Off to Ariège? For Cathar castle country, watery adventures, medieval villages and stunning scenery all around? How jolly sensible of you. Be more sensible still and sort a stay at Flower Camping La Pibola, a small and peaceful site where the firm focus is on family holidays in a scenic setting.
Hills, rivers and waterfalls are all around here to explore by foot, bike, horseback or canoe, the handsome expanse of Lac de Montbel is a short drive south, and spectacular Carcassonne is within an hour for culture connoisseurs. (And you must also check out Camon or Little Carcassonne a mere five minutes' drive away, for tis a historic and splendid spot too.)
La Pibola is a family-run site, between Mirepoix and Montbel lake, on a wooded hill in Cathar country. There's a good range of family-friendly entertainment for your days around the grounds; join everyone at the welcome drink on Sunday evenings in high season to hear the lowdown on what's happening during your stay... kids' clubs, teen activities, picnics, board games nights, food nights and concerts are all on offer.
The site also has a pool, a play area, a pétanque court and a games and TV room. A grocery shop sells local produce and other foodie bits, and bread and pastries are delivered daily.

Local attractions
You'll be happily entertained/occupied for weeks around here, whether you want to join in activities organised by the site or set off into the Ariège countryside under your own steam.
Canoeing and kayaking can be had on the Hers river that flows at the foot of Camping La Pibola's hill; an equestrian centre is at nearby Léran (10 minutes' drive), and caving and canyoning are both close by: ask the Pibola team for info on all these as well as on the many hikes close to the site. The team can also angle you in the right direction for local lake and river fishing, or, for truly heady types, set you up with a nearby paragliding company for dizzy adventures overhead.
More outdoor days are at Lac de Montbel (25 minutes), a 1,500-acre reservoir that's a popular pick in the region for canoeing and sailing, or setting forth on the 16-kilometre hiking path around the lake's shores. The Ariégeoises Pyrenees Regional Natural Park is 40 minutes' drive away (access it via Vernajoul) for more hikes, or you could amble around the Roquefort waterfalls within half an hour.
If you're here for history – it's Cathar country after all – Château de Montségur is 35 minutes away and Château d'Arques is within an hour.
