  • Family-friendly site with direct access to the river Cesse, in Aude
  • Narbonne 25 minutes’ drive; Carcassonne 55 minutes
  • Heated swimming pool and paddling pool; bike and canoe hire
If your DryRobe has been hanging unused in your wardrobe because you can never find a chance to go wild swimming, listen up – this is for you. Le Val de Cesse, in the Aude department, sits right on the tree-lined banks of the Cesse, a shallow river that is eminently swimmable (for children, too), but that also lends itself to watersports – whether paddleboarding or canoeing (any equipment can be hired on site). If wild swimming is a step too far for you, you can still get your laps in at the heated outdoor pool (open April–October), which comes with an additional paddling pool for toddlers (with a suitably diminutive water slide) and a large solarium with sun loungers. Other ways to keep the kids entertained include a playground, a petting farm and pony rides. It’s also possible to hire a bicycle on site. A five-minute bike ride takes you into the nearby village of Mirepeisset, where you can stock up on picnic essentials at the grocery store before continuing along the Cesse to the Canal du Midi (a 15-minute bike ride). Prefer to hike? There are plenty of trails of various degrees of difficulty in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park (40 minutes’ drive), and they’ll take you past dramatic waterfalls, up craggy outcrops and to spectacular viewpoints. In addition to the village grocery store (and to an on-site produce delivery service available three times a week on reservation), there are several supermarkets and restaurants within a 10-minute drive.

What customers say

Lovely natural spot with shady pitches & a river. Heated pool, friendly staff, great facilities like kids' areas & dog wash. Close to activities. Downsides: uneven pitches, broken water points, poor/scarce loos, noise.

Liked Staff extremely helpful. We had booked but didn't have a pitch for us, however, we stayed in a temporary pitch and allocated one the next day. Fabulous showers, plenty hot water, great pressure and toilets kept very clean. Reasonable bar/snack prices and again staff friendly and polite. Good free wi fi

Disliked Would prefer to be shown to a pitch rather than find your own.

Paul D.

3 bedroom static caravan (six person, premium)

Liked We stayed in a 3 bed static which which was clean, tidy, spacious. It had all you need for self catering. The beds were comfortable, the shower worked and was hot. The air-conditioning was an absolute gem and worked well. Our accommodation looked over the pool and was close to the entertainment. Good Wifi was available. The site itself was lovely with a lovely pool and friendly staff. We would come again if we visited that area again.

Disliked The evening entertainment was OK and mainly staged by the staff members. Karaoke and music quizzes whilst we were there and one solo female singer.

Powered grass site (comfort)

Liked Le cadre naturel et ombragé, le personnel au petits soins, les jeux pour les enfants, les sanitaires prévus pour les enfants , les activités, la piscine chauffée.....
Et l'emplacement idéal car à proximité de beaucoup d'activités et de lieux à visiter ainsi que la mer à 40mns.

Disliked La guinguette proche du camping organise des soirées très sympathiques mais lorsqu'on veut s'endormir tôt c'est parfois compliqué.

Powered grass site (comfort)

Liked La rivière à proximité pour baignade.
Un canidouche pour laver les chiens.

Disliked Manque d’infrastructure du site.
D’accord cela fait un an que cela à été repris, mais il manque de sanitaires, de douches. (50 à 150 emplacements)
Les emplacements très irréguliers (Bosses, trous).
Pour les emplacements tentes, caravanes, il y a des bornes à eau qui ne fonctionne pas.
La piscine, pas de bonnet obligatoire, donc des cheveux en surface.
C’est surtout les sanitaires qui posent problème. Poubelles dans les wc pas régulièrement vidées.
Pour un camping ayant le label 4 étoiles nous trouvons cela décevant.
C’est triste mais je ne recommande pas.

Local attractions

The Aude is renowned for its red wines, and there are several vineyards and wineries within a 10-minute drive of the site – in pretty much any direction you care to choose. Many of them arrange visits to the facilities followed by tastings, and they also sell their vinous offerings at the cellar door. Narbonne (25 minutes) is home to a medieval monumental complex that includes the unfinished Cathédrale Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur and the Palais-Musée des Archevêques, Palais Vieux, an imposing stone structure. La Via Domitia is a stretch of ancient Roman road, or you can visit the birthplace of French chansonnier Charles Trenet (of ‘La Mer’ fame). Crossed by the Canal du Midi, Carcassonne (55 minutes) has an ancient hilltop citadel (the Cité de Carcassonne) with more than 50 towers dotting its fortifications. In the modern part of the town, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Carcassonne, in an elegant neo-classical building, displays art from the 16th century onwards.
