La Châtaigneraie, Camping ground near river Le Luech in Génolhac, France.
La Châtaigneraie is a campground with around 50 pitches arranged across sloped terrain, each with electrical connections and surrounded by trees and vegetation near the Luech River. The pitches are distributed across the property and provide access to basic facilities including washing areas.
The campground was established in the early 1960s as outdoor tourism began to develop in the Cevennen region, when families started exploring the French countryside more broadly. It grew alongside the expanding interest in rural travel and mountain getaways during that period.
The site connects visitors to the way of life in the Cevennen region through nearby local markets and regional products that reflect the area's agricultural traditions.
The site is open from April through September and provides washing facilities, internet access, and play equipment for guests. Its location between natural landscapes makes it convenient for day trips and hiking activities in the surrounding region.
The site sits between Mont Lozère and the Luech River, placing it on the edge of two important natural features that shape the local landscape. From here, visitors can easily reach medieval villages and less-crowded mountain paths without traveling far from their pitch.
