Try Les Peupliers at Riviere sur Tarn actually on the river Tarn - good standard mobile homes, nice family site. We've stayed there a lot over the years. River access at the bottom end of the site, variety of pitches - some very shady, some half-shade and some full sun. We also like St Lambert mentioned above - at both of those sites you may be lucky enough to see beaver in the river at dusk!
I really don't know about air-conditioning though - as we've never hired mobile homes, or felt we needed it even in high temperatures.............! I suppose the only way to find something is to email lots of sites in the Gorges du Tarn area. EDIT: Apparently some of the mobile homes at Les Peupliers do have air-conditioning (called 'climatisation' in France).
Val de Cantobre (mentioned above) was our favourite site for more than twenty years! It's not in the Gorge du Tarn itself, but alongside the Dourbie river. There is a wonderful drive over the Causse to Le Rozier, via LaRoque Ste Marguerite, up a very steep hillside.......... not for those without a head for heights!
We went to Val de Cantobre first in 1981 with a toddler, and immediately loved it. We've been back many many times since, with the children as they grew up and then as a couple or with friends. The last time was when Clare and Francois Dupond who owned the site sold it to RCN. We declared it the end of an era and haven't been back. That is the only reason I didn't recommend it - not that there is anything at all wrong with the site.
It is in a lovely setting - a bowl in the valley, where the light changes rapidly as the sun moves around and the shadows on the hills opposite are just magical. You can walk from the site into the lovely village of Nant where there is a small market, cafes and restaurants under the stone arches, a stream with a historic bridge......... just typing about it makes me want to go back!!!
Have a wonderful time anyone who goes to that area - maybe you will meet up with us revisiting old haunts.
