Camping Les Coudoulets

At Camping Les Coudoulets, your choice of accommodation mainly depends on how much comfort you want or how much you enjoy the outdoors. The campsite offers mobile homes for 4 to 5 people, cottages for 4 to 6 people, lodge tents for 2 to 4 people and a villa for 4 to 6 people with a private pool. The mobile homes are recent, air-conditioned and set on green, flowery and shaded plots. They have two separate bedrooms, a covered terrace, garden furniture, a fitted kitchen, a dishwasher and a TV. The lodge tents let you keep a simpler camping spirit, without an en-suite bathroom. You can therefore book a very well-equipped stay or an experience closer to nature in Ardèche.

The pitches at Camping Les Coudoulets are designed for campers with a tent, caravan or motorhome who want to remain self-sufficient. Standard pitches offer at least 80 m², with a 16-amp electrical hook-up and drinking-water taps nearby. If needed, you should plan for a cable of around 25 metres and an adapter suited to French or European sockets. Grand Confort pitches offer at least 95 m², with electricity, drinking water and wastewater connections directly on the plot. Premium pitches reach at least 100 m² and add private sanitary facilities. Each pitch can accommodate up to 6 people and 1 vehicle, which clarifies the setup before booking.

Direct access to the Ardèche river is one of the practical highlights of Camping Les Coudoulets in Pradons. The river is accessible from the campsite via steps or a small footpath. You reach a sand-and-pebble beach, which can be used for swimming, relaxing, sand games or a picnic by the water. The campsite states that it sits 26 metres above the river, which lets you enjoy the riverside while staying away from overnight dampness and flood risks. The sandy area also makes it easier to launch canoes. It's a real advantage if you want to alternate between natural swimming, the pool and water activities.

The water area at Camping Les Coudoulets brings together several pools and relaxation zones to vary your swims during the stay. The official website mentions a covered, heated pool measuring 16 m by 8 m, with jets, aquabikes and hydro-massage benches. You'll also find an outdoor heated pool with a stated depth of 1.60 m. Children have a paddling pool with water games, a small slide, playful features and jets on the pool's beach area. The campsite also mentions water slides, a space gliss and two pentagliss slides. The covered pool is heated from the campsite's opening in April right through to its closing in September. This setup lets you swim even when the weather is less stable.

Camping Les Coudoulets clearly focuses on young children and family holidays in southern Ardèche. The official website states that everything is designed for young children, with suitable sports structures, a play area, a large inflatable giraffe, water games and a pump track. The sanitary facilities also include features useful for families, such as baby baths, showers suited to children and large family shower rooms. Entertainment is designed for the youngest guests, with fun, family-oriented moments in summer. The campsite, on the other hand, states that its offering does not include activities dedicated to teenagers. This information is useful if you're travelling with children of different ages and want to choose a pace suited to everyone.

At Camping Les Coudoulets, you can organise several activities without leaving the site. The campsite has a multi-sports pitch for football and basketball, table-tennis tables, a pétanque area and a pump track that can be used with a mountain bike, scooter or rollerblades. During the summer, the establishment organises pétanque competitions, table-tennis tournaments and other sports tournaments. Occasional evening entertainment is also on offer, with dance shows, clowns, circus performers or magicians. The water area rounds out these activities with pools, water games and slides. This setup lets you stay on site on certain days, particularly when you want to slow the pace after an outing in Ardèche.

Camping Les Coudoulets makes it easy to organise a sightseeing stay in southern Ardèche. It's located in Pradons, near Ruoms and Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, two useful landmarks for planning your outings. From the campsite, you can plan days around the Ardèche river, the characterful villages, the Grotte Chauvet or the Gorges de l'Ardèche. Being close to the river also lets you practise canoe-kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing or swimming, depending on your preferences. The website also mentions nearby activities such as hiking, horse riding, canyoning or via ferrata. This location therefore suits you if you want to alternate active days, natural heritage and quiet time at the campsite.
