  • Quiet family campsite with views to Château de Tournoël in Auvergne
  • Volvic 10 minutes’ walk; Vulcania theme park 20 minutes’ drive
  • Snack bar, games room, sports courts and high-season entertainment
The destination for your next camping holiday in Auvergne, land of volcanoes and lakes? It could well be Camping Pierre et Sources, with its spectacular setting five minutes’ drive from the Auvergne Volcanoes Natural Regional Park. It’s also 10 minutes’ stroll from historic Volvic, with views across to hilltop Château de Tournoël from the pitches. Along with the views, there’s plenty to keep everybody happy on site, including a library of books and games, ping-pong and table football in the games room and two play areas with games for young children. You can make new friends by challenging fellow guests to a game of badminton or pétanque… And there’s more, with all sorts of fabulously family-friendly fun involving balloons and games laid on in July and August during the school holidays, as well as concerts, treasure hunts and creative workshops. When it comes to food, you can pick up essentials for grilling on the communal barbecue from the grocery store, but if alfresco cooking is not your forté, have a wander into Volvic to stake out its pizzerias, wine bars and restaurants. Start the day right by ordering in bread and pastries, or eat breakfast on the sun terrace outside reception (there’s a charge for both services, please reserve the day before). The kids will no doubt be happy all day with a steady stream of ice creams and drinks from the snack bar – and in fact, reception is your one-stop source for the loan of easily forgotten stuff like plug adaptors, irons and sun shades.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Very little, se below.

Disliked: Noisy site with dreadful access and registration procedure. Vans and campers blocking the entrance and queuing in the road. Nice young lady behind the desk but the system is crap. as are the facilities, with overflowing rubbish bins, sticking toilets doors, and failed lighted in small dark cubicles. Stayed in a lot better for much less money, OnlyCamp is off the list.

Local attractions

Hikers, the Puy-de-Dôme region is ready and waiting for you with myriad family walks or stiffer challenges for the more experienced on more than 2,400 miles-worth of way-marked trails. They can lead to the video exhibitions in Grotte de la Pierre de Volvic (15 minutes’ walk), source of the famed mineral water, or the scenic crater of Puy de Pariou (roughly three hours’ walk). From Volvic (10 minutes’ walk), the looped GR 441 takes in various volcanoes and heads up to Lake Servières (a seven-hour hike or 45 minutes by car). Alternatively, take the strain off your feet and catch the Panoramique des Dômes rack train (20 minutes’ drive) up to the summit of Puy de Dôme volcano for views across the Auvergne Volcanoes Natural Regional Park. Learn all about volcanoes from the interactive exhibits and workshops at Vulcania theme park (20 minutes), and see one close up at Volcan de Lemptégy (15 minutes), where you explore inside the crater on foot and watch 4D films on the origin of the volcanic Auvergne region.
