I've seen Le Pommierhttp://www.campinglepommier.com/en/aquapark/ which looks to have a fab waterpark. We passed it on our way to Ranc Davaine last year and the park looked great, not looked at reviews for it but it could be an option

There are reviews on Zoover, which give it an average score of 6.8 (which isn't good in my books).  Most of the reviews are in Dutch and French - you have to look at all reviews not just the 4 UK ones.  It's also away from the Ardeche river, up on top of the plateau, and for us the river was one of the highlights of a holiday in that area.  I said in response to another post, that sites in the Ardeche aren't heavy on waterslides because most people use the river for their water-based activities, and for us it was much more fun body-boarding on those cheap polystyrene boards, from the site down to the Pont D'Arc and towing a picnic with us!

We have just returned from L'ardechios. It was fab, site is better than soliel plage but just missing a slide but my 7 year old daughter didn't miss it. Weather was fab. One day of rain out of 10 nights. You can walk to vallon pont darc from the site.

Cheryl, val advised me correct to co via the d4. We have a twin axle and it was fine however someone moved the barrier that is normally there and we missed the sign on entering vallon and went through the town! Some French woman came out and shouted at us as we did block the town for about 5 mins.🙈 we did the journey back through as a trial and saw where we went went wrong and our journey home was uneventful. It is a beautiful place and we are very likely to be going back again irrespective of the lack of slides.👍
Oh eck that's one of my biggest fears!! Im really not good towing I hate it, iv never liked it but im getting worse in my old age and that's what really scares me about going to different areas, I was fine in the Dordogne and love Soleil Plage and those roads didn't bother me as much as I thought. Time is a big factor for us too we only have 2 weeks and I don't want to spend it sitting in a car for days. We are going to Lanzarote for Easter next year for an easy 2 weeks all inclusive and I even hate flying!! Not much hope for me eh?? Its a definite No No is theres not slide, it has to have at least 2 on or they wont entertain it. I still love SP its one of my fave sites along with Les Brunnelles, id go back there in a shot and love the Vendee too.

The roads aren't at all scary. If anyone's going to L'Ardechois, or anywhere in the southern part of the Ardeche, then apart from driving along the Gorge de l'Ardeche itself, which you wouldn't do with a caravan, you should be fine.

If anyone is really worried then email me at valdaathome at gmail.com and I'll put you on the right road. We've been down that way many many times over the years, using a variety of routes, and never had a problem, towing and otherwise.

Ranc Davaine which is in the Ardeche at St-Alban-Auriolles has some slides, a water flume, and indoor and outdoor pools. It's also next to the Chassezac river, which is good for 'messing about in' but not quite as good as the river at L'Ardechois. Pitches are 'informal' and set in woodland, so may not be good for a twin axle.
