The 2 rivers
The campsite is flanked by two rivers: La Ligne and La Lande, which you can access directly from the campsite.
La Lande flows into La Ligne, which then follows its course to Chauzon, where it meets the Ardèche.
Both have low flow rates rivers and La Lande is fed by a source halfway between the village of Uzer and the campsite.
The Line crosses Largentière, and arrives here along a succession of flat stones.
These two rivers (which are shallow) are separated from the pitches by an area free of campers , dubbed « the promenade ».
Therefore, there’s no direct danger for children.
There are plenty of access points to the rivers, for paddling, rafting, setting up dams or cooling off.
At nightfall, you can watch the beavers making their dams just past the confluence of the two rivers.
The waterfall
If you follow La Ligne upriver, or go along the access path from the campsite, you’ll reach a beautiful waterfall fed by La Ligne, which forms an entirely natural, water basin!
Fishing
The two rivers are classed as category 1 (so-called “trout” rivers in France).
If you’re keen on fishing, or with a bit of luck, you might catch a brown trout in these calm waters!
River swimming
One of the greatest joys of a holiday in the Ardèche is the tranquillity of the rivers and the pleasure of bathing in their clear waters.
The Ardèche offers many possibilities in the nearby rivers (the Ardèche, the Beaume, the Chassezac) with breathtaking views on amazing sites: Balazuc, Beaume gorges, Ibie, Défilés de Ruoms (road hewn in the cliff-faces), Pont du Diable (Devil’s bridge), Cirque de Gens…
