Nature et Amitié

A green patch of ground
In Ébreuil, in the Allier, the association Nature et Amitié runs a naturist campsite spread over 3 hectares, at the place called Côte Vieille, on the route de Nades. You're right in the Val de Sioule, in surroundings described by those who stay there as calm and lush, far from the bustle.

The site welcomes tents, caravans and campervans, with pitches in shade or sun depending on what you're after. No hotel complex here, this runs on an association basis, built for simple stays in touch with nature.

Pool and pitches
The campsite has an outdoor pool, free for campers. It's the detail that comes up most often in regulars' feedback, along with the overall calm of the place.

The pitches let you choose between sun and shade, a detail that matters in high summer when the campsite runs at full capacity, from late June to late August.

Access and membership
Nature et Amitié works like many association run naturist sites: access is reserved for members of the Fédération Française de Naturisme. You need to be affiliated with the FFN to pitch your tent or caravan here, this isn't a campsite open to everyone without prior steps.

Rates aren't published online, better to go through the association's email or phone number to find out the cost of stays and how to book. The campsite is open from June 30th to August 31st, a short season concentrated on summer.

Atmosphere on site
People who come to this campsite speak of a caring community, geared more toward families and regulars of association based naturism. You come here to settle in, enjoy the pool and the wooded grounds, not for entertainment or the latest facilities.

It's a place listed by the tourist offices of the Val de Sioule and the Allier, which gives an idea of how rooted it is locally. For FFN member naturists looking for a simple, quiet base in the area over summer, Nature et Amitié ticks the essential boxes: nature, pool and calm.
