- Lake on site for fishing and swims; village 10 minutes' walk away
Here’s a plan for your holiday in the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park – scenic hikes and/or bike rides by day, freshwater swim to cool off, then an evening tending your barbecue while the sun sets and the stars come out overhead.
If that simple but splendid schedule sounds good to you, you’ll find a good base for it at Camping Onlycamp Le Pioulat. This quiet Cantal campsite is on the western edge of the natural park, just outside the village of Trizac, and it’s close to lots of lovely trails – whether you fancy exploring nearby woodland walks, heading out onto the surrounding plateau areas or taking your mountain bike out on challenging hilly rides. Waterfalls, lakes, forests and mountains make up the landscapes here so you’ll never be short of a scenic view.
Back at base, you can refresh with a dip in the Pioulat lake if you like, or just have a little paddle from the lake beach to cool your feet. There’s fishing here too, so bring your rod along if you’re into angling.
This is a nature-filled site so it doesn’t have lots of colourful facilities, but all the essentials are covered: there’s a small grocery shop, a launderette and a motorhome service point, plus games of ping pong and pétanque to keep guests busy. Nearby Trizac isn’t a big place but it musters up a restaurant, bar, bakery and a butcher – handy for supplies for that evening by the barbecue (and a good breakfast in the morning).

Liked This is a lovely quiet site next to a small lake. Good facilities and the host was great, friendly and helpful. Choose your own pitch. The village is an easy 10 minute walk with a good boulangerie and at least 1 cafe. When I stayed there were horses in the fields by the site with foals. The lake is managed for fishing and wildlife with loads of dragonflies and some very noisy frogs! Most evenings there were a couple of local people fishing but it wasn't busy at all.

Local attractions
The surroundings of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park are full of great walking and mountain bike trails for all abilities, so ask at reception for ideas that suit your needs. Waterfall trails like those at Cascade de Marilhou (10 minutes' drive) and Cascade de Salins (25 minutes) are often popular picks.
For a different way to see the scenery, go horse riding with Cheval Nature Détente (five minutes’ walk), stroll the arty Chemin des pierres sculptées (15 minutes' drive) or take a ride on the Gentian Express tourist train (15 minutes). Daredevils can instead see it all from above with trial flights from Paragliding School Puy-Mary (35 minutes).
Back on solid ground, you may like to explore a classic turreted castle at Château d’Auzers (10 minutes), take a ride on the Pédalorail du Grand Pays de Salers (35 minutes) or learn a bit about local farming at Musée du Fromage et de la Vache Salers (35 minutes).
