  • Lakeside site a few kilometres from Foix, the Ariège's main town
  • Fishing, boating, rafting and treetop adventure park
  • Pool and paddling pool with sunloungers alongside
Ponder your mood of the morning when you awake at Camping du Lac near Foix in the Ariège department of south-west France. Feeling adventurous? Then get out into the open for long adrenaline-packed hours around this lakeside site (do, however, remember to get dressed first…). An early adventurous option should be kayaking or rafting on the lake; if watery antics aren't your thing, make your way up high to the site's treetop adventure course. Canyoning and hiking are around in the area too, as is (for the truly intrepid), hang gliding above the spectacular landscapes of the Pyrenées Ariégoises Regional Nature Park. Non, non and un big fat non? Peeps of a more placid persuasion have plenty of pursuits here too: the lake is a splendid spot for fishing and paddling, and the site has its own nicely-sized pool with sunbeds alongside. Camping du Lac is a green and peaceful site, about five kilometres from the train station at Foix. The town market on Friday mornings is your destination for local produce.

What customers say

Great location, spacious sites, and friendly staff. Close to town & shops. Pool and lake bar are hits. Road noise and limited off-season facilities, including an older shower block, are drawbacks. Teenagers and late music have been disruptive.

Liked Location great for flat cycling to places of interest and Foix.

Pool area clean and well presented.

Good environmental area with a lack of composting facilities though.

Disliked This goes more to pitch-up than the site maybe. I specifically requested a quiet pitch and was allocated the noisiest pitch on the site, immediately next to the pool with screaming kids from 10am - 9pm. Pool should close at 8pm but when it is hot they keep it open later and it was when the teenagers started shouting and playing dunk and ball in the pool. Must be better out of school holidays.

Music from the animation area went on after 10:30pm. Music from the offsite venue also goes on very late and super loud. Info says you have to be quiet from 10:30 but when music is still loud… I was surprised to find this in such a natural setting at the foothills of the Pyrenees, out of character.

Local attractions

Hang gliding, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, canyoning, hiking, horse riding and exploring the local lakes, mountains and forests… all are around the region for adventurous sorts. Many peaceful days are within easy reach too, like investigating the deep history of the Ariège region at the Parc de la Prehistoire de Tarascon-sur-Ariege prehistory museum 15 minutes' drive south: this splendid centre should entertain even certified non-history types with its huge range of sights and activities including workshops, games, displays and events all based around the ancestral people who once lived in the famed Cave of Niaux. (Visit the cave too, for a torchlight trip underground among extensive galleries of prehistoric wall paintings, along the cavern's 18-kilometre length.) The town of Foix a few kilometres away is home to a 12th-century castle and a medieval Old Town as well as the serene botanical garden of Les Épines de Lespinet, with Mediterranean vegetation, banana plants and many spiky cacti.
