The Ludo Camping Park is situated in a natural reserve at the foot of the Coiron, a volcanic plateau and a lime stone area where some 2000 years ago a certain Julius Caesar already put up his tents.

      

The Campsite is enclosed by a path that leads to our village Lussas (0,6 km), an orchard, a vineyard and a mountain stream. This stream (the Auzon) flows to the Ardeche, world famous for its Pont d’Arc (natural arch Bridge) and its canyon.

The climate in this region is similar to that of the Mediterranean and the sun is a certainty in summer, and a near certainty in off - season
