Alan Rogers Review
Du Lion is a spacious site bordering the River Rhône, just on the outskirts of the interesting old market town of Bourg-Saint-Andeol. Close to the A7, this site makes a good overnight stop and is also a good base for exploring the famous Ardèche Gorges. There are 140 good sized, level pitches, 119 for touring; all have 6A electricity and long leads may be needed. They are informally laid out, most with good shade from mature trees, others more sunny. In high season, there is a full activity programme with themed dinner and dance evenings, barbecues and sports tournaments, nevertheless the camping area remains peaceful.
Aqua gym is available three times a week. A recent addition, canoeing and kayaking excursions are arranged directly from the site. There are discounted excursions to the local crocodile farm and equestrian centre. The lack of an on-site shop is compensated for by a large supermarket 500 m. from the site.
