  • Small, relaxed site in scenic setting next to vineyards and forest
  • Table d'hote and barbecues in the orchard; evenings around the firepit
  • Pétanque competitions and resident donkeys on site
Open since early 2017, Domaine Le Poteau in the Gers department is a small, scenic and eco-friendly site. The friendly hosts are Matt and Kim, two avid travellers who have a real passion for what they do. The couple hosts dinner evenings in the orchard a couple of times a week, so you should feel right at home. As it's France, you may care to check out the local produce – easily sorted here too as Le Poteau is next to an Armagnac vineyard, and close to the wine-producing district of Côtes de Gascogne. And as it's France, you may then need to burn some gastronomic calories off… also a cinch, as the Midi-Pyrénées has around 30,000 kilometres of footpaths to tackle including loads of local routes. Domaine Le Poteau is a short walk from the medieval village of Castelnau-d'Auzan, on a hillside and in a wildlife haven, with well-maintained grounds and plenty of shaded spots. Its facilities include communal firepits and a play area – and you must tackle games of pétanque while here, as the site's weekly competition offers 'disappointing and mildly insulting' prizes for the victorious: obviously you should go all out to win.

Liked Super vriendelijke eigenaars. Jong engels stelletje dat alles goed willen doen voor de gasten. Willen met alles helpen. Zonder opdringerig te worden. Supermooi klein camping. Charme van oude boederij. Maar alles superschoon en goed bij gehouden. Locale wijn en floc proeven met eigenaar. Super goede tips over eet night markets. Komen zeker nog terug. Leuke stek om de kleine dorpjes te bezoeken

Liked Warm welcome and shown around the site. We were offered a choice of pitches and when settled were given a complimentry welcome drink. The hosts were obviously loving what they do and came across very friendly and could not do enough to make sure we had a good stay.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Best hosts at any campsite we've stayed at. Matt & Kim have hit a really good balance at Le Poteau. If you're looking for luxury and every service imaginable then this is NOT the site for you. M&K are deliberately keeping the site rustic and simple with spotless toilets/showers. It is a quiet relaxing site. Their emphasis is on friendly helpfulness. The pitches are allocated but not regimented with plenty of shade. There are a few free range chickens roaming the site to add to the rustic feel. Bakery and small supermarket at nearest village, Castelnau (10 mins cycling). Plenty of easy cycling from campsite.

Disliked Nothing (except Voie Vert cycling route to the north of site is badly maintained and not worth trying, the quiet roads are a better choice).

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Everything! We feel this is the best campsite we’ve ever stayed on in Europe or UK .,very beautiful, peaceful , well kept and fabulous hosts in Kim and Matt . It is set in Gers, a beautiful region of vineyards and excellent for active holidays, cycling and walking . We were greeted on arrival with a chilled glass of wine and Matt and Kim were helpful from the start . We wished we had booked a longer stay . Everything is beautifully kept and very clean , not a big site but very comfortable

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Local attractions

It's about a kilometre from here to Castelnau-d'Auzan on the edge of Landes forest, among hiking, cycling and mountain bike trails, and within easy reach of a three-hectare lake for fishing and boating. The village is surrounded by vineyards if you're up for investigating the local vino; call into the tourist office for info, or ask Fiona and Alasdair for their tips on local tours. For sightseeing days, the medieval town (and Armagnac producers) of Condom can be reached in about 30 minutes, and department capital Auch in just over an hour. Closer to home, the handsome town of Montréal or Montréal-du-Gers is within 15 minutes. Other options for days out include Guinlet golf course, about 10 minutes' drive away, races and a driving school at Circuit Paul Armagnac in Nogoro (35 minutes), or the swimming and adventure park at Lac d'Aignan and boat tours and châteaux in Nérac, all within 40-45 minutes.
