Lovely location next to river, mountains backdrop.
English spoken at reception.
Beautiful river beach great for kids.
2 minute walk from reception to get to 2 swimming pools, 1 with wide shallow steps great for little ones. Restaurant/bar and indoor sports hall with 4 large inflatables. Stage area for evening entertainment.
Next to reception was a playground, trampoline and small shop.
Pitch was large enough and shady.
Brilliant shower blocks, even a separate one with parent and child showers, small loos and sinks for kids.
Walked into Millau town, about 15-20 mins along cycle path which is great as you don't have to go on the road.
Very pretty town.
Stayed 3 nights, and would loved to have stayed longer.
Only down side was the evening entertainment music was quite loud up til 11pm and my 6 year old son did have trouble getting to sleep until it finished. It was very hot though, which also didn't help.

Our first visit to this site. Pleasant reception staff, English spoken, (reception closes at lunch time ) Plenty of large pitches some by riverside. 2 swimming pools, bar / restaurant. Plenty of water points and EHUs. Good toilet/shower block, clean and well kept. Close to Millau town centre ( 2 Km ) Good for visiting Millau viaduct. Market in Millau Wednesday a. M. Our visit was in early June, some facilities only just opening. We would certainly recommend this site.

Here for three nights in early July on our way north going home. Approaching Millau from he south was spectacular. Hot sunny weather, car windows open and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio as the road steeply descended and twisted round a number of bends. As each bend was rounded a new spectacular sight appeared each with a wow factor and then - Brian May's guitar solo - memorable. Now the campsite.
This site has an attractive riverside location very conveniently situated near the town and has a couple of supermarkets nearby. Access to the site is straightforward.
The pitches are grassy and spacious some shaded and some sunny. Toilets/showers etc are good and clean with plenty of hot water.
Exploring the gorges is a must with wonderful and exhilarating views from the high ground and of course, the magnificent viaduct.

Les Rivages is a medium sized site and as all other reviews state it is an excellent base for touring the areas towns and gourges
It is easy to find and well located approximately 20min walk from Millau town centre
Millau itself is a fantastic town with a good range of supermarkets, shops and the night market is really worth a visit. Lots of canoe hire places which take you varying distances up the river, drop you off, and let you paddle back
The staff at the site are friendly and reception was good
Our pitch was a good size and on the edge of the river which is nice for swimming although a little cold
There is a very small shop which sells the basics, but runs out quickly and was shut on Sunday when we arrived. We didn’t rely on it at all and did all shopping in town
We ate at the restaurant once which was reasonable and we stayed for the ‘entertainment ‘ after our meal. Maybe we picked a poor night but it was laughably aweful
The toilet / shower blocks were average but in a poor state of repair and needed refurbishing
An average site for touring the area, in need of some TLC, and we both agreed we would not use it again

Large pitches. They probably thought they were doing us a favour when we were allocated a pitch near the river, but it was just dust and when it rained this turned to mud and was a real mess ! Pools were nice but no footwear allowed and the ground around one pool was too hot to walk on. Nowhere near enough sunbeds even though there was room for them. I was told off for wearing swimshrts by a staff member, a bit wierd as the lifeguards wore swimshorts, and he never said a word to a gang of lads with swimshorts on. In fact the pool area was not people friendly at all. Pizzas in restaurant really good and huge. Drinks expensive - my wife ordered a glass of wine and got less than half a small glass ! Great location for walking into Millau. Good restaurants & bars in town. Monday night in town there's a food festival, which is really good.

Stayed at this site for 18 nights up to the night of 16th July. We loved almost every minute of our holiday here and though we have stayed in the area before, it was many years ago (in the late 80s) and it was amazing how little we saw of the area during that last visit. Made up for it this time though and even visited the old walled city of Carcassonne which, though it was a long journey, was well worth it. What a place!
The Gorges du Tarn (and the adjacent Gorges) are absolutely stunning and spectacular and words cannot do it justice. You have to go see the place for yourself. If you like scenery, you won't be disappointed. My partner, Susan, really enjoyed our outings up and down the many narrow winding roads with their unguarded sheer drops - NOT!. A head for heights is an advantage in this region that's for sure.
Millau itself is well worth several easy walks from the site and a visit to the glove factory Guibert Freres on Av. Gambetta is fascinating. There are also some very good restuarants in the town (try la Mangeoire on Boulevard la Capelle) and an excellent market.
There is a small and somewhat tired-looking SuperU 5 mins drive from the site but take the D992 toward Saint-Affrique and you will find a much larger, well stocked LeClerc within sight of the now famous Millau Viaduc.
The Viaduc is well worth seeing, as is the 'Viaduc Espace Info' situated below it - follow the road from LeClerc to the roundabout at the top of the hill. The crossing costs a very expensive 8 Euros and we were quite disappointed as you don't really get to see much from it - you are on a motorway after all and the views from either side are obstructed by the huge wind deflectors. From below though, it is one impressive construction!
The campsite itself wasn't at all bad, though we were glad we weren't there at the height of the season as it looked as though it could be very busy. We had a very large, shady pitch which was great as the weather for most of our stay was very hot (30°C+) and sunny. There are unshaded pitches for the sun-loving brigade but we are glad we didn't have one. We did get some rain and yes, it did turn the dust a bit sticky but once the sun reappeared, it soon turned to dust again. Entertainment was provided for children and adults alike - mostly at the adjacent sports complex that included a pool and a bar/restaurant. Can't comment too much on these facilities as we only went to the restaurant once (and weren't very impressed) and didn't bother with the pool at all, preferring to splash about in the river. We found the night-time entertainment a little intrusive at times as it could be clearly heard pretty much all over the site. To be fair though, it wasn't every night and didn't start until we were into our 2nd week so we didn't have to put up with it for long! The quality of the toilet/shower facilities was a little mixed. The main block near reception has seen better days and is in need of an overhaul. Several showers and loos were broken and stayed that way all the time we were there. Another nearby block was being renovated and finally opened 3 days before we left. Needless to say, we used that one as soon as it was ready! The small shop stocked a few basics and, after the bread ordering system stopped in our 2nd week, frequently ran out of bread in the mornings. Best time to get there was as soon as it opened!
In summary, this is a fantastically beautiful area of France to visit and well worth the long haul from Calais with a caravan in tow. Would I use the site again? Yes, but not in the high season (mid July through August) as it would be too busy and noisy for our tastes but it is a great site for kids and if we had been there with my partners girls when they were 10 (10 years ago!) I'm sure they would have loved it.
