  • Peaceful Lozère family campsite in the spectacular Gorges du Tarn
  • House of the Vultures 45 minutes’ drive; via ferrata half an hour
  • Breakfast service; snack bar; grocery and camping store; river beach
A stay at Camping Le Site de Castelbouc places you at the gates of Cévennes National Park, at the foot of the Grands Causses highlands and firmly in the Lozère region’s spectacular Gorges du Tarn. That's quite some setting for a camping holiday. This small, peaceful and family-centric campsite sits under a canopy of trees, so its pitches are partially shaded from the heat of the midsummer sun. There’s a private beach at the foot of the site, where you and the kids can safely take a dip in the Tarn river, or discover the dramatic landscapes of the gorge by kayak or canoe (you can hire them just by the river). Simple services on site cover the sale of bread and pastries every morning, as well as ice cream and drinks available from the snack bar all day long. You can stock up on life’s essentials, camping gear and regional products in the small on-site store, and keep everyone looking neat and smart thanks to coin-operated washing machines. Anything else you need, you’ll find in Sainte-Enimie (10 minutes’ drive) or Ispagnac (15 minutes). If you’re not sure about where to start your exploration of the area, check with the helpful bunch at reception (open daily 9am until 7pm).

What customers say

This campsite offers a stunning riverside location with spacious pitches and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests praised the friendly and helpful staff, clean sanitary blocks with hot water, and the convenience of ordering fresh bread. Activities like canoeing are popular. Some minor points were raised regarding mixed-sex toilet facilities, the distance to supermarkets, and the availability of electrical hook-ups. The site's natural setting is a significant draw, with opportunities for wildlife spotting and beautiful walks.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Loved everything. Location. Pitch. Employees. We had originally booked for 6 nights but very quickly increased this and added 2 extra nights on. The pitch sizes are great and allow plenty of room. The sanitary block is clean and tidy. With hot water for showers and sink area there is a separate washing facility next door to the toilet for washing pots and clothes. A washing machine and dryer is available to use with tokens purchased from reception. Bread - croissants, baguettes, pain au chocolates can be ordered each day and delivered to reception obviously we ate a lot of these. You can also buy a coffee or a gas canister from there too.
Location was 15mins from the historical Ispagnac and Ste Etimme both really beautiful with fantastic restaurants and shops. Staff were amazing and hard working to keep the site clean tidy and guests happy. They were really happy to help you and also respond to our use of French. You can hire canoes/kayaks to really make the most of the river.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. It’s on our list of must come again but for longer next time

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour Monsieur.
Nous prenons note de votre retour, bien que nous soyons profondément surpris par la sévérité et l'inexactitude de vos propos.
Nos infrastructures respectent scrupuleusement toutes les normes d'hygiène en vigueur et font l'objet de contrôles réguliers ; le terme « insalubre » est donc totalement infondé et diffamatoire. De plus, c'est moi la gérante qui effectue le ménage en cette saison et je sais que je fais bien mon travail. D'ailleurs nos clients nous félicitent pour la propreté des lieux en général ! Nous aurions préféré échanger de vive voix avec vous sur la qualité de nos services au moment de votre départ. De plus, vous avez omis de vous acquitter de votre taxe de séjour réglementaire....
Notre camping s'efforce de proposer des tarifs très abordables (20 € la nuit pour 2 personnes) pour permettre à chacun de profiter du plein air, mais cela exige un respect mutuel des règles et du travail de nos équipes.
Nous laissons nos futurs clients juger de la réalité de nos prestations à travers l'ensemble des autres avis de notre page.

Liked Beautiful location, very peaceful. Area to clean dishes was great, good hot water.

Disliked Toilets and showers overrun with spiders, could not use them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your feedback! 🌿 We’re really happy that you enjoyed the peaceful location and our dishwashing area — and especially that you appreciated the hot water!

We’re sorry to hear that the presence of little spiders made your stay less comfortable. In a campsite setting, the sanitary blocks are open to nature, so it can sometimes happen that small insects find their way inside despite our regular cleaning and maintenance. 🕷️✨

We’ll continue to do our best to keep the facilities as pleasant as possible — and we hope to welcome you again for another relaxing stay in nature!

A great stay, very clean facilities and helpful staff

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire ! 😊
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le camping, notre équipe et la praticité du frigo juste à côté de votre emplacement — c’est un vrai plaisir de lire ça !

Nous comprenons que les sanitaires et espaces partagés ne soient pas ce que tout le monde préfère, mais cela fait aussi partie de l’esprit du camping : la simplicité, la convivialité et le contact avec la nature 💚

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un séjour détente au bord de la rivière ! 🌞

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 🌿
We’re really happy that you enjoyed the campsite, our team, and the convenience of having a fridge right next to your pitch — that’s great to hear!

