  • On the banks of the Ardèche river just outside Sampzon
  • 20 minutes' drive from the Pont d'Arc
  • River beach, canoe hire, restaurant and swimming pool with waterslide
There’s no ignoring the mighty Ardèche river when you stay at RCN La Bastide en Ardèche – as the name suggests, the river runs right past the site, making this Sampzon site a handy spot to settle in for days spent canoeing, fishing and/or hanging out at the river beach (for paddling, beach games and sunbathing sessions). The river’s not the only source of aquatic antics around here though – there’s also a fab family-friendly outdoor pool area, with kids’ pool, waterslide and sun terrace. And when you’d rather stay dry for a bit? Well then, time to head to the playground, or the multisports court, or the pétanque court, or check out what school-hol activities are running for the nippers. Or maybe it’s time to hire bikes for local exploration, or visit nearby Château de Sampzon, or go horse riding in the forest, or sign up for a canyoning excursion, or head over to gawp at the huge Pont d’Arc? Yup, it’s safe to say you’re likely to find plenty to fill your days around these parts. So it’s pleasing to know that if you’re a little tired upon your return to base, you’ll not need to faff with food if you don’t fancy it – culinary responsibilities can be delegated to the good folks at the restaurant or snack bar, leaving you just the task of deciding which drink you’d like to sip on the bar terrace.

Local attractions

This is a smashing area to explore by canoe – hire them on site for local paddling or head to Vallon Pont d'Arc, 15 minutes away, to navigate along through the Ardèche's gorges to the huge Pont d’Arc that sits astride the river. If you’re not up for the waterways, it’s easy to get to the stone arch and the Gorges de l’Ardèche natural reserve beyond by car, too. Horse riding, canyoning and lots of hikes and bike rides can also be had nearby, as can treetop trails, paintballing and general silliness (human table football or giant sumo, anyone?) at Adventure Camp, 10 minutes’ drive away. There are lots of lovely little villages scattered around this area, too – Balazuc, Labeaume and Vogüé are all within a half-hour drive for your pottering pleasure.
