Located at 164 Av. des Nations in Villars-les-Dombes, CAMPING LE NID DU PARC offers a nature-filled escape in the heart of the Dombes region, often referred to as the land of a thousand ponds. This peaceful campsite is especially appealing to travellers seeking relaxation, birdlife, and authentic countryside charm in eastern France.
Set within a green environment, the campsite provides a welcoming atmosphere for couples, families, and groups of friends. Accommodation options focus on comfort while preserving the spirit of outdoor living. Guests can choose from fully equipped self-catering rentals accommodating up to five people. Options include Canvas and Wood Tents, Lodge Tents suitable for four seasons with private sanitary facilities, and more unusual stays such as a gipsy caravan or a Tipi. These rentals combine the experience of camping with added comfort, making them ideal for those who enjoy nature but prefer ready-to-use accommodation.
The campsite is designed for a peaceful stay rather than large-scale entertainment, making it a perfect base for discovering the surrounding countryside. Its natural setting encourages slow travel, outdoor meals, and evenings under the stars.
One of the property’s strongest advantages is its exceptional location: it sits within walking distance of the famous bird park of Villars-les-Dombes. Staying here means you can fully immerse yourself in nature while enjoying practical and comfortable accommodation in the heart of the Dombes.