We understand that shared washing and toilet facilities aren’t everyone’s favorite part of camping, but they’re part of the authentic outdoor experience that lets us keep that friendly, community atmosphere we love so much. 💚

We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay by the river! 🌞

Liked De locatie is geweldig. De omgeving aan de Tarn is prachtig en vanuit de camping konden we kajakken en verschillende mooie wandelingen doen. Ik wil zeker vaker terugkomen.

Disliked De supermarkt is ongeveer 25 minuten met de auto rijden, maar tegenover alle voordelen van het verblijf was dit eigenlijk niet echt een probleem (we konden namelijk een koelkast huren, zodat we maar een keer een grote boodschap hoefde te doen)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour ! 🌿
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez autant apprécié notre belle région au bord du Tarn, les balades et les sorties en canoë — c’est exactement l’esprit du camping que nous aimons partager 💚

C’est vrai que le supermarché le plus proche demande un petit trajet, mais comme vous le dites si bien, avec un frigo sur place, on s’organise facilement pour profiter à fond du séjour sans se soucier des courses ! 😉

Ce sera un vrai plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour d’autres moments de détente et d’aventure au bord de la rivière ! 🌞

Hartelijk dank voor je mooie review! 🌿
We zijn heel blij dat je zo hebt genoten van onze prachtige omgeving aan de Tarn, van het kanoën en de mooie wandelingen — dat is precies de sfeer die we graag delen 💚

Het klopt dat de dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt een stukje rijden is, maar zoals je zelf zegt, met een koelkast op de camping is dat gelukkig makkelijk op te lossen, zodat je volop kunt genieten van je verblijf 😉

We kijken ernaar uit je binnenkort weer te mogen verwelkomen voor nog meer ontspanning en avontuur aan de rivier! 🌞

Liked Le site et le calme

Disliked Pas de papier aux toilettes, mais l'exigence d'utiliser un papier approprié...
je trouve cela assez contradictoire.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! 😊
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le calme et le cadre du camping — c’est un vrai plaisir de savoir que vous avez passé un moment paisible chez nous. 💚

Concernant le papier toilette, c’est effectivement un choix volontaire : en tant que camping 2 étoiles, nous ne fournissons pas le papier dans les sanitaires.
Et petite précision 😉 : il n’y a pas de papier “spécifique” à utiliser — il est simplement demandé de ne rien jeter d’autre que du papier toilette dans les WC, pour préserver le bon fonctionnement des installations. 🌿

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un prochain séjour nature et détente ! 🌞

Liked This is a very well maintained site that makes good use of the river frontage. The toilet and shower block was very clean.

Disliked I am not a fan of mixed shower and toilet facilities.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌿
We’re delighted that you enjoyed the campsite, especially its riverside setting and the cleanliness of our facilities — that means a lot to us! 💚

We understand that mixed shower and toilet areas aren’t everyone’s favorite, but it’s quite common in French campsites, especially family-sized ones like ours. It helps us make the best use of space while keeping everything clean and accessible for all our guests. 🚿🇫🇷

We’d be very happy to welcome you again for another relaxing stay by the river! 🌞

Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe avis ! 🌿
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le camping, en particulier son emplacement au bord de la rivière et la propreté de nos installations — cela nous fait très plaisir ! 💚

Nous comprenons que les sanitaires mixtes ne soient pas au goût de tout le monde, mais c’est assez courant dans les campings en France, surtout dans les campings familiaux comme le nôtre. Cela nous permet d’optimiser l’espace tout en gardant les lieux propres et accessibles pour tous nos campeurs. 🚿🇫🇷

Nous serions très heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un autre séjour détente au bord de la rivière !

Local attractions

There are many activities to keep you happy in the Gorges du Tarn, from via ferrata climbing courses on the steep cliffs to canyoning and rock climbing (all within half an hour’s drive). Brave souls can zipwire across the gorge from Cevennes Evasion Travel Nature (20 minutes), and cyclists who relish a challenge can hire bikes from Mellow Vélos (15 minutes’ cycle ride) to head off-road onto mountain tracks like the Le Saltadou (40 minutes) for spectacular gorge views. In less physically demanding pursuits, you can fish for brown trout, perch and pike on the Tarn, get (reasonably) up close to wild Przewalski horses at Takh – Association pour le Cheval Przewalski (half an hour’s drive), or watch raptors circle in the thermals from the House of the Vultures (45 minutes). For views over the Cevennes National Park (on a clear day you can glimpse the Alps and the Pyrenees), drive up to the Météosite du Mont Aigoual (an hour), where there are also interactive displays on the weather of the region.
