from 73 reviews Write review

Katia and Bruno run the small-scale Camping Du Pont de Braye with attention for their customers and for nature. This eco campsite is situated on the Chapeauroux river, at the bottom of the mountainous landscape of Languedoc-Roussillion. You camp on spacious lawns between forests and mountains. You can also choose to stay in an ecolodge or a yurt, a traditional nomad tent.

idyllic spot

Hidden between forests and mountains, next to flowing water: Camping Du Pont de Braye is situated in an idyllic spot. The campsite is not particularly large, but because of its open character it still gives you a spacious feeling. On grass lawns there is room for about twenty-five touring pitches. In the middle of the elongated terrain there is a row of tall trees, which create shady spots. However, most of the touring pitches are sunny.

Special rental accommodations

Not only touring campers can visit the campsite. You can also stay there in one of the ten rental accommodations. The yurts are particularly special. These round tents were originally used by nomads in Central Asia. The yurts on the campsite are richly decorated, with beautiful paintings and a colourful interior.

Simple nature camping

‘Camping as camping is meant to be': a statement that does hold true for this campsite. No fuss, no luxury swimming paradise or disco; just camping in nature. The amenities on the campsite are quite basic. There is no supermarket, but you can get an ice cream or snack on the patio near the main building. All sanitary facilities, such as a toilet for the disabled and a baby room, are available though somewhat dated.

€19 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Detail information about this campsite

Inspected annually

"It is wonderful to camp on the banks of the Chapeauroux, a sometimes turbulent river in La Margueride. Very quiet roads lead to this remote, but easily accessible place. You will be welcomed by a very enthusiastic and helpful owner."

Liked - River close by, nice walks locally
Disliked - Some more restaurant options in villages nearby would have been nice, all roads seemed to lead to Langogne

Travelling party: Seniors

Liked - Very friendly hosts who helped out with extra cable at no cost. Picturesque site, calm and peaceful in June. Area was full of great countryside and there was plenty of locations to visit. Recycling facilities excellent.
Disliked - Flies but we were on riverside! Water is precious but it took a while to get hot so it was quite wasteful. Amenities may be stretched in high season but great in June. Pizza and chips were delicious but menu was limited otherwise.
