  • Nature-focused Pyrénées-Orientales site by the Llech river
  • Half an hour's drive to Perpignan; 20 minutes to Le Train Jaune
  • Natural river pool on site, plus restaurant and bike hire
If you’re pining for some peaceful time in the Pyrenees, take a good look at Camping Le Canigou. This nature-focused site by the Llech river in Espira-de-Conflent describes itself as a ‘riverside nature oasis between the sea and the mountains’ – and doesn’t that just sound like a pretty wonderful combination for an outdoor break? This area is packed with things to see and do – you may well find yourselves filling your days with activities like mountain biking, hiking, canyoning and climbing, visiting historic attractions like the Cathar castles and Romanesque abbeys or heading to the coast for beach days and seaside towns. Back on site, the pace slows down significantly – this is a place where you’ll be able to spend a quiet hour or few taking dips in the natural river pool (open from June onwards), soaking up the splendid scenery or enjoying a long, leisurely meal at the restaurant. A play area, games room and pétanque court are on hand for those who need a bit of activity in their lives, and you can also hire bikes to go pedalling around the local area. Everyday amenities have been nicely thought out at the site as well – guests have access to all sorts of handy things including a small convenience store (with fresh bread sales in high season), wifi, a launderette, a washing-up area and bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible facilities.

What customers say

Peaceful site, lovely setting. Staff are great, facilities and food are good. Kids love the swimming lake and activities. Downsides: noise from others late at night, tight pitches for big rigs, high toilet seats, and Wi-Fi only in the bar.

Local attractions

This is an area that has a lot to offer for all sorts of visitors. Active outdoor types are particularly well served, with a great choice of hiking and mountain bike trails, plus activity providers nearby organising things like canyoning and rock climbing. Truly intrepid guests can tackle the ascent of Pic du Canigou from the trailhead about an hour’s drive away, while others look out for alternative remarkable pieces of scenery like Les Orgues d’Ille-sur-Têt (20 minutes’ drive). History is plentiful around these parts too, so plan trips to places like to the Vauban fortifications in Villefranche-de-Conflent (20 minutes) and the Cathar castles of Puilaurens and Peyrepertuse (both an hour and 10 minutes). Perpignan (half an hour) is packed with interesting sights to see, and you can also step further back in time at Museum of Prehistory Tautavel (50 minutes). For other days out, take a scenic ride on Le Train Jaune (20 minutes), visit the arty seaside town of Collioure (an hour) or have an indulgent day sampling the area’s vineyards before having a well-earned soak in one of the local thermal baths.
