The essential list for your stay at Evanature

Do you feel this excitement at the idea of ​​waking up facing volcanoes or by the water? Whether you pitch your tent on a bare pitch at Camping La Clairière or set up your camp in Combrailles, the experience of the great outdoors is unique. However, for this pleasure to remain complete, good preparation is the key. Here is our complete guide so you don't forget anything before heading to our Auvergne landscapes.

Your sleeping and protective equipment

To sleep peacefully under the stars of Auvergne, your shelter must be impeccable. Choose a tent adapted to your number: a 4-person tent for a couple offers comfort and appreciable storage space. Don't forget the tarpaulins, valuable allies for insulating your ground from the morning humidity of the lakes. A good sleeping bag and insulated mattress are essential, as nights can be chilly near water. For assembly, bring a mallet for the pegs and a headlamp, much more practical than a flashlight to keep your hands free during installation or evenings at camp.

Eat well outdoors

Cooking facing a panorama of volcanoes is a simple and tasty pleasure. Your kitchen essentials should include a reliable stove, a cooler for your fresh produce and jerry cans for drinking water. As for utensils, a frying pan, a saucepan, a can opener and reusable tableware are essential. Also think about biodegradable soap to respect our preserved environment and trash bags to leave your location as clean as you found it. If you prefer total relaxation, our Evanature properties are located near many local dining options.

Clothing and accessories for the Auvergne climate

In Auvergne, the weather can change quickly between the summit of a puy and the edge of a lake. The secret lies in layering. Bring t-shirts, but also a sweater or fleece for the evenings. A rain jacket is essential, as is your swimsuit to enjoy Lake Aydat or the swimming areas. As for shoes, equip yourself with a pair of hiking shoes for your excursions on the trails and comfortable sandals for life on the campsite. Don’t forget sun protection, a cap and mosquito repellent for your evenings by the fishing ponds.

Leisure and outdoor activities

Camping is the perfect time to disconnect. Take a hammock to read in the shade of the trees of La Clairière, a game of cards or a ball for family time. For the more active, don't forget your bikes to explore the Combrailles paths or your fishing rods to take advantage of our privileged fishing sites. Our lodges and campsites are strategically placed to allow you to practice your passions, whether water sports or long hikes.

Final checks before departure

Before heading to our establishments, make sure you leave with peace of mind. At home, turn off the water and gas, unplug electrical appliances and empty the refrigerator. Consolidate your important documents like your ID, driving license and Evanature reservation confirmations in one accessible pocket. Check your payment methods and bring some cash for small local businesses. Your checklist is now complete, all you have to do is enjoy the adventure that awaits you in Auvergne!
