Les Terrasses du Viaur

No availability at present on Pitchup.com 8.3 7 reviews

Peaceful, family-friendly site in southern France’s Tarn department
Rent canoes or swim in the river Viaur; hiking trails start on site
Kids' playground, pool and snack bar with themed evenings all on site

For stays heavy on watersports, plonk yourself down in the forest next to the river Viaur at Les Terrasses du Viaur, just outside Pampelonne and near the border with Aveyron. Where better to start your Tarn area adventures than at the Viaur itself? The site rents out canoes for explores on the water, or you can ditch the boats altogether and go straight in for a dip. If you can’t pluck up the courage for that, the riverbank is also a gorgeous spot to chill out for the day or to try your luck with some fishing. If you do fancy a splash, but you prefer to do it in the comfort of a pool, there’s one of those on site, too, as well as a playground for the nippers. When the watery action dries up, it’s time to delve into the Viaur valley. You don’t have to go far to get started; a bunch of hiking trails leave directly from the site and you can grab a map of the routes from reception on your way out to help with the navigating. For your meals, head to the campsite snack bar which offers homemade pizza, fries, local charcuterie (every day except Monday) and cocktails. If you plan to stay on the campsite after dark, theme evenings are organised. The site is stacked with handy stuff like free wifi for planning explores and a launderette to freshen up your gear post-hike, along with showers, toilets and a washing-up area.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Lovely, peaceful and natural site. Nice clean hot showers. Ate in restaurant twice and the food was good. Locals also ate nightly in the restaurant. The family who run the site were pleasant and friendly.

Disliked: My husband found it a bit hair raising driving down the bends to the site towing a caravan but said it was well worth it

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: The location and gorge are beautiful. Pitches are generous size and shaded. Facilities were clean.

Disliked: We didn't end up staying as we were so disappointed with the facilities when we arrived. The description is not accurate. The swimming pool is so small that not even our whole family could have fitted (approx. 3m x 2m). The river beach is paddling only not deep enough to swim and the water wasn't flowing so not as clear as other parts of the river where we have swam. Also the beach was used by dog owners and messy.

The owners still took £80 from us - despite that we only booked the day before and they had lots of empty pitches.

From the manager: Good morning,
to respond to your review.
our swimming pool is 6m/3m it is not an Olympic swimming pool but I assure you that even several families can enjoy it.
For the beach by the river in front of the campsite, it is not private and therefore open from 9 am to 10 pm to local people.
there are large swimming areas in the river 20m from the campsite, you didn't take the time to discover them, that's a shame!
for the color of the river it is an untreated natural space, so indeed the water is not translucent, it is the viaur...
finally our campsite has cancellation conditions like everyone else.
for a cancellation at least 7 days before arrival, the entire stay is not refunded.
I did not apply my conditions and I think I have refunded you sir more than half of the total amount of your stay.
Having free places does not justify the non-reimbursement of part of the stay.
Too bad you didn't take the time to find out more about us.

Local attractions

There are plenty of hiking trails within easy reach of the site, but if you fancy a change of scenery for your strolls, head further afield for wanders around the Cascade Pétrifiante waterfall or tours of the Grotte du Bosc cave – both are around an hour’s drive away. Take your explores inside and brush up on some history with a visit to a couple of nearby museums. Don your hard hat at the coal mining museum Musée-mine départemental, or get your creative juices flowing at the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec art museum (both half an hour). Continue the historical theme with a visit to the medieval Château de Belcastel (50 minutes) or the 15th-century Monastery of Chartreuse St Sauveur (55 minutes). Go down the cathedrals route instead with glimpses of Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Drèche (25 minutes) and Cathedral Basilica of Saint Cecilia (half an hour). For family days, Le Jardin des Bêtes amusement park and the insect adventure park Micropolis Cité des Insectes can both be reached in an hour.
