About this location

Welcome to our associative and educational camping in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes. Managed by a local association, our camping aims to raise awareness about biodiversity preservation and co-management of the space through participation in various collective tasks.

Located in the heart of the Bourbonnais bocage, our camping includes an open-air third place with a living and sharing space in constant evolution, a shared garden, chickens, and 6 hectares featuring diverse habitats (meadows, woods, stream, quarry...) crossed by our educational trails for discovering biodiversity that we will be delighted to show you!

On site, a pétanque court is at your disposal. You can also participate in ongoing projects on the site (if you wish), as well as events organized by the association to which you are of course invited. You can also enjoy canoeing, hiking, or fishing around the camping. In nearby villages, you will also find bars, restaurants, shops, and cultural venues.

Book now for a unique and committed camping experience!

Perfect for...

Nature lovers, families, couples or alone, cyclists taking the Via Allier, or walkers of Compostela, the curious and connoisseurs of astonishing ecosystems.
