  • Relaxed family campsite near lakes and beaches at Gruissan in the Aude
  • A five-minute drive to Gruissan and Les Chalets beach, 20 to Narbonne
  • Family activities, sports, playground, karaoke, bar and restaurant
A fab location 500 metres from Étang de Gruissan lagoon and a short five-minute car journey from the nearest Mediterranean beach at Les Chalets (you can walk it in 35 minutes), plus a casual, open-air restaurant and numerous organised activities makes Camping Paradis Barberousse a cracker of a base for simple family camping holidays in the Aude. This is a fine spot for a family break – it's got a relaxed vibe, a paddling pool, inflatable play area and mini discos for the kids. Activity leaders from the Camping Paradis Academy are always on hand to advise you on day trips, and there’s usually something going on around the site – kids’ games, sports activities and tournaments, exercise classes and pétanque competitions… But what about adults? Never fear, you get your own chance to chill in saunas or laze in hot tubs at the site’s wellness centre – or you can join tours to the fishing harbour at Gruissan, local vineyards for tasting sessions and weekly hiking trips to see more of the Aude region. The fun doesn’t stop at night, with communal barbecues, dancing, quiz evenings and karaoke sessions to keep you up until late. There’s no real need to cook either, as the terrace bar and restaurants serve up snacks, drinks and tasty regional dishes to keep everybody happy and energised.

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: Al bany hi havien endolls i un assecador

Disliked: Parcela de sorra arran de la carretera, i davant del carrer del càmping, tota la nit cotxes i soroll.el terra de la parcela brut, el posen com si fos de 4 estrelles i realment no crec que pugui tenir ni una, molt vell i poc cuidat. Haguéssim marxat al veure on havíem de muntar, però ja havíem pagat i no teníem més opció que quedar-nos.

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: It was in Gruisson. 35 minute peaceful walk to the beach.

Disliked: The site was absolutely rammed full of pitches with multiple tents on one pitch. camping car and tent on one pitch also. The facilities were poor and poorly maintained. The showers were not cleaned regularly and there was nothing provided to clean the showers before or after use. The pitches were basic. No grass and just dust and stone. I watched a person opposite bend multiple tent pegs as they tried to pitch their tent. Large groups of young people also. I needed to leave at 6.00am in the morning owing to family commitments but we were locked in by a security guard until 7:00am. No exceptions. My exit code also failed to work and had to be over-ridden by the grumpy security guard. Definitely would not go back.

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: L'accueil sympa,la propreté des sanitaires est top,le bar/restaurant ( employés,patrons) , cocktails du bar 🥰 . Laura ( qui est lumineuse et son mojito 😉)

Disliked: Petit bémol, dommage que les emplacements ne soient pas plus délimités par de la végétation ou autre. Et peut-être qu ils seraient judicieux de mettre de caravanes ou mobil-home près de la route plutôt que des tentes,van etc ..

Local attractions

Beach babies have a choice of Mediterranean-side hotspots, from Les Chalets (five minutes’ drive) to peaceful Plage de Mateille beach (15 minutes), where kids can have a good run around. There are secluded beaches to discover in the Narbonnaise en Méditerranée Regional Natural Park (half an hour), where you can also go wild swimming in lagoons and sometimes spot pink flamingos stalking in the shallows. To do some challenging exploring on two feet, go hiking in the Massif de la Clape foothills (20 minutes); meanwhile, mountain bikers have around 100 kilometres of marked routes to follow direct from the campsite. Family walkers and cyclists can tone things down a bit by following level trails through the surrounding salt marshes. If you’ve the time to wander further afield, the lovely city of Narbonne (20 minutes) has a soaring cathedral and canalside walks. You can also visit the famous Fonseranes Locks flight on the Canal du Midi and push on to Béziers (both 40 minutes), or tour an ancient castle and palace at Perpignan (55 minutes) – but don’t forget to see the cute wooden houses built on stilts when you get back to home base at Gruissan (five minutes).
