Bivouac de Gournier, Riverside campground in Saint-Remèze, France.
Bivouac de Gournier is a campsite situated on the banks of the Ardèche River with basic amenities. The grounds provide cold showers, dry toilets, and tent spaces for overnight stays along this section of the river.
This site developed as a stopping point for multi-day canoe and kayak trips through the Ardèche Gorges. It has since served as a key rest point for river expeditions within the protected natural area.
The name comes from an old waypoint where travelers once gathered along the river. Visitors experience how the flowing water shapes daily life and movement through this part of the Ardèche valley.
The site operates from April through September and requires advance bookings. Visitors should expect basic conditions and bring gear for a safety briefing upon arrival.
The location sits roughly halfway through the Ardèche Gorges route and provides direct river access. From here, visitors can watch local wildlife and see views of the gorge landscape that are hard to appreciate while paddling.
