  • Friendly green site at the foot of the Pyrenees
  • Five minutes' drive from Lourdes
  • Infrared sauna, restaurant and heated pool with mountain views
A serene and short drive from world-famed Lourdes, in a green and scenic setting at the foot of the Pyrenees… peaceful times are yours for the picking at welcoming and friendly Camping d'Arrouach. The biggest draw in this Hautes-Pyrénées setting is of course the pilgrimage site of Lourdes five minutes' drive away, a French tourist destination eclipsed only by Paris in the number of people who flock there each year (over six million, if you were pondering). But these mountainous surrounds have outdoor options and excursions for all tastes to get active at: leaf through the tourist information leaflets on site and the maps of walking and cycling trails, or ask the team to contact mountain guides to take you out on a trip, picking you up at the site. And after that? Camping d'Arrouach is well kitted out for less busy days too, whether you've tottered back somewhat tired after a day hiking the mountains, or have joined the throng at Lourdes (for it really can get rather busy there). Start off with a dip in the heated pool (open from mid-May to mid-October), grab a poolside lounger and enjoy the mountain views, or take some time to unwind in the infrared sauna. After that, wander along fully refreshed to the bistro, which has a tempting menu of pizzas and burgers as well as local dishes. It's also got a good range of drinks and hosts regular themed meals. There's also a meeting room and terrace with tables, for games and eats on less sunny days, and a communal barbecue area with picnic tables for dinner out of doors. The site reception sells all sorts of bits and bobs such as local produce, drinks, postcards and bread and pastries in the morning.

What customers say

Great mountain views, super staff & facilities like the pool & restaurant. Handy for Lourdes. Most loved the clean, quiet site, but flies were an issue for some. Limited loos/showers off-season and some noise noted too.

Kimberley K.

Power optional grass site

Liked Our favourite campsite from this trip so far. Excellent welcome and facilities on site. Nice big plots, nice pool and sauna (although we didn’t get to use them due to other activities and the weather was poor)! Lovely bistro on site, serving different foods each evening - and alcoholic and soft drinks available. Nice little on site shop for local produce. Bathrooms were clean, although a few flies around - possibly would recommend a UV trap for them!

Short drive to the shops - 10 mins at most. And lots of activities nearby! Would recommend O2 Rafting & Kayaking!!

Disliked Would have been nice to park the car on the plot as it was large enough even with a larger tent. It was quite a walk to the car in the rain to stock up on supplies and clothes.

Girl Scouts/Guides group were there when we were and they were singing and chanting until late; no necessarily a huge issue as it was nice to see them having such a good time, but with the site having designated quiet hours, it would have been good to see them enforce it for those who had early mornings the next day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Really close to Lourdes but happily a haven of quiet away from town.

Power optional grass site

Liked great location for exploring Lourdes and the surrounding area. a nice set up with a small but good pool.the staff were always helpful and friendly

Disliked we were unfortunate to stay at a time when there was a lot of flies around, the toilet block by the restaurant was especially bad. if traveling in June/July I would recommend taking precautions with you.

Liked Views
Close proximity to lourdes attractions

Disliked Flies flies more flies all round pitch in toilets in showers
Left could not stay no reception after 6pm calls for emergencies only
Emailed concerns basically response was I had one of most popular pitch however why was it vacant we were only booked for 1 night?
This is a farm with goats and horses chickens and swarms of flies

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Ellen,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re glad you enjoyed the views and the proximity to Lourdes’ attractions.
Regarding the flies, please note that their presence is unfortunately something we cannot control. Our campsite is located in a natural and rural environment, which can lead to an increased presence of insects during certain periods. As for the reception, outside of hight season, we close at 6 p.m. so that our team can manage dinner service at the bistro. On the bistro's weekly closing day, we use that time to carry out essential maintenance and upkeep throughout the site. Your pitch was indeed one of the most appreciated by our guests, with a lovely view and good space. It was available simply because a previous guest had just checked out that morning. For short stays, especially just one night, guests are welcome to choose from available pitches if they prefer a different location and I'm happy to assist during reception hours.
We’re sorry that you left without giving us the opportunity to help, and we hope the rest of your trip went well.
Kind regards,
Anna

Local attractions

Lourdes is the third most-visited Catholic pilgrimage destination in the world, after Rome and the Holy Land: the highlight is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, set around the Lourdes grotto with the Béout, Petit Jeri and Grand Jer peaks rising up behind. If this isn't your bag, heaps of hiking and cycling can be had in the surrounding mountains, on trails of all lengths and for most levels. Around Lourdes, take the Les Gaves greenway cycle route from Lourdes to Pierrefitte; the local stretch of the Piémont Trail or GR 78, or the Henry IV trail, linking Lourdes to Pau. A must while you're here is the funicular railway trip to the summit of the famed Pic du Jer, 950 metres up with spectacular views of the countryside below (you'll see the peak from Lourdes after dark, as its big cross is lit up once night falls). Take the walking trail at the summit to the observatory for those splendid views, stretching out over Lourdes, Tarbes, Pau, the Argelès Gazost valley and the peaks of the Pyrenees.
