Isle de la Serre campsite

  • Campsite
  • 2 étoiles

The campsite, certified Accueil Vélo, is located right next to the ViaRhôna cycle route. It is ideal for cycle tourists, kayakers and nature lovers. It offers traditional pitches as well as unique accommodation such as Trapper and Domino tents.

Located in the heart of Île de la Serre, between nature and artificial white-water river, Camping de l'Espace Eau Vive is a 2-star campsite designed to accommodate athletes, kayakers and all those who are looking for a simple, authentic stay. Its green environment and friendly atmosphere make it an ideal stop along the ViaRhôna or a perfect starting point for a weekend of sports.

The campsite offers 37 pitches, suitable for tents, vans and small motorhomes. A few shaded pitches are available, but the majority are in sunny areas: it is therefore advisable to plan something to protect yourself from the sun.

For an unusual stay, 7 atypical accommodations are offered :

- 3 Domino tents: At the heart of the white water space site, the 3 domino tents have a capacity of 6 beds each.
A dining area with two refrigerators and 2 gas hobs as well as a common tent with tables and benches for meals is available.

- 4 Trapper Tents: The trapper area is composed of 4 wooden tents with 6 beds each, a 3m x 3m kitchen tent with two refrigerators, 2 gas hobs as well as a 32m2 common tent with tables and benches for meals.

For all tents: Provide pillows, fitted sheets, sleeping bags (only the mattress protector is provided), toilet paper and all kitchen essentials (pots, dishes, cutlery...). There is no heating or lighting in the tents (lighting in the kitchen and meal tents only).

The campers have a common toilet block, functional and maintained (toilet paper not provided). At the entrance of the campsite, a sheltered 200 m2 barnum equipped with tables and benches allows to meet, shelter or share meals.

The services include: free Wi-Fi, possibility of electric connection 5A for a fee, and a snack bar open in season offering ice creams, cold drinks and hot drinks. There is no catering on site.

The campsite particularly appeals to kayakers thanks to its immediate proximity to the artificial river of the Espace Eau Vive. The evening atmosphere is generally calm, with campers mainly coming to train, recharge or attend sports camps.
