Fantastic camping options for area around clemont-ferrand (massif cental) (1 Viewer)

[D.ten]

Planning another month in France and we are looking at the massif central area as it's somewhere we have missed out before. The better half suggested this area and being a cycling fanatic, this was music to my ears. We are after a location with cycling for the family, easy reach of the mountains to cycle for me and good swimming option so for the kids.
Any suggestions for good camping sites would be gratefully received...
Bring on the summer

Oh, don't know why the title of this started with 'fantastic' , maybe the wine was too blame....

Optimism.

Last time we drove that area we followed a snow plough.

To my recollection there is a good Municipal site at Issoire, south of Clermont, depending how far out you are willing to go.

It has large, hedged pitches, and is next to a small lake and indoor tennis courts.

I believe there's some good cycling to be had around the Puy de Dome. There's an aire at the bottom and a lovely view from the top, although you may choose to take the train to see it.

As a one off (non-cycling) family attraction nearby you've got Vulcania, which has its own aire.
