  • Family-friendly site surrounded by woodland and hot springs
  • Around half an hour's drive from Super Besse ski destination
  • Outdoor pool, pétanque court and playground, 700 metres from Tauves
What an excellent setting has Camping de Tauves: right in the middle of France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes volcanic region, it’s surrounded by woodland, open fields and the region's famed volcanic hot springs. It's 700 metres from the nearest village, Tauves, from the site, in a land of farmers' markets, volcanic hot springs and scenic settlements such as Orcival, La Bourboule, Murol and Clermont-Ferrand. Mountain biking, hiking, cycling, horse riding, skiing and snowboarding are all popular local pursuits, as well as canoeing and fishing if you’re after something water-based. When you’re all tuckered out after doing some or all of the above – or if you simply fancy a good and proper pampering – nearby La Bourboule also has an excellent aqua centre where you can take a dip among its Turkish baths and settle back for one of many relaxing spa treatments; if you’re taking tiddlers, then it’s also a smashing spot for a swim and an afternoon picnic. Back at base, more water-based time can be had around the outdoor pool; out of the water, a pétanque court is on hand for laid-back bouts of family competition, and there's a playground for kids to bound about at. For supplies of food and other sorts off site, a convenience store lies a short way down the road at Tauves.

Liked La facilité d’accès en plein village et l’accueil sympathique et rapide. Comme nous étions avec des amis nous nous sommes posés comme nous voulions avec deux emplacements sans gêner les autres campeurs ! La piscine un peu fraîche … et les installations propres !

Electric grass pitch

Liked A friendly campsite in a pretty area of France. We stayed for 3 nights with 3 children aged under 10. The pitches were a good size and quite level. The site is situated on the edge of a small town so it was easy to walk to a corner shop or bakery. The pool area was nice. On the site there was lots of space for children to play and run around. The facilities were clean.

Disliked There was only one British / standard toilet in the Women’s and one in the Men’s. The other toilets were all French style hole in the floor. Also the facilities looked and felt a bit dated, and tired.

Liked Nous avons aimez le cadre et le village ainsi que la propreté du camping.

Disliked Les bornes électriques sur les emplacements avec électricité ce trouve tout les deux emplacement. Étant donné que l'on paye il devrait y en avoir sur tout les emplacements vendus avec électricité.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Shaded pitch, good shower and washing up facilities. Kids liked the table tennis. Nice to have fresh croissants and bread to preorder and cold drinks to purchase in the shop. Nice pool although very crowded.

Disliked Pitches were quite small and close together. All but one of the female toilets are squatters so there was a bit of a queue! There was a fete on our first night with loud music till 2am. We would have appreciated being informed of this in advance.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We received a very warm welcome. Allocated a larger pitch due to the size of our caravan to make sure we had a great stay. We ordered bread/pastries each day. If you walk around the campsite there’s something for everyone to have a great holiday - The swimming pool was perfect for adults & kids. You can walk into town within 5-10 minutes. We’ll certainly stay again & recommend to anyone thinking of staying 😄

Local attractions

Pampering treatments among the swish hot spring spas in La Bourboule should be one of the first holiday boxes you set out to tick around here. If you’re with littlies who mightn’t yet appreciate the finer things in life, then swirls on carousels and testing miniature-golf skills over at the town’s Parc Fenestre might be a better option instead – as might whisking them off to the volcano-themed interactive exhibitions, games and activities of Vulcania amusement park, 40 minutes away. To delve into French history and culture, have a wander around historic settlements like Orcival, La Bourboule and Clermont-Ferrand to see churches, basilicas and museums, or head to Murol for its wooded park and museum of impressionist art. If you’re also an active sort, combine this last with a visit to Chambon lake for swimming, canoeing and pedal boating, and top it all off with local cuisine at one of several lakeside restaurants. Highly scenic landscapes to walk and cycle among are around too, including routes up to the peaks of Puy de Sancy and Mont-Dore, both within an hour. In winter, skiers can make for the slopes of Super Besse ski station, just over half an hour’s drive away.
