Peaceful Lozère family campsite in the spectacular Gorges du Tarn
House of the Vultures 45 minutes’ drive; via ferrata half an hour
Breakfast service; snack bar; grocery and camping store; river beach

A stay at Camping Le Site de Castelbouc places you at the gates of Cévennes National Park, at the foot of the Grands Causses highlands and firmly in the Lozère region’s spectacular Gorges du Tarn. That's quite some setting for a camping holiday. This small, peaceful and family-centric campsite sits under a canopy of trees, so its pitches are partially shaded from the heat of the midsummer sun. There’s a private beach at the foot of the site, where you and the kids can safely take a dip in the Tarn river, or discover the dramatic landscapes of the gorge by kayak or canoe (you can hire them just by the river). Simple services on site cover the sale of bread and pastries every morning, as well as ice cream and drinks available from the snack bar all day long. You can stock up on life’s essentials, camping gear and regional products in the small on-site store, and keep everyone looking neat and smart thanks to coin-operated washing machines. Anything else you need, you’ll find in Sainte-Enimie (10 minutes’ drive) or Ispagnac (15 minutes). If you’re not sure about where to start your exploration of the area, check with the helpful bunch at reception (open daily 9am until 7pm).

Kamila J. Aug 2024

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: My partner and I recently spent six nights at this picturesque campsite, nestled among towering trees and just steps away from a crystal-clear river. The spacious pitches provided ample privacy, and we loved waking up to the sounds of nature.
There is a small reception area where you can purchase fresh bread and pastries (order for the next day) and some wonderful local produce.
One of the highlights of our stay was our kayaking excursion. We paddled down the river, surrounded by breathtaking gorges and lush greenery. The experience was both exhilarating and relaxing.
The campsite is family friendly and offers some activities for all ages, including table tennis and table football.
Even though we were near the reception area, we found the campsite to be peaceful and quiet, thanks to the respectful adherence to the evening curfew.
We were initially a bit concerned about the traffic mentioned in some reviews, but our fears were unfounded. The campsite's layout and the considerate behavior of visitors ensured a tranquil atmosphere.
We were also able to wake up early on a couple of days and spot a couple of beavers just before their bedtime!
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. A special shout-out to the wonderful lady who runs the food van (I wish I had gotten her name). Her delicious meals and affordable prices were a highlight of our trip.
Overall, we had an unforgettable experience at this campsite and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Disliked: Nothing.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: -Hundefreundlich
-Große, mit Büschen und Hecken abgegrenzte schattige Stellplätze.
-Ruhig
-Offener Campingplatz ohne Schranken
-Freundliches Personal
-Sehr gut ausgestattete Abwaschräume für Geschirr und Wäsche
-auf Vorbestellung frische Brötchen, Baguette und Croissant am Morgen

Disliked: Die Toiletten waren oft dreckig. Aber leider wegen der Rücksichtslosen Geste. Der Campingplatz putzt die Toiletten mehrmals täglich.
(Man benötigt eigenes Toilettenpapier)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihren Aufenthalt bei uns! Wir haben berücksichtigt, dass die Toiletten trotz aller Bemühungen und mehreren Reinigungen pro Tag manchmal schmutzig sein können. Wie Sie so treffend sagen, geht es um den mangelnden Respekt bestimmter Menschen. Ich freue mich darauf, Sie wiederzusehen !

Local attractions

There are many activities to keep you happy in the Gorges du Tarn, from via ferrata climbing courses on the steep cliffs to canyoning and rock climbing (all within half an hour’s drive). Brave souls can zipwire across the gorge from Cevennes Evasion Travel Nature (20 minutes), and cyclists who relish a challenge can hire bikes from Mellow Vélos (15 minutes’ cycle ride) to head off-road onto mountain tracks like the Le Saltadou (40 minutes) for spectacular gorge views. In less physically demanding pursuits, you can fish for brown trout, perch and pike on the Tarn, get (reasonably) up close to wild Przewalski horses at Takh – Association pour le Cheval Przewalski (half an hour’s drive), or watch raptors circle in the thermals from the House of the Vultures (45 minutes). For views over the Cevennes National Park (on a clear day you can glimpse the Alps and the Pyrenees), drive up to the Météosite du Mont Aigoual (an hour), where there are also interactive displays on the weather of the region.
