  • Family park in Cantal, famed for its forests and volcanic hot springs
  • Surrounded by the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park
  • Brasserie-bar, shop, fishing and walking and biking trails on site
It's not just any old bar that you'll quench your thirst at after a day hiking around these splendid volcanic parts: the one at friendly and family-run Camping La Santoire in the Cantal department is favoured by the local villagers, so a proper evening among amiable locals awaits. Camping La Santoire is just a three-minute walk from the village of Saint-Bonnet-de-Condat in the Auvergne region in central France. Dig into the local cuisine nearby or lounge around on site for lazy and food-filled times at the brasserie-bar or for picnics via supplies from the shop or a takeaway. Camping La Santoire is green, pretty and shaded place, with fishing available directly from the site in the trout-laden waters of the Santoire river. Guests can go hiking in the woodland around the site or try horse riding, mountain biking or skiing in the surrounding Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park. The site is also close to lakes for more fishing as well as waterfalls for more hiking: bag a map at reception for information on the nicest cascading trails. A playground and a pétanque court are also on site for gentle activity after a day out exploring the local area.

Plomb du Cantal 2 bedroom lodge (pet friendly)

Liked: Lovely location, with beautiful views. Driving was a delight 😊 the campsite is situated in a small village and has its own shop opened until late in the evening. We have stayed at one of the chalets and were really pleased with the space, it was very clean, it has a really nice bathroom and well equipped kitchen.
Please don't forget to bring your own bed linen (mentioned in the description also). You will be provided with pillows and duvets just need your own bedding.
Dog friendly too 😊
The campsite looks really well and pitches are also big and on a nice flat surface and amenities are well taken care of.
For summer nights there is also a nice outdoor terrace where you can enjoy a drink or snack.
Definitely added on our list of places to stop when travelling in the area. We visited on a very quiet period and enjoyed peace and tranquility and a very good night sleep and hopefully it is not too noisy in the main season either.

Nigel D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful little peaceful site in stunning scenery. Owners are delightful and so helpful. Spotlessly clean facilities. Pretty little village although somewhat remote. Food in snack bar very nice and prices of food and drink very reasonable. Sound of cow bells as morning alarm call is a wonderful sound. A perfect site to sit back and let nature slow you down.

Disliked: A bit remote for some so unless you enjoy walking or cycling up hills then not a lot to do. Reliable vehicle needed to travel narrow mountain roads. None of this is a detriment to what the site is.

Liked: Sehr schöner und gepflegter Campingplatz in der Natur. Sanitäre Anlagen waren sehr sauber und liebevoll renoviert. Es hatte ein kleines Einkaufslädeli direkt beim Campingplatz. Wir haben uns sofort extrem wohl gefühlt. Es war eine ruhige und erholsame Zeit.

Local attractions

Camping La Santoire is within the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park, one of the biggest natural parks in Europe. You might agree it's one of the most spectacular too: its vast expanse covers around 975,000 acres across the departments of Cantal and Puy-de-Dôme, made up of peaks, forests and hot springs. It's just over an hour from Camping La Santoire to the main tourist office at the park in Aydat. Closer to home, access the GR4 for hiking hours around those local lakes and waterfalls, or take your energetic self for more of the same around the extinct volcano of the Puy Mary, 45 minutes' drive away. Jump onto the tourist train of the Gentian Express 20 minutes away in Riom-ès-Montagnes, running 16 kilometres to Lugarde past the Barajol, Lugarde and Chassagny viaducts. The Super Besse and Super Lioran ski destinations are around 35 minutes' drive away in either direction from the site.
