  • Quiet family campsite 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Pézenas
  • Plage Richelieu a half-hour’s drive; Château de Flaugergues 45 minutes
  • Regional restaurant and takeaway service; swimming pool and games room
How about a family sojourn in the middle of Languedoc wine country? And on a campsite with an acclaimed restaurant serving up local specialities too? Camping Saint Christol comes up trumps in both cases, set in leafy surrounds 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Pézenas in the scenic Languedoc-Roussillon. Proprietor Jean-Marie Bel and his team welcome you to this family-friendly campsite, which has lots of peaceful nooks and crannies shaded by trees. During the day, life revolves around the outdoor pool and sundeck, although there’s a TV room and games room with ping-pong tables and arcade games for any teens wanting to hang out together away from mum and dad. There’s certainly no need to worry about catering for the family. A morning bread service provides fresh bread and pastries for breakfast and the restaurant has a varied menu of regional dishes – think vast planchas of seafood paella, beef bourguignon and apple tart – and you can get frites as a takeaway for the kids. In high season, a schedule of evening entertainment kicks off too. Should you want a change of scenery, hotfoot it to Pézenas to wander its pedestrianised old town packed with artisan shops, or hit some Languedoc vineyards for tours and tastings (several within 25 minutes’ drive).

What customers say

Charming rustic site, great location near Pezenas. Friendly staff, relaxed vibe, great restaurant food, flamboyant owner! Downsides: facilities need a spruce up – cleanliness issues, lack of hot water reported. Some find it fine, others say it's dated.

Ilona M.

Power optional grass and earth site (three person)

Liked Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le calme et l’ambiance dépaysante du camping. L’accès à l’eau et à l’électricité à proximité a été un vrai plus. La piscine, bien entretenue et propre, nous a permis de passer d’agréables moments de détente. Nous avons également aimé la situation géographique : proche du charmant village de Pézenas, riche en découvertes, et non loin de la mer.

Disliked Le camping manquerait peut-être d'une petite rénovation, et d'un meilleur entretien des sanitaires.

Tiago R.

Power optional grass and earth site (three person)

Liked Close to a beautiful village. Quirky and full of character. Decent sizes pitches, separated by hedges. Perfect as a parking space for a motorhome.

Disliked It's an old campsite that is a little run down. Fine for what we needed but I'd avoid it on peak season.

Local attractions

Kids may clamour to visit the seaside, so humour them and take them for a dip in the Mediterranean at sandy Plage Richelieu (half an hour’s drive), before heading to the lazy river at Pirate Cove (25 minutes) or the inflatable climbing courses at Aquapark Cap d’Agde (half an hour). Treat yourself to a Jacuzzi at futuristic Archipel la Cité de l'Eau Centre Aquatique et Spa (25 minutes), while the kids splash around in the (supervised) pools. Pézenas (10 minutes’ walk) rewards a day exploring its mellow-stone medieval streets lined with grand mansions like the ornately vaulted 15th-century Hôtel de Lacoste, open for art exhibitions. Admire the masterly paintings and antique furniture at the Musée de Vulliod Saint-Germain, or have a look at the model boats and trains in the Musée International du Jouet. For more regional culture, see the priceless Flemish tapestries and decorative arts displayed at landmark Château de Flaugergues (45 minutes’ drive), amble around the formal gardens and take a tour of the winery.
