Our advice and tips for your camping holiday

The appeal of the great Auvergne spaces becomes irresistible as soon as the sunny days arrive. Whether you choose to pack your bags at Camping La Clairière on the banks of Lake Aydat or at Camping des Combrailles near its fishing ponds, good organization is the key to a successful stay. Here are our essential tips to fully enjoy the volcanoes and lakes of Auvergne, whether you are in a tent or a comfortable lodge.

Book your stay in the heart of the volcanoes

For a vacation in Auvergne, it is essential to anticipate. Our Evanature establishments are very popular for their preserved natural setting. Booking in advance guarantees you the ideal location, whether you are looking for the shade of the forest or the immediate proximity of the water of the lakes. By getting there early, you also benefit from the best prices for your getaway between hiking and swimming in fresh water.

Choose the accommodation suited to your desires

The choice of your base determines the success of your memories. Evanature offers you a variety of options: the conviviality of traditional camping on the banks of Lake Aydat, the calm of Combrailles for fishing enthusiasts, or our lodges ideally located for reaching the major sites of the region. Evaluate your needs in terms of services, such as proximity to hiking trails or children's facilities, to find the accommodation that fits your budget.

Prepare your hiking and nature equipment

Camping in the mountains requires a specific suitcase. Unlike the seaside, evenings in Auvergne can be cool, even in summer. Make a list including clothing suitable for walking, a well-insulated sleeping bag and a flashlight for when you return from a walk under the stars. Don't forget the basic equipment for outdoor life: stove, folding table and camping chairs transform your campsite into a true haven of peace facing the volcanic domes.

Safety and well-being in natural areas

Before hitting the road, check the condition of your vehicle, especially if you plan to travel the winding roads of the Chaîne des Puys. Once there, a well-stocked first aid kit is essential to treat small scratches from hiking or soothe insect bites. Also remember to bring your reservation documents and identity papers for a peaceful arrival.

Explore local activities

Auvergne is a land of adventure. Before your departure, find out about the activities to do around our campsites: climbing Puy de Dôme, morning fishing in Combrailles or water sports on Lake Aydat. At Evanature, we like to share our secret corners and our local advice so that every moment of your stay is synonymous with discovery and total disconnection in the great outdoors.
