Occitanie brings together two former French regions to make up the country's second-largest region, packing in plenty of variety. There's the coastal Languedoc-Roussillon, which curls around the southwest shore of the Mediterranean and affords some 125 miles (200 kilometres) of beaches, Cathar castles, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Inland, the landlocked Midi-Pyrénées stretches down from the Dordogne to the Pyrénées mountains along the Spanish border. Throw in some of France's sunniest cities—Toulouse, Montpellier, and Perpignan—and you've got road trip heaven. As for camping, there's everything from beachfront campgrounds and riverside getaways to mountain chalets.

Occitanie · 8 units

Nestled in the hollow of the Luech river, the campsite is located on the outskirts of the village of Peyremale, which has retained all the cachet of a picturesque, typically Cévennes promontory. In this place of nature you will find remains of the old water mill which now hosts the reception. The landscape is marked by the rich historical past of the Cévennes with its agricultural terraces. The camp is located on a large meadow, at the time fitted out for the exploitation of coal but which has never been used, linked to the end of the mining period. Before welcoming you, this meadow was used for grazing sheep!!! Looking forward to welcoming you for a sunny summer!!

Camp La Mafresié

3. Camp La Mafresié

Laparrouquial, Occitanie · 1 unit

Come and stay in your own private camp site! Your luxury 6 metre bell tent sits in its own secluded field with a lovely view onto a rolling meadow. The valley is home to a wide variety of birds and butterflies, and deer come to drink at the spring in the meadow. Night skies are free of pollution, perfect for stargazing. It is a very tranquil special place, ideal for those wanting to get away from it all and be immersed in nature, and where children can explore freely. There is an 11-metre swimming pool at our home for you to enjoy, again with lovely views! Your comfortably furnished bell tent has a double and two or three single beds as required, made up with crisp linens and blankets for cooler nights. A cot is also available. Solar lighting and floor cushions create a cosy atmosphere, and there are board games for kids. A mosquito net runs all around the tent to allow for ventilation and to keep bugs out. Next to the tent is a charming outdoor kitchen, complete with bottle gas stove and utensils for cooking, and a wooden picnic table for dining. A barbeque and fridge are also available at the camping station, just three minutes’ walk down the lane. Here you will find your private bathroom, complete with towels and toiletries. There is also a sink for washing up with a lovely view over the meadow. There are good walks from the campsite and really spectacular walking a bit further afield in the Averyon Gorge. Bike hire and horse riding are available nearby. In Laguepie, just 10 minutes drive, there is surveilled river swimming, and lively restaurants and bars for dining. Half an hour's drive away is the pretty town of St Antonin, with kayaking down the Averyron Gorge, as well as a fantastic Sunday market. The area is rich in culture with the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel just 10 minutes drive, and the city of Albi with its spectacular cathedral, a Unesco site, just 40 mins away. Albi is also home to the Toulouse Lautrec Museum, good restaurants and shopping. The Gaillac vineyards are a short drive and offer wine tastings and evening concerts. Summer is the time for festivals here, and there is always some entertainment taking place in one of the nearby villages. The bell tent is available June, July and August for a minimum of 2 nights.

Occitanie camping guide

Where to go

North Midi-Pyrénées

Some of Occitanie's most enchanting scenery sits in the northern Midi-Pyrénées' departments of Lot, Aveyron, and Tarn-et-Garonne. The dramatic river canyons, wooded valleys, and verdant hills of the Lot Valley harbour gems like the cliff-top village of Rocamadour and the Gouffre de Padirac caves, while Tarn-et-Garonne is home to bastide towns like Montauban and Beaumont-de-Lomagne. Not to be outshined, Aveyron has more of the 'most beautiful villages of France' than any other department.

Central Midi-Pyrénées

From the rolling countryside of the Gers department in the west to the historic towns of Cordes sur Ciel and Albi in the Tarn department, there's lots to explore the central Occitanie. The "pink city" of Toulouse is the headline act of the Haute-Garonne department, which extends down through the Pyrénées mountains to the border of Spain, and the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park affords some of the region's best hiking and camping.

Haute-Pyrénées & Ariège

Tumbling down to the Spanish border, the wild landscapes of the Pyrenees National Park are the highlight of the southern Hautes-Pyrénées department for hikers and campers. Don't miss a visit to the pilgrimage town of Lourdes along the way, revered for its "healing" waters. Further east, the mountainous Ariège department is home to the Pyrenees-Ariegoises Regional Natural Park.

North Languedoc

The (mostly) coastal strip of Occitanie is the former Languedoc-Roussillon region, where history buffs and sun-seekers will be equally satisfied. Montpellier is the region's biggest hub, hemmed in by the Languedoc vineyards and glorious sandy beaches of Herault. Further up the coast, the Gard department is known for its Roman ruins and the Camargue National Park, while inland, the Lozere department offers outdoor activities at Cévennes National Park and the Tarn Gorge.

South Languedoc

The southern Aude and Pyrenees Orientales departments complete the Languedoc's Mediterranean coastline. There's great coastal camping around Narbonne, but history enthusiasts will want to head inland to discover the medieval city of Carcassonne or follow the Cathar Castle trail. Further south, the Pyrenees mountains meet the coast around Perpignan, providing plenty of choice for hiking and camping.
