Eco Camping l’Alternatif

On a riverbank in Huriel, in the Allier, 15 minutes from Montluçon, L'Alternatif cultivates an eco-friendly, free-spirited and community-minded ethos, where sharing a meal with passing travellers comes naturally. This small, unusual campsite offers around fifteen original stays — gypsy caravans, yurts, tipis, treehouses, suspended tents, converted vans — alongside classic pitches for tents and motorhomes. A shared kitchen, eco-friendly dry toilets, a community bar and a campfire area complete this alternative world, accessible to people with disabilities and pet-friendly. The whole site can be privatised for groups of up to 46 people. Between hiking trails, small villages and unspoilt nature, the place appeals to lovers of authenticity: on Booking it scores 9.1/10, praised above all for its welcome and cleanliness.
