Camping Sandaya La Roubine

We had reserved a spot with a private bath, min. 100m2, looked great in the pictures on the homepage. The reality was a dusty mess with many loose stones, not even 100m2, so slanted that the supports weren’t sufficient, 3 trees scattered around the spot, difficult to place the caravan at all. There was nothing green here, just dirt and stones. Across from us was a washhouse, where for 24 hours only the doors slam and at night dishes are washed without consideration. The same goes for most dog owners, who allow their dogs to relieve themselves on all parcels, with everything that entails, great. When you look forward to your vacation and take quite a long trip only to find such a situation, it is very unfortunate. The pool area is also aging, raised tiles, old loungers, cleaning the front area with leaf blowers… Everything but 5 stars.

The campsite is small and quiet, the size of the pitches is sufficient and the staff at check-in are very nice and helpful. The baguette was fresh baked in the morning, however there was not much else to buy in the shop. The sanitary facilities are old, have deficiencies, are not clean and have no separation between men and women. The pool also has deficiencies in the walls. We had to leave earlier due to illness. However, Sandaya refuses to refund part of the bill. We have never experienced this in many years of camping holidays. The campsite does not deserve 5 stars. We will not return and cannot recommend Sandaya.

very nice spot right by the river; 15min walk to Vallon Pont d'Arc; bread roll service on order; small shop; large pitches; sanitary facilities clean, possibly sparse in high season, for spring unfortunately very drafty/cold; good starting point for hiking/cycling

Nice green area, great location, decent clean sanitary facilities, nice pool with lifeguard. Caution with small children, the river is dangerous, do not leave them unattended, there is no fence or similar. Unfortunately, the place has been taken over by a chain; whether it will remain nice is yet to be seen. Generally, there are several things that would need renovation in the near future; will the money be spent for that? In spring, many seniors from the Netherlands (regular guests). The area is great. Tip: Chauvet cave and a canoe tour! At night, sometimes jet planes flew by, which became very loud, but fortunately passed after 30 minutes. The shop has very little selection, but baguettes and croissants on order are highly recommended. In conclusion, we would come back. Overall, we liked it very much.

We have been to this site for the third time. Everything is simply perfect here. The plots are marked by bushes and trees, and there are plenty of shaded areas. The sanitary facilities are always clean. The reception is always very warm. The way to Vallon-Pont-d'Arc takes only 10 minutes by bike. We can also recommend the restaurant. We usually travel in the off-season with our dog. Of course, we can't judge what it's like in the high season.

We visited the campsite for the second time as a family (2 adults and 3 children). Overall, it’s a super, nice, small site where nothing is missing.

We went paddling here with our two kids (pickup at the campsite). We really enjoyed it. Very friendly, nice large pitches on the banks of the Ardeche, and clean sanitary facilities. Croissants and baguettes can be ordered in the morning at the small shop on the site; it takes 20 minutes on foot to reach the beautiful Vallon Pont d'Arc. We didn't use the restaurant as we ate in the town. Since we were there with our camper (7.45m), we happily rented the Renault Zoe (range 400km, price €60, including charging). We would love to come back for paddling.

Actually a very nice place. The restaurant, the pool, and the mini-market were not very nice. Too loud live music in the restaurant. Prices were already quite high in June. You need a car or bicycle to get to the nearest supermarket.
