Description

A place to live with an ecological vocation, in the peaceful valley of the Beaume, in the Cevennes of Ardèche.
A small paradise of nature to share with you, on the grounds of our old farm, feet in the water.

The setting

A 10 hectare plot of land crossed by two abundant rivers, inhabited by an old stone building from the XVIIIth century as no one does anymore.
This place with its omnipresent nature still amazes us every day, the dream of a lifetime.

The spots

There is something for everyone, by the river, under the cherry trees or in the forest, close to the common areas or isolated and intimate. Many sites are shaded and the river is abundant even in the middle of summer.
For more comfort, we can also accommodate you in our unusual riverside hut.

The sanitary facilities

Independent sanitary facilities, entirely built with recycled materials, are available in the camping area.
The toilets are dry and the shower with hot water.
The water comes from a spring. We have been enjoying it for 7 years now, but if you prefer chlorinated water, there is some in the nearby village :)

The amenities

A barbecue and a table are available.
A kitchenette with hotplates and a fridge is available.

The activities

Of course, there is the river.
And then, many hikes starting from the farm, towards the Cevennes valleys or the Tanargue massif.
The valley of the Beaume is full of places, each more beautiful than the other.
You can also visit the fortified town of Largentière, the Chauvet cave or the Pont de l'Arc if you like the world and canoeing.
A horse riding center is located a few kilometers away.
We particularly recommend the Beaumont market at 5pm in the summer: regional products and breathtaking views.
In the same way, the market of Laboule ends with evening meals/concerts.

Other things

In addition to the notions of sharing, tolerance and freedom that we wish to convey, this project also has a slightly militant side, and wishes to distance itself from the omnipresence of money in our society.
Through this project, we hope to give back to man his place in nature, in a context of freedom and respect of others, at a time when these are drastically reduced by politics or religion.
Among other things, we have decided that the practice of naturism would be free, without being obligatory.


Rules

This ecological place advocates freedom and "living well together".
In this sense, we thank you for not leaving any waste, respecting the calm of the place and the other campers.

Also, since naturism is free, we ask everyone, dressed or not, to be open-minded and respect the choice of each one.

Extras

Tent ready

Tent 3 places, free, if available.
It's just a temporary solution, it does its job, nothing more.

  • Hello
    Nature and nothing but Nature
    Ideal for discovering naturism

  • We spent two days at Yannick's with a van in nature, in the peace, with good times at the edge of the magnificent river... We shared a delicious meal with other campers that Noémie had prepared for us: pretty, well-presented plates with vegetables, edible flowers and fresh produce - a real treat. We'll be back.

  • Exactly as described...
    Too bad we couldn't reserve one of the meals made on site.....
    Very friendly hosts
    The river is sublime!

  • A family problem prevented me from honouring this reservation, and I only found out about it on the day I arrived. Despite various messages (text, voice and email) the owner never replied or called me back. So I'm going to sit on my €60, too bad.
    As for the location, the very small parking lot is more than 100 m from the campsite. If you have a tent weighing more than 15 kg, bags and various accessories, you need to take this into account...
    Nobody at reception on the day of my arrival, with whom I could (perhaps) have found common ground since I had to leave, and that's a shame.
    No one saw fit to contact me again after my (brief) stay, and all I got were pre-recorded messages on the website.
    Of course, Home Camper passes the buck to the owner and supposed banking arrangements...
    Nice experience, but I wouldn't repeat it.
    My opinion of this place will therefore have to do with the ghost owner and the Home Camper website...

  • Ideal for a quiet vacation.
    Super friendly welcome and campers.
    It was more of a naturist place where non-naturists are accepted rather than the other way around. Ex no privacy at the shower door and window opening.
    It's great to have a river to cool off in.
    On the negative side, you can't access the camping area with your car, and it's hard to get everything out of the way when it's 40 degrees. And the fridge is really too small for everyone. So it's not possible to have cold blocks to store food in this heat.
    After all, it's good that there are toilets and a fridge.
    I'll certainly go back when it's cooler.

  • Nice concept, in a rare setting, but not always very accessible with young children. Disappointed with the services on site compared with the description. Yannick is very friendly and the river is sublime.

  • At last, a poetic place. Our stay was punctuated by beautiful encounters. I highly recommend this haven of peace to all nature lovers and open-minded people. Don't forget to book a table at Noémie's, a must on this site. Thank you Noémie and Yannick. See you soon for more Ardèche adventures!

