Labels and References Camping Isis in the Cevennes
Since its creation in 1975, we have promoted QUALITY TOURISM that respects natural resources, the environment and our guests.
3-star classification according to the new standards of our Ministry of Tourism
For your information, here are the compulsory criteria for 5-star campsites (top-of-the-range open-air hotels). Isis Campsite in the Cevennes is pleased to meet these criteria, but we are deliberately limiting ourselves to a 3-star rating, because nowadays, giving more space to nature, to the “wild”, to nature in general, is unfortunately sometimes perceived as negligence, and we don’t want to disappoint customers who still make this mistake.
“Wild grass isn’t dirty, it’s just a bit crazy”.
Let’s go back to the criteria for obtaining 5* from the atout France classification (official and national classification)
– The maximum number of pitches per hectare is 70. ok for Isis
– Reception is provided in 3 foreign languages, including English (si hablamos español muy bien, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Spaniards and Talians, who don’t often give us the opportunity to practise their languages…) Ok for Isis

– 5-star establishments must offer a certain number of optional services to their customers: swimming pool, relaxing massage, tennis, hairdresser (not really at Isis, but compensated by a beautician service and, if you want a haircut, we can also take care of that, no problem!), spa, fitness instructor (yes, on the mysterious island, a real adventurer’s course).

Cévennes Tourisme was a commercial showcase created in 2006 by our Chamber of Commerce for the whole of the Cevennes, and going beyond departmental borders, we supported it from the outset and promoted it as best we could, because we felt that this project was fantastic for the economy of our Cevennes. Congratulations again to our CCIs, it’s a shame they didn’t persevere, and long live this name taken up by the Alésienne gateway to the region.
