Camping Universal: Riverfront Family Camping in Rochegude, Provence

Nestled in the heart of southern France, Camping Universal in Rochegude offers a tranquil Provençal escape for families, couples and nature lovers. Spread across 4.5 hectares of shaded grounds, the site is lined with acacias and plane trees that create comfortable, breezy spots to relax. The Cèze river runs through the domain, providing natural swimming, a pebble beach and a constant source of refreshing coolness during warm summer days. The campsite blends traditional comforts with a taste of the unusual: a large heated swimming pool, multiple children's play areas, organized activities, and atypical accommodation options like perched treehouses and charming roulottes. In summer, the atmosphere becomes lively and convivial with one to two themed evenings or concerts per week, group games, tournaments and family-friendly entertainment designed to bring guests together. Practical facilities are well thought out: a bar-guinguette and restaurant serve local dishes and take-away options, an on-site grocery corner covers essentials, a laundry room and library are available, and accessible sanitary facilities ensure comfort for guests with reduced mobility. Services are tailored for convenience: breakfast baskets delivered each morning, a range of catered meal baskets and aperitif options featuring local flavors, baby kit rentals and linen hire with the option to have beds made on arrival. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the campsite an ideal base for regional adventures. Canoe-kayak on the Cèze, canyoning, spéléology, fishing, horseback riding, VTT trails and hiking are all close by. Cultural excursions to the Pont du Gard, Pont d'Arc, the Sautadet waterfalls, the arenas of Nîmes, Avignon and the Camargue enrich any stay with history and local colour. Pets are welcome, making the site suitable for whole-family getaways. Bookings close at midnight for same-day arrivals; check-in is from 15:30 to 19:00 and check-out by 11:00. Whether you seek relaxation by the river, family fun in a friendly campsite or a unique night in a treehouse or roulotte, Camping Universal delivers an authentic Provençal experience where nature and hospitality meet.