  • A magnificent, calm and airy place, with access to the river, everything to make you feel good and plenty of information for visiting the region.
    Please note that the tents, parking and sanitary facilities are a little far apart, but otherwise top-notch!
    Many thanks to Yannick and the people who help him maintain this beautiful place.

  • I highly recommend this place!
    Great welcome, great atmosphere, the river and its rocks are divine.
    The surrounding villages are also very nice, as are the people of the Ardèche.

  • 1st experience in a van. We had booked 2 days and we extended because we felt so comfortable there. Yannick's welcome was top-notch and it felt so good to meet kind-hearted people whose main motivation wasn't money. What's more, this tolerance and freedom between nudists and "textiles" is really appreciated. Thank you for this experience and this little moment away from our busy lives of over-consumption and individuality. Thank you

  • This place is like wild camping with a plus. Don't expect camping but tune in well when you arrive. We felt quite lost after a long drive and when all info is in French and internet not available it gets a little tricky. Food at Naemie's was sublime and made up for a lot. But overall my expectations were too high, unfortunately.

  • Yannick welcomed us with a smile, and we didn't even take the time to thank her for giving us the opportunity to discover a little of her world! In no particular order, we enjoyed an incredible crème de marron, a crystal-clear river, people we met who were all imbued with a humanity that did our hearts good, magical starry nights, overflowing dry toilets... in short, thank you for sharing with us Yannick, Noemie and the others I didn't know, it's a magnificent gift you've given to my daughters, my best friend and me! Thank you for this beauty and this hope!

  • Very warm welcome, our stay went very well in a magnificent setting!

  • Very sympathetic! Beautiful place with nice bathing places in a river. It was very refreshing. We also had dinner there. Noémie did an excellent job of cooking. We sat by the river at a table with all the other guests. It was a very nice evening.

  • We had a great night

  • Magnificent setting if you're looking for a simple, natural vacation.
    Many thanks to Yannick and Noémie for their warm welcome.

  • Very pleasant stay with Yannick.
    Convivial place while having its corner of intimacy. Highly recommend.

  • I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to enjoy my best vacation in years, in such a wonderful location. I was very happy, and in excellent company with the other users. Yannick is open, welcoming and simply friendly, and we can't help but share his vision and philosophy of life with visitors and users alike. This is Nature, with a capital N. I've rediscovered all the emotions of my "wilderness camping" days, the ease of recharging the battery of my mobile phone, an electrified and lit kitchen area, an extra fridge, comfort, in other words. The tents are in the shade, and you can hear the rustle of the river and the birds by day and by night. Bushes, various trees and tall ferns separate the users perfectly. We're close to each other, but not crowded at all, even in high season. I'd also like to mention two secure fireplaces, for cooking as well as for small gatherings of singers and musicians. For those of you who fancy a noisier party, Yannick offers a secluded corner along the river. I also really enjoyed the vegetables, fruit and jams offered by the "master of the house" who grows them. Noémie also offers us herbal teas and coffee, accompanied by a basket of self-service cakes of her own making, every morning. Le Rest'Eau offers fabulous dishes that are as colorful as they are tasty. Noémie is truly passionate about good, truly homemade food. If Yannick lets me, I'll gladly set up my tent on his land next year.

  • Hello
    I booked for 6 days and found myself spending 17 days, so beautiful and magnificent, the place is truly heavenly, wild
    Yannick's very warm welcome and well done to him
    the holidaymakers were very nice and friendly, we spent some wonderful evenings and I highly recommend Noémie's cooking, which was delicious.
    I'll be back at the first opportunity

    thank you Yannick
    thank you Noémie

  • An unforgettable experience.
    It was all there!

    The river, nature, sharing and conviviality.

  • Incredible place, almost wild and great welcome! I'll be back!

  • Writing and describing are useless. An experience to be lived fully.

    Thank you for everything Yannick and Noémie.

    We will come back again and again.

  • Very nice first experience.
    A natural and paradisiacal place.
    Yanick is welcoming and friendly.
    We had a very good breakfast prepared by Noemie ... facing the river.
    We will come back because this place is captivating!
    Thank you Yanick and Noemie.

  • ????

  • We spent the night of the winter solstice in this natural and welcoming site. The music of the river rocked the longest night of the year.

  • Superb place, a haven of peace with a very friendly host.
    Want to disconnect from the stress?
    This is the perfect place!

  • Do not answer at the most important moment to know at the arrival...Obliged to leave to settle elsewhere, one evening without knowing the corner! I strongly advise against it.

