Is the water clean at La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou?
La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season — the highest official classification under the EU bathing-water assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Sports facilities and Benches. You can park about ~1.1 km away.
Over the 7 classified seasons on record, 4 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Excellent for 2 straight years. Saint-Laurent-les-Bains — the closest town — sits about ~1.1 km from here.
Worth remembering: “Excellent” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Ardèche.

Is the sea warm at La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou today?
That's placeholder data, not a live measurement: La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou's marine-weather feed couldn't be reached, so the panel above is showing an estimated ~27°C until the real feed comes back. That's the reading right off Ardèche.
What's the best month to visit La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou for swimming?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Ardèche.
What does the water quality rating actually measure?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; La Borne Au Camping Le Ceytrou doesn't have that feed yet.
