This pleasantly wooded site sits at the gateway to the Auvergne Natural Park with its spectacular volcanoes. Peaceful in low season, it has a busy summer period when it offers organised entertainment and the pool area is lively with children.
The pitches are arranged in groups, which are separated by shrubs and trees that provide ample shade. Dogs are welcome and will love long walks in the surrounding countryside.
Take a bus or a 20 minute walk to the spa town of Royat, where you can take advantage of the healing properties of the thermal waters. The volcanic area offers some invigorating walks and there are almost 50 châteaux dotted around the region. Children will enjoy Vulcania, a volcano-themed park.

The site was very difficult to find, up narrow bumpy hilly roads through built up area. Reception was closed when we arrived at 4pm - they like a long lunch in France but 3 hours is ridiculous. We tried to find a pitch but the lanes are very tight and... Show more

Stayed here early July 2018 for 3 nights on our way to the Grandes Causses. Glad we used Google's little orange man to check out the way to this site from Royat!. Do not enter site until you have selected your pitch. Reason - pitches are in... Show more

Although the site is at the top of the hill, it is a very good site. Wished we had more than two days at this site, as there is a lot to see nearby. Volcanic is a must see attraction, but do allow a whole day to visit. Very good... Show more

We also agree with all the previous comments. Do not use a Sat-Nav to access the site! Royat is a somewhat disappointing town being virtually part of Clermont Ferrand but the surrounding area of the Vocano National Park in the Auvergne is superb and well worth visiting. Ideal for walking.
