Set in a pinewood a kilometre from the fortress at Salses-le-Château
A 10-kilometre drive from the beach of Le Barcarè
Outdoor pool with seated space; café with spacious terrace

Hole up at Camping Le Bois de Pins to be within walking distance of a famed French fortress, half an hour's drive from Spain and from Mediterranean beaches – and in a handsome pine forest a few minutes from the fishing and shellfish farming of Salses/Leucate lake. Based about 10 kilometres from the sands of Le Barcarè, Le Bois de Pins is in a pinewood on a hillside in the Pyrénées-Orientales town of Salses-le-Château. The famed fortress nearby is the Fort de Salses, built by Spain towards the end of the 15th century and captured by the French 150 or so years later: its illustrious history can be investigated within a kilometre of the site (you can hire bikes from the Le Bois de Pins team). Le Bois de Pins is a mid-sized site 20 to 25 kilometres from the Cathar castles. It has an outdoor pool with seated space alongside (parasols included if you seek some shade from the summer sun); a pétanque court, a games room, a playground and table football. The café has a spacious terrace and a takeaway service; there's also a mini market selling a good variety of groceries.

Power optional cement/asphalt tent campsite

Liked: sehr kinderfreundlich - Hüpfburg und Spielplatz wurden gut angenommen. Nettes Personal, sehr hilfsbereit. Gute Lage und Anbindung. Sehr ruhig.

Disliked: Sanitäranlagen könnten gepflegter sein. Das wir den Ort nicht wieder besuchen werden liegt allein daran, dass die Region einfach viel zu stürmisch ist. Der starke Wind hat uns ganz schön zugesetzt.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback!
Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit unserem freundlichen Team, den kinderfreundlichen Einrichtungen sowie der ruhigen und gut angebundenen Lage unseres Campings zufrieden waren. Schön, dass sich die Kinder auf der Hüpfburg und dem Spielplatz wohlgefühlt haben!
Ihre Anmerkung zu den Sanitäranlagen nehmen wir ernst – Sauberkeit und Komfort haben bei uns oberste Priorität, und Ihre Rückmeldung hilft uns, uns weiter zu verbessern.
Was den Wind betrifft, verstehen wir gut, dass dieser Ihren Aufenthalt beeinträchtigt hat. Leider haben wir auf das Wetter keinen Einfluss – der starke Tramontane-Wind gehört allerdings zur typischen Natur unserer schönen südfranzösischen Region.
Wir danken Ihnen nochmals für Ihren Besuch.

Liked: Friendly lady who greeted us. Clean toilet block.
Swimming pool area was nice.

Disliked: Nowhere to hang anything in the showers. The showers were cold in the mornings and no hot water.
Entrance is a bit tight for larger vans.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback Laura.
We're glad you enjoyed the friendly welcome, the clean facilities, and the swimming pool area.

We’ve taken note of your comments about the showers — we’ve since added hooks to improve comfort, and we’re looking into the hot water issue in the mornings.
Regarding the entrance, we understand it can feel narrow for larger vans due to the natural layout of the site, and we appreciate your understanding.

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon!

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Right off the autoroute so makes for great stopover if travelling between France and Spain. Lovely little site with 2 pools which stay open until 8pm, which is perfect after a long, hot drive to get there! The hosts were amazing, checking us in/managing arrivals and then working the bar and restaurant. Both food and drink very reasonable with a lovely atmosphere in the evening and a live guitarist. Impeccably clean shower/toilet block facilities.

Local attractions

Fort de Salses, within easy ambling or cycling distance, is pretty well known in these parts, seeing about 100,000 visitors a year. Its striking setting is def worth a visit: wander around under your own steam or book a guided tour in French, English, German, Spanish or Catalan. More history can be had at the department capital of Perpignan (20 kilometres), or at the Cathar castles of Château de Quéribus and Château de Peyrepertuse, 20 and 25 kilometres away. Even more anciently, a drive of 40 kilometres will take you to a delve around the Gorges of Galamus, a protected area carved out among the Fenouillèdes massif's limestone cliffs. Watersports are a popular pastime too for Le Bois de Pins guests, either from the beaches of Port Barcarès, Leucate and Franqui 10 to 15 or so kilometres away, or at the Salses/Leucate lake within about four kilometres. For splashing watery days, Aqualand is 30 kilometres from the site; for fully adrenalised ones, you can tackle canyoning at the Galamus gorges between April and September.
