Camping La Chevrette, Waterfront campground in Digoin, France
Camping La Chevrette is a waterfront campground on the Loire River in Digoin with 74 pitches, many equipped with electric connections. The site features separate areas for mobile homes and safari tents, along with a swimming pool, playground, and washing facilities.
The campground sits near the Pont-Canal de Digoin, built between 1834 and 1838 to connect the Canal du Centre with the Canal Latéral à la Loire. This engineering feat made Digoin a key junction point in France's inland waterway system.
The campground serves as a gateway to explore regional Romanesque architecture and the local ceramics heritage displayed at the nearby Digoin museum.
The site sits at the junction of multiple waterways with direct access to the river and canals for boating and exploration. Visitors should come in spring and summer when weather is best and most water and land activities are available.
The campground offers access to three converging waterways, making it a rare point where inland shipping traffic intersects on multiple routes. This makes any season interesting for watching boat traffic and water activities unfold.