  • The stay at Laboule with Yanik was amazing. It's located in the middle of nature and an all around good experience if you want to get away for a few days. Yanik is a very welcoming person who has a nice passion project going on right in the heart of the alps.

  • Very pleasant and relaxing stay.
    Beautiful place.
    Noémie's cooking is a delight.

  • Very nice stay with Yannick ! It's calm and welcoming, thank you again!

  • Great stay for one night! Very quiet place, well equipped for home camping, my group and I highly recommend.

  • Just a beautiful place ! See exceptional
    Camping Faithful to the promised values
    As for naturism is well it was a first for us, even if we were not forced, we tested the experience and loved it.
    Friendly and welcoming host and excellent cooking by Noémie!
    We will certainly come back

  • Very pleasant stay, impossible to do more in the heart of nature, between forest, mountain and stream to swim! It was our second stay with Yannick and we will come back with pleasure.

  • Very good stay, very nice place and golden staff

  • It's a beautiful place, so well done, with space for everyone, tranquility and a really peaceful and respectful atmosphere!
    The place blends in with nature, and everything is very well done, from composting, springs, kitchen, shower, toilet.
    The proximity to the rivers makes it a haven of peace. We were conquered and we didn't necessarily think of taking off our clothes, but it was like an evidence finally, to feel free.
    Thank you!

  • But what a beautiful and wild place! We spent 6 days of dream there in spite of the heat wave.

  • It was great! We spent a great time! A place of paradise between the wild camping but a little comfort anyway thanks to the dry toilets and the small kitchen at disposal! Everyone is free to choose! It is calm while being convivial! And the small meal by the river of Noémie, greedy and healthy was a pleasure! It's reassuring to see places like this... A little break in our too fast and accumulative society .... Thank you!!!
    PS: we didn't know where to put our trash cans.... We brought them with us... Maybe an indication of where to put them would be useful ...

  • We were very well received in this beautiful and unusual place.
    Thanks to Yannick for this return to the roots!

  • Idyllic and magical setting, to be recommended to nature lovers, thank you very much to Fabien, Yanick's replacement who took us under his wing.
    A successful stay thanks to Fabien, thank you!
    Cassy and Dany

  • A beautiful meeting with beautiful people and a beautiful ecological project.
    A small corner of paradise for nature lovers.
    Thanks to Yannick and his friends for the welcome

  • Yannick is a very friendly and helpful host. The communication beforehand was smooth and the welcome was warm. He has created a beautiful place with total tranquility and absolute minimalism. To relax perfect. A small paradise. We will definitely come again.

  • Very nice place with river nearby. To come with a truck equipped because toilet and shower impracticable. No water except a spring. No electricity. No wifi. Nice gite

  • 3 weeks spent at Yannick's, a paradise for people who know how to stay simple and open. A hell for the precious and the closed people. Beautiful land, tranquility, resourcing, beautiful encounters. Thank you Yannick for making this possible.

  • Nice location at 2 steps from the river. Corner of nature lost between Valgorge and Joyeuse, special mention for the family restaurant in Valgorge. Nice values where everyone is very free. Little privacy on the other hand. 1 toilet and 1 shower for the whole campsite, that's just about right. It's a pity that the weather was not good.
    The Ardèche is tip top!

  • Our stay at Yannick's is a great memory! Thank you for simply sharing this beautiful place. Warm and benevolent atmosphere between the campers. Swimming in the river is a real pleasure ! See you soon !

  • We were delighted to spend a night in this beautiful setting.
    Immersed in the middle of the mountains, surrounded by nature.
    The cease passing below, it is really incredible. We loved getting up and swimming in the water.
    We will come back with great pleasure!

  • Very nice place, quiet - very well located, nice values. Attention: no drinking water if you don't want to drink from the source.

  • Superbe!
    Thank you for sharing this place!
    Greetings

  • Great meetings, a beautiful and wild place that I will not forget.
    I came with my two children, 11 and 2 and a half. The land is wild and we choose our location.
    our location. I had the chance to be welcomed by Sophie, an exceptional woman for this magical place, and Yannick, our super nice and natural host.
    Thank you to him for this beautiful, magical and natural place.

  • Our stay at Yannick's was idyllic, we will surely come back because we felt privileged to stay in Laboule at the edge of Labeaume. In the middle of the season we enjoyed the calm of the place as much as the conviviality with the other campers. It seems that the people who write obnoxious comments about the place would like to reserve this paradise for themselves by dissuading others from going there...;) Thank you Yannick for sharing this exceptional corner of nature!
