"Fantastic experience for the family. Activities were great and organised perfectly so we could relax."
Andrew Hirst, Savane, 2011
Our Adventure Centre at Camping La Savane (some know it as 'Labeaume') is owned by us and is private and very spacious. It offers excellent facilities for all the family including a swimming pool, playing fields, boules court, table tennis and café/bar.
The charming and popular town of Ruoms with its cobbled pathways and quaint buildings, many restaurants and bustling market is only 2 miles away from the centre.
Whilst this centre has a great range of activities, the unforgettable and exhilarating two-day descent of the Ardèche River with a one-night bivouac is certainly the highlight of adventure at Savane. 2-person open canoes are used for the descent. The overnight stop is at a bivouac site where Acorn staff cook your evening meal and provide breakfast before your second day of canoeing.
The night of the two-day descent is spent sleeping under the stars as you bivouac on the banks of the river in the deep heart of the gorge.
What's included?
All our holidays are FULLY inclusive. This means all your activities, equipment and instruction are included in the price. In addition, we offer full board accommodation for 6 nights. We have lots of experience in providing good nutritious food suitable for multi-activity holidays and feeding fussy children! Three meals a day are included - breakfast is usually continental in style, lunch a picnic or salad, and for dinner we offer a 2-3 course dinner.
Accommodation is in Acorn tents – these are especially designed to be basic but comfortable, great fun for kids and grown-ups! All tents have solid floors and metal-sprung single beds; you will need to bring sleeping bags and pillows with you. Families of 3 or 2 have one tent whereas families of 4 or more have two adjacent tents. Although we can not always guarantee it, if your family has just one tent we will normally have it equipped it with the following items: hanging "wardrobe”, side table, light, mirror and fridge. If your family has been allocated two tents, the primary tent will be equipped with all these items. There is no electricity in the secondary tent – camping experience as it should be!

Places to visit
The Ardèche is famed mainly for its magnificent limestone gorge and beautiful rumbling river, but there is also plenty to see and explore in the surrounding areas which retain a strong Roman influence.
Some of the areas of interest surrounding Savane include the medieval village of Balazuc, carved into a limestone cliff; the picturesque towns of Aubenas and Vallon Pont d’Arc; and the Roman cities of Nimes and Orange.
Having your car with you for the duration of your stay will give you a little more independance to travel around the centre or to extend your visit to other parts of the region.
In addition, you can choose to extend your stay in the area. Please let us know if you need help organising hotels stays or for suggestions on places to visit.

Will I need to use my car whilst at centre?
If you choose a Self Drive or Fly Drive holiday to any of our centres, you may have to use your car to access some of our activity sites, especially at Villeneuve in Italy where almost all activities are off-site. You will of course be welcome to go off-site at any time for excursions or days/evenings out, although we find that many families only choose to do so once or twice during their holiday with us.
How to get there by car?
Simply put in your postcode to provide you with driving directions from your front door! If you need us to help you arrange channel crossing, Eurotunnel tickets or overnight accommodation, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will happy to assist you.
Our coach holidays are extremely popular - they offer you an excellent way of avoiding the hidden costs of motoring and the stress of driving in a foreign country. You can sit back and relax while beautiful scenery passes by, or just close your eyes and sleep through some of those motorway miles!

Why go by Coach?
We understand that travelling as a family can sometimes be stressful so we take the stress away by organising your travel. It means no hassle of having to arrive 3hrs earlier at the airport, it’s perfect for children and removes the extra trouble of excess baggage or lugging suitcases around the airport.
Meeting the Coach
We arrange several convenient pick up points which will start from the north of England or Scotland and then follow a main route south to Dover.
We choose the best route to suit all families going to a particular resort. Pick up points are often transport terminals such as coach and train stations, motorway services and, finally, Dover Docks.
