Village de Gîtes et Camping "Le Martinet", Riverside campground in Saint-Étienne-Vallée-Française, France.
Le Martinet is a riverside campground on about 9 hectares alongside the Gardon River with 45 shaded pitches offering electrical connections. The site includes natural swimming areas in the river, tennis courts, a children's play area, and laundry facilities.
The campsite is located in the Cévennes region, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1970 for its agricultural landscapes and mountain heritage. The area has long been shaped by its relationship with the Gardon River and traditional farming practices.
The facility maintains connections with both the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail Association and the Urban V Path Association, integrating regional hiking networks.
The campground operates from April through October, making it best suited for spring and autumn visits when weather is mild. Arriving earlier in the season ensures better pitch selection and easier facility access.
The site sits near a natural waterfall cascade on the Gardon that creates pools perfect for swimming without artificial intervention. These naturally formed pools offer visitors an authentic river bathing experience shaped by the water flow.
