Camping des Iles

Camping des Iles is located on the banks of the Rhône near Sion, in a shaded riverside setting that makes it a notably cool and peaceful retreat during the hot Valais summer, while still being close enough to the city for day visits to the Old Town and its hilltop castles. The site is a well-equipped campsite rather than a hotel, with traditional pitches for tents and motorhomes alongside a small number of glamping cabins for travellers who want a fixed roof without booking a hotel room. Facilities include clean shower blocks, a laundry, and cycle hire, the latter particularly useful given the flat, well-marked cycling routes that follow the Rhône through the valley. The riverside location and shade from mature trees make it a popular base for cyclists riding the Rhône Route and hikers using Sion as a starting point for trails into the surrounding hills and vineyards. Wifi is available across the site, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, geared toward outdoor-focused travellers on a budget rather than those seeking hotel-style service. In the evenings, the shaded pitches and communal areas take on a quiet, campfire-adjacent atmosphere typical of well-run European riverside campsites, and the proximity to Sion means guests can cycle into the city for dinner and ride back along the river path in the cool of the evening.
