Direct access to the river from the campsite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From 50m for the nearest to 250m for the farthest, all pitches and rentals have direct access to the Dr\u00f4me river<\/strong>. There’s no road to cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The river Dr\u00f4me runs alongside the campsite<\/strong>, along the rami\u00e8re. You reach it directly, via one of the small paths between the wild hedges and pebbles. Its clear, pure water, with its often unreal colors, flows freely. It skirts the pebble banks<\/strong> that are so many beaches where you can bask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole family can enjoy a safe swim in the pure water of this natural pool<\/strong>. You can also cool off with your feet in the water, enjoying the mild Dr\u00f4me sunshine and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The River Dr\u00f4me offers children a unique natural playground<\/strong>.\nThey can sail along the water on a buoy<\/strong>, or let themselves be shaken by river jumps. You can also watch butterflies, beavers and aprons with them<\/strong>, and let them discover this wilderness. An incomparable experience and memories, better than swimming in the crowded, chlorinated waters of swimming pools, water parks…Many activities can be enjoyed in the water or along the Dr\u00f4me river route. For the adventurer at heart, who loves water sports with canoeing<\/strong> and kayaking, but also for the family on the V\u00e9lodr\u00f4me bike ride along the Dr\u00f4me river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Swimming in the Dr\u00f4me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The clear, pure water<\/strong> of the River Dr\u00f4me, with its often unreal colors, flows freely. It skirts the pebble banks that are so many beaches where you can bask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole family can enjoy a safe swim in the pure water <\/strong>of this natural pool<\/strong>. You can also cool off with your feet in the water, enjoying the gentle Dr\u00f4me sunshine and the surrounding mountain scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The river offers children a unique natural playground<\/strong>, where they can play with the pebbles, or float along on a buoy, and let themselves be shaken by the river jumps. We encourage you to explain to children why they should avoid building small pebble dams. These dams have a significant impact on rivers and the species that live in them. They heat up the water, endangering many aquatic species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>

Navigate the waters of the Dr\u00f4me in a canoe-kayak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paddle one of Europe’s last wild rivers<\/strong> and let yourself glide along. This whitewater activity is available from April to October, depending on river conditions. There’s a descent to suit every taste and level. Departures from its mountain tributaries are highly technical, for experienced enthusiasts<\/strong>. The quieter lower valley is ideal for families with children<\/strong>, with departures from Sainte-Croix or Saillans. In spring, the flow is more turbulent than in summer, when the level is lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Saillans, 3 canoe-kayak rental bases<\/strong> are at your service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
