Many thanks

Can't help with the pitch sizes, but I am sure someone will be along soon with some info.

If you have not been before, then you will not be dissapointed the Ardeche is a superb region, and we are going back for the third time this July.

Here is a live camera link to the region, if you have not already found it, great way of checking the weather down there.

Thank you for the link.

We have been the dordogne and vendee for the last couple of years staying in Static caravans on different sites, but the weather last year was a bit hit and miss, so would like a bit more of a guarantee of sunshine and thought the ardeche looked beautiful.

We have already made that mistake when looking at reviews and getting very confused!!!

Hi betts 1.

               We also used to do static caravans, mostly the Cote d Azur and also the West end of the French Med.

But that was when our Son used to come with us, who is now 27, so it's just the two of us these days.

The statics were starting to get very pricey, and once they got past £500 per week that was it for us, so back in 2009 it was back to doing our own thing with a tent, like what we used to do when we were teenagers back in the late 1970's.

We just love it, and it's nice to be able to arrive at the campsite on say Tuesday, and then depart a fortnight later say on a Thursday, so your not tied to Saturday to Saturday, like you often can be when booking statics.

Thought you would like the link, but it can be adictive.

Thank you for your replies.

Oliverday thankyou for the site map. It does look like the biggest standard pitches are next to the toilet blocks, but we will just have to wait and see, just waiting for my hubby to get back with a takeaway and then we will let the booking commence!!!

Are there very shallow parts of the river you can access from the site? Is it suitable for younger children to just play around in the shallows without having to go very deep or swim?
