Camping in Ardèche Les Ranchisses » Camping Ardeche

Discover a unique campsite in the Ardèche

In the heart of the Ardèche mountains, Yelloh! Village Les Ranchisses campsite opens the doors to its haven of peace. Settle into a fully equipped cottage or a spacious pitch. Let yourself be lulled by the murmur of the river, then dive into the vast heated water park before enjoying local cuisine at the bistronomic restaurant. An exceptional spa, sports activities, family entertainment and premium services set the pace for your days.

Les Ranchisses is much more than a place to stay: it’s a family estate, built over three generations, where every guest is welcomed with the care reserved for a trusted host. Since 1981, the Chevalier family has kept alive an Ardèche art of living here—comfort without ostentation, nature without rusticity.
Nestled within the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park, the estate’s 30 hectares form a haven of serenity just minutes from Largentière and the Ardèche Gorges. The 18th-century stone building watching over the site has, over the decades, become the symbol of a distinctive hospitality—that of a family who truly welcomes you.

The campsite with swimming pool
in the Ardèche

TheLes Ranchisses water park is one of the estate’s most popular attractions. Open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., supervised by a lifeguard, it offers young and old alike an aquatic freedom rare for a campsite in the Ardèche. We have a heated water park of over 1,000 m², divided into three distinct areas. Heated pools, three Pentagliss slides, a Jacuzzi and a fun paddling pool make up a complex suitable for all ages. For adults, an outdoor pool reserved for swimmers, two outdoor pools, a covered swimming corridor and a NaturSpa balneotherapy area: jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, invite you to relax to the utmost.

For the little ones, there’s theAquakid, a 100 m² area with mini-slides and a rain mushroom. The paddling pool with slides and the indoor pool with pentagliss make for unforgettable afternoons. The water is heated, access is included in your stay, and a wristband is given to you on arrival. Aquatic activities according to schedule: swimming lessons, aquagym, aquabike, water trampoline, Wibit, pool crossfit…

Activities for the whole family
in Ardèche

At Les Ranchisses, there’s never a dull moment, but there’s never a dull moment either. The idea is to have the choice: to participate or not, to be agitated or to stroll. That’s what we think vacation is all about.
For children (aged 1-17), three clubs await their members: Baby Club (1-4 years, free except July-August), Mini Club (5-11 years, free), Club Ados (11-17 years, free, July and August). Mascots Yellito and Yellita look after the little ones. On the program: creative workshops, Olympics, treasure hunts, weekend shows and a mini-disco at 6pm every evening.
For sports enthusiasts: hiking, cycling, canoeing on the river, fitness, pilates, pétanque, molky… And from May 2026, a new guinguette area, pumptrack, hang-gliding, volleyball, inflatable structures, will further enrich the estate.

The entire length of the La Ligne river runs alongside the estate. Direct access from the campsite, free supervised swimming from 9am to 8pm, canoes available at no extra charge… The river is not a backdrop: it’s a living space in its own right. The banks are stony and authentic. Picnicking, angling, strolling at the end of the day when the low-angled lights make the stone glow. Some guests confide that it’s here, at the water’s edge, that they understand why they come back every summer.
