What campers are saying
Summarized by AI
This campsite scores with its idyllic location in the middle of the forest right by a river. Campers particularly enjoy the shady, spacious pitches and the relaxed, natural atmosphere. The swimming pool and the friendly team are also highly appreciated. Good to know for your trip: Anyone heading here should keep in mind that the nearest large supermarket is quite a distance away.

Pros
The peace is nice, but there is often unpleasant odor from the drains. Shower and toilet facilities are frequently broken. Standplaats/Huuraccommodatie: See previous post
Cons
Less odor would be welcome, and the shower knobs need fixing along with filling in the gaps. Standplaats/Huuraccommodatie: See previous post.

Pros
It’s a lovely place to be. The camping spots and rental accommodations are quite spacious. There's a nice swimming pool, friendly staff, and plenty to do for the kids as well as in the surrounding area. The restaurant offers a wonderful menu with a variety of dishes.
Cons
The restrooms sometimes had a bad smell and were not always very clean. However, the other buildings were in good condition.

Family
Pros
We had a wonderful time with our 16-year-old son. He was one of the older kids at the campsite, which we knew beforehand, but he had a great time. We had a small challenge, but the campsite handled it perfectly. Pitch/Accommodation: Our spot was very spacious! We were very happy with the shade, and the campsite's photo book of the pitches was extremely helpful.
Cons
The campsite is known as a 5-star camping site. This raises certain expectations regarding the restaurant, cleanliness of the toilet facilities, and so on. Overall, it was good, but in my opinion, not more than 4 stars. Pitch/Accommodation: Be aware that it is a long campsite and that if you are at the back, you will have to walk a kilometer to the reception. We didn't mind, but if you find that too far, it might be better to bring a bike or scooter.

Pros
Very pleasant camping site with activities for children. Location/Rental accommodation: We ultimately stayed in a Naturalisé, which offered great comfort in this housing.
Cons
We went there at the end of the season, with much less choice at the pool snack bar and many activities were canceled, I suppose, due to the lack of holidaymakers.

Beautiful surroundings, spacious tent. Relaxed atmosphere at the campsite. Pitch/Accommodation: Spacious tent with a lovely view. Large terrace. Plenty of storage space and inventory. The river was really fun for the kids!
Cons
There was often an unpleasant smell around the sanitary building. Pitch/Accommodation: We had quite a bit of trouble with mice in the tent even though all food was stored in boxes.

More info about Camping l'Hirondelle
Surrounded by dense trees and high mountains, Camping l'Hirondelle promises peace and relaxation in a picturesque landscape. Campers can enjoy a relaxing holiday here, with plenty of variety thanks to the wide range of sports on offer.
Family-friendly site with a number of swimming options
Camping l'Hirondelle has three heated outdoor swimming pools, which guarantee a welcome cool-down in the warm summer months. Aerobics and aquafitness classes are also regularly offered here, allowing holidaymakers to keep fit. There is also a paddling pool for children at the resort. This is surrounded by deckchairs so that parents can relax while their children play in the shallow water. In the warm summer months, we recommend taking a walk to the nearby River Bès. Some stretches of sandy shore offer perfect conditions for bathing and splashing around for campers of all ages.
Comfort campsite with upscale facilities
The site is located in the French department of Auvergne-Rhônes-Alpes in the south-east of the country. The high mountains of the Alps can be seen from the campsite and offer a spectacular view. The immediate surroundings are characterised by dense tree cover and the nearest village of Menglon is around 3.5 km away. Thanks to the campsite's own grocery shop, holidaymakers don't have to leave Camping l'Hirondelle to do their shopping. The site also has a kiosk, a snack bar and a restaurant and offers a bread roll service for breakfast. The pitches at Camping l'Hirondelle all have their own spacious plots. Alternatively, the campsite rents out well-equipped mobile homes, tents, bungalows and cabins. Dogs are also welcome and holidaymakers can look forward to a varied sports and leisure programme. The programme includes pony riding, archery, mini golf and sports courses. There is also a fitness room at Camping l'Hirondelle. Bicycles and e-bikes can be hired at the campsite, which can be used to go on scenic day trips along the Bés. Naturally, travellers have access to fast Wi-Fi and the sanitary facilities are not only modern and well-maintained, but also accessible for guests with limited mobility. For excursions in the region, we recommend hiking through the mountains in the Vercors National Park or various water sports in the Drome Valley. Campers can experience exciting trips along impressive waterfalls by canoe or kayak.
Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping l'Hirondelle
What are the pitches like at Camping L'Hirondelle?
The pitches are beautifully nestled in a dense pine and deciduous forest. They offer plenty of shade, which is a real blessing, especially on hot summer days. Many pitches also surprise you with a great view of the surrounding fields and mountains.
What does the pool area and river access offer?
A fantastic water paradise awaits you with a heated pool, water slide, and whirlpool. Right next to it flows a small river where you can swim or build stone dams with the kids. A quick tip: after storms, the river water can sometimes be a bit cloudy.
Are there any special features about the layout of the site that I should know?
The campsite is quite narrow and long. If your pitch is further back, it will take you a good ten minutes to walk to the pool or restaurant. It is best to pack a scooter or a bicycle to stay mobile on the site.
What is the situation with prices and additional costs?
Is arrival with a large motorhome or a car with a caravan advisable?
What about the catering and the restaurant on site?
