Camping Sandaya la Ribeyre

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Sandaya la Ribeyre

At the heart of the Auvergne, only 35 km to the South of Clermont-Ferrand and 12 km from Besse St. Anastaise, much care has been put into the spacious Sandaya la Ribeyre campsite. This unique 5-star campsite offers around 450 level, grassy pitches, of which around 200 are for tourers, and 108 have electricity (6/10A). Electricity, water and drainage are available on some pitches. They also offer a wide range of mobile homes for rent.

A superb large indoor/outdoor water park includes slides, toboggan and lazy river. A small artificial lake at one end of the campsite provides facilities for water sports. It is an excellent base for touring, being only 1 km. from Murol, dominated by its ancient château, 6 km. from Saint Nectaire and about 20 km. from Le Mont Dore and Puy-de-Sancy, the highest peak in the area.

There is a picturesque bar/reception area with a fountain and prize-winning floral decorations. Many young trees have been planted to add to those already established and there are fantastic views over the wooded mountains and of Château Murol. The overall impression is that of an immaculate park. The surrounding area has some superb scenery, from mountains rising to over 6,000 ft. to steep valleys, lakes and caverns. This site is a wonderful area for walking and cycling. Visit in May or June for fields of beautiful wild flowers and in September for the autumn colours.
