Le Saint-Michelet, Riverside campground in Goudargues, France
Le Saint-Michelet is a campground with 160 pitches and 52 rental units positioned directly along the Cèze River. The site spans about 5 hectares and provides water access from its grounds for all guests.
The site was established during the expansion of camping tourism in the Gard region during the mid-20th century. It represents the broader movement that made France a destination for outdoor holidays and nature-based tourism.
The on-site restaurant sources ingredients from local producers in Gard and Ardèche to serve regional dishes. Visitors experience the food traditions that define the area through daily dining.
From April to September, the site operates with heated pools, washing facilities, and equipment rentals available to guests. A mini-club runs activities for children, and the grounds are laid out in an easy-to-navigate way.
The site has private access points to the river where visitors can swim, fish, or launch canoes directly into the water. This direct waterfront position makes it especially suited for those wanting to spend active time on the river.
