Where can a family combine a heated pool, a private river beach and a cycle path along an old railway line? At Flower Camping Mas de Champel, a 4-star campsite of 4 hectares on the banks of the Eyrieux in Les Ollières-sur-Eyrieux, Ardèche. Its 103 places include mobile homes, lodges and pitches for tents, caravans and campers, all set in green, natural surroundings.
Will the children be happy in the water? Absolutely. The heated outdoor pool measures 18 m × 8 m (144 m²) and is 0.9 m to 1.9 m deep, with numerous sunbeds around it from May to mid-September. Little swimmers get their own heated paddling pool with a water slide and water jets. Fancy something wilder?

And when the swimming costumes are drying? The mini club welcomes children aged 6 to 12 in summer with treasure hunts, games and creative workshops, while the animators run karaoke, bingo and sports tournaments. Thursday concerts in July and August keep the evenings lively. Parents can slip away to the jacuzzi and sauna, or settle at the bar-restaurant for homemade pizzas, burgers and salads with Ardèche flavours.

Tip from our team
We recommend starting the day with a swim in the heated pool and walking down to the private riverside beach in the afternoon. We recommend hiring bikes for La Dolce Via, an old railway line along the Eyrieux with very little incline, ideal for young cyclists. We recommend trying canoeing on the river; canoe hire is available, and Eyrieuxsport also offers kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. We recommend booking breakfast, served from 08:45 to 10:45, for a slow start, and picking up fresh croissants and bread at the bar. We recommend planning a Thursday in July or August at the campsite, because that is concert night. We recommend signing children aged 6 to 12 up for the mini club, with treasure hunts and workshops. We recommend a day at the Aquarock and Indian Forest adventure parks, or a visit to Upie Zoo, 27 km away. We recommend ending the day with the jacuzzi and sauna while the children play. We recommend flying into Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (LYS), 150 km from the campsite, if you prefer to arrive by air.

No shade!!!!“Tent site to avoid! Very little shade, no privacy, and very narrow sites. + No commercial gesture from management.”

The welcome is not up to par.“The welcome is not up to the standard of the establishment. My experience: No guest at the front desk, I enter and say "Hello," no reaction from the person behind their screen. My second "Hello" is downright thunderous. No smile, not a look. Without looking up from her screen, the receptionist says: "I'm listening." Does she only hear complaints all day long? That would explain her disillusioned look! I explain the purpose of my visit. Still without having met our eyes, I hear: "okay." In my day, the Flower slogan was: camping is human. Not here. There is no empathy. Too bad. It was a nice and good establishment…before.
