  • Small, relaxed site in scenic setting next to vineyards and forest
  • Table d'hote and barbecues in the orchard; evenings around the firepit
  • Pétanque competitions and resident donkeys on site
Open since early 2017, Domaine Le Poteau in the Gers department is a small and scenic site. The friendly hosts are Matt and Kim, two avid travellers who have a real passion for what they do. The couple hosts dinner evenings in the orchard a couple of times a week, so you should feel right at home. As it's France, you may care to check out the local produce – easily sorted here too as Le Poteau is next to an Armagnac vineyard, and close to the wine-producing district of Côtes de Gascogne. And as it's France, you may then need to burn some gastronomic calories off… also a cinch, as the Midi-Pyrénées has around 30,000 kilometres of footpaths to tackle including loads of local routes. Domaine Le Poteau is a short walk from the medieval village of Castelnau-d'Auzan, on a hillside and in a wildlife haven, with well-maintained grounds and plenty of shaded spots. Its facilities include communal firepits and a play area – and you must tackle games of pétanque while here, as the site's weekly competition offers 'disappointing and mildly insulting' prizes for the victorious: obviously you should go all out to win.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its tranquil, natural setting and exceptionally friendly, helpful hosts who offer welcome drinks and local wine tastings. Facilities are consistently described as spotless and well-maintained, with spacious pitches offering both sun and shade. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere, convenient proximity to a village with amenities, and the hosts' dedication to guest comfort, including organised social evenings. A rare mention of occasional aircraft noise was addressed by management, who noted it's uncommon and usually military manoeuvres. Free-range chickens add to the rustic charm.

Liked L'accueil très sympathique du propriétaire, la visite des lieux dès mon arrivée et ainsi faciliter la découverte du camping. Ce site, et ses infrastructures, sont parfaitement entretenus. Le camping, en pleine nature, est la garantie d'un séjour calme et reposant. Je mentionne la petite attention fort sympathique du gérant, qui vous propose une boisson de bienvenue à ses campeurs, c'est rare et c'est à souligner.

Liked Where do I start. From arrival myself and my wife just knew we chose somewhere perfect. Matt and Kim were so helpful warming and generous. From the complimentary drink to offering to keep my personal beers in their fridge. The site was just amazing. Though the hosts are British they have kept this place as French as any French site. I’ve not stayed on a site anywhere in the world where the hosts will have a 30 minute conversation with you just about life and have a laugh and joke. From the beers served from the bar and the local wine on sale (though I chose to purchase a bottle of Floc and that has gone down nicely I might add Matt) to the very very well kept toilets and showers. They work very hard daily and you see it happening, to keep this site in the condition it is in. They cannot do enough for you, just fantastic people.
So I would highly highly recommend this site, and I will certainly be back again myself
Thanks Matt and Kim keep doing what your doing 👌

Liked Absolutely one of the best campsites we’ve ever stayed in. Got a complimentary drink on arrival from a couple of exceptional hosts.

Facilities were totally spotless and incredibly homely, making it feel less like a communal campsite and more like sharing a big house!

The hosts did a daily walk around to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their time and I even heard them offering to do shop runs if people needed anything.

What’s more, although we had only booked one night, we experienced troubles with our van so had to ask to stay a couple of nights longer. Not only did the hosts accept this openly, they even recommended and came to a local garage with us to help translate, all while recommending local spots to visit with our extra days gained.

Overall, what was meant to be a single stop became one of our favourite stays of our whole trip and we absolutely will be returning.

Disliked One highly annoying horse fly

Liked Everything, large pitches, great showers and toilets, bread delivery, fresh eggs but most of all the hosts Mat & Kim are just extremely welcoming and can’t do enough to help plus great recommendations for local restaurants and places to visit. Mat has some great local wines which you can taste and buy on site, he also offers you a free welcome glass of wine. We will return

Local attractions

It's about a kilometre from here to Castelnau-d'Auzan on the edge of Landes forest, among hiking, cycling and mountain bike trails, and within easy reach of a three-hectare lake for fishing and boating. The village is surrounded by vineyards if you're up for investigating the local vino; call into the tourist office for info, or ask Fiona and Alasdair for their tips on local tours. For sightseeing days, the medieval town (and Armagnac producers) of Condom can be reached in about 30 minutes, and department capital Auch in just over an hour. Closer to home, the handsome town of Montréal or Montréal-du-Gers is within 15 minutes. Other options for days out include Guinlet golf course, about 10 minutes' drive away, races and a driving school at Circuit Paul Armagnac in Nogoro (35 minutes), or the swimming and adventure park at Lac d'Aignan and boat tours and châteaux in Nérac, all within 40-45 minutes.
