CAMPING RELAIS DES BRISON

Set in the heart of Southern Ardèche, Camping Relais des Brison is a peaceful riverside retreat where nature sets the rhythm of your stay. Located in the hamlet of Le Gua, near Beaumont, this charming two-star campsite lies directly on the banks of the beautiful La Beaume. Surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Cévennes Ardéchois, the site offers an authentic camping experience far from busy tourist crowds.

The campsite extends across a spacious four-hectare estate shaded by trees and bordered by the river, creating a naturally tranquil atmosphere. With just 49 harmoniously arranged pitches, the site maintains a small-scale, family-friendly ambiance. Guests can choose between 19 traditional camping pitches, 2 dedicated motorhome pitches, 6 mobile homes, 10 chalets and rooms, and 12 private locations. Whether you arrive with a tent, caravan, motorhome, or prefer the comfort of a rental cottage or chalet, there is an option suited to your style of holiday.

Open from May to the end of September, the campsite welcomes nature lovers, hikers, cyclists, bikers, and fishing enthusiasts seeking relaxation in an unspoiled setting. The riverside location allows for refreshing swims and quiet moments by the water, while the surrounding woodland enhances the sense of privacy and serenity.

The atmosphere is warm and personal, with a genuine family spirit. Guests are welcomed into a calm environment where birdsong and cicadas replace traffic noise. This is camping in its purest form: generous space, fresh air, and a friendly setting that makes it easy to unwind from the very first day.

Camping Relais des Brison is perfectly positioned for exploring Southern Ardèche’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. The campsite is located about 12 km from local shops and essential services, ensuring both convenience and peaceful seclusion.

The surrounding region is renowned for its spectacular limestone gorges, hiking trails, and charming hilltop villages. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore countless walking and cycling routes directly from the campsite. The La Beaume River offers opportunities for swimming, relaxing by the water, and enjoying the scenic riverbanks.

Within driving distance, visitors can discover picturesque Ardèche villages, weekly local markets, traditional restaurants, and riverside cafés. The wider Ardèche region is famous for canoeing adventures, panoramic viewpoints, and historic sites. You’ll find restaurants and small bars in nearby villages, while larger supermarkets and additional services are accessible within a short drive.

This is an ideal base for those wanting to combine nature, gentle adventure, and authentic French countryside experiences — without sacrificing tranquility at the end of the day.

The campsite operates seasonally from May through the end of September. As a two-star campsite focused on nature and relaxation, it is particularly suited for travelers seeking calm surroundings rather than large-scale entertainment facilities.

With only 49 pitches across four hectares, space and privacy are key advantages. The setting is peaceful and somewhat remote, so planning grocery shopping in advance is advisable, as the nearest shops are around 12 km away. A car or motorbike is recommended for exploring the wider Ardèche region comfortably.

The riverside location is a highlight, but as with all natural swimming areas, water levels may vary depending on the season and weather conditions. Outdoor footwear and sun protection are recommended, especially in the summer months when Southern Ardèche enjoys warm, sunny weather.

If you’re dreaming of a campsite in Southern Ardèche where nature, quiet, and authenticity come first, this intimate riverside retreat offers exactly that — a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.
