Village Nature Zen

Village Nature Zen is a human-sized campsite dedicated to well-ness, silence and rest, located at the foot of a cliff and surrounded by two small rivers, in the heart of preserved nature in Southern Ardèche.
The campsite offers large shaded or sunny pitches (110 to 250 m²) and accommodations integrated into the environment (Ecolodges, Yurts, Mobile homes for 4 to 6 people), providing a setting conducive to slowing down and disconnecting.
Here, there are no entertainment activities or noisy facilities: the place is designed for those who wish to rest, breathe and take care of themselves in a peaceful environment.
On site: natural rivers, a pool dedicated to calm, snack bar and bread depot.
Well-ness events and activities (meditation, yoga, massages, and other practices).
Ideal for a soothing stay, in the heart of the character villages and wild landscapes of Ardèche.

Close to all the charming medieval villages: Balazuc, Largentière, Joyeuse, Montréal. A stone's throw from the Ruoms gorges and the Ardèche gorges. The Village Nature Zen opens the doors to a true paradise for hikers, cycle tourists and mountain bikers on wilder trails. Ideally located, close to the main roads but away from the crowds and traffic, the campsite offers easy access to all the outdoor activities that the Ardèche has to offer: climbing, caving, paragliding, via ferrata... You can also take advantage of your stay in the Ardèche to visit iconic sites (Pont d'Arc, Cirque de Gens, Bois de Païolive), charming villages (Balazuc, Vogüé, Joyeuse, Jaujac, Largentière, Vinezac, etc.), and sample Ardèche specialities at summer and night markets.
