This peaceful, well-kept site offers spacious, private, shaded pitches with great views. Owners are friendly, and the location is convenient. Facilities are clean, though sometimes limited. Note potential for insect bites, limited entertainment, and minor WiFi/waste disposal issues.

If I was passing that way again. I’d stay again.
Powered grass campsite
Liked The location was lovely, the town of Saissac in walking distance and the chateau history was interesting. A free bus ride to Carcassonne is a must. Be aware the last bus home is at 18:10.
The campground is geared to nature, being mindful of water usage. The facilities were all good. Laundry and dishwashing area is perfect for your needs. Toilets - make sure you bring your own loo paper. Showers do the job. You have to keep pushing the on button. But this saves on water. The shower & toilet block shut from 11pm for cleaning and for the night apart from 2 toilets and a wash basin.
The views were amazing from the camp and the ruins of the chateau.
A short 5 minute walk out of camp brings you to a grocery shop. It has everything you need. Next to that is a butcher. He shuts at midday. Get there early because the queues are long.
Stéphanie and Jean-Louis work very hard. Their philosophy of nature conservation shows around the campground.
Disliked Nothing really.

Liked While site was lovely and well kept. Hosts were also very nice. Showers were clean and hot. It was nice and quiet at night too. The pool was inviting but cold 🥶. WiFi at the bar. Although we didn’t have children there were plenty of activities for them.

Powered grass campsite
Liked The views were great. The pitch sizes were good and even had choices of sun and shade. Facilities were good, with plenty of hot water showered and toilets were clean but you need your own toilet roll. The owners very friendly and even gave me a cork screw as I had forgotten to pack mine. Wi-Fi free at the site but only by the bar area and reception
Disliked We were unfortunate to have mixed weather there so we did experience rain
