Well-equipped Aveyron family-friendly site on banks of the Lot river
Bateau l’Olt cruises 10 minutes’ drive; Figeac 35 minutes
Dogs welcome; canoeing and wild swimming; pool; restaurant and bar

It’s likely that the folks behind Camping Pittoresque didn’t have to struggle to come up with a name for their site in south-western France. All they had to do was take a look at the splendid Aveyron countryside… et voilà: Camping Pittoresque was born. The location certainly makes this site rather desirable: sitting on the west bank of the Lot river, among gentle hills, Camping Pittoresque is about 35 minutes’ drive from the Aubrac Natural Regional Park and just a little farther from the Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park (45 minutes’ drive). Oh, and it sits right along a cycling route. And if walking and cycling are not your jams, alternative activities include fishing and canoeing in the Lot, climbing and cave explorations. There’s wild swimming, too, of course. If you get a little jittery in natural bodies of water, you can swim laps in the on-site pool instead. Meanwhile, the kids have a play area, a games room with a dartboard and pool table, and (in high season) a lively programme of organised activities. That all sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? Take things down a notch with a relaxed drink at the on-site bar or on the covered terrace, or a leisurely meal featuring local ingredients at the restaurant, which also runs themed evenings, such as pizza nights. For those doing their own catering, the nearest supermarket is in the village of St-Parthem (10 minutes), which also has a couple of restaurants. Dogs are welcome at the site, and there are canine-friendly walks in the vicinity.

What customers say

This highly-rated campground offers quiet, shaded spots by a river, perfect for unwinding and enjoying nearby trails. Guests rave about the helpful, friendly owners and spotless amenities, including restrooms. The bar serves food, and a pool and kids' games are on-site. While some mentioned restroom lines during peak times and no convenience store, most highly recommend it for family trips and plan to return.

Aug 2026 Genevieve P. 1 review

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Check in was easy, super friendly and helpful staff on reception. Shared lots of information about the area and campsite and were made to feel very welcome.

Lovely, shady pitch big enough for car, private and protected with bushes.

Facilities were fantastically well kept, great showers, great toilets, great washing up area.

We didn’t sit in the bar area or restaurant as we don’t drink and had taken our own food to cool, but the menu was varied as we were shown when we checked in, and we liked the selection of ice creams available 🍦

Having the river run past was absolutely idyllic, and we spent hours floating around. We didn’t participate as it felt like it was more aimed at kids/families (though we were told we were welcome to join!), but they organised a float down the river into town which we thought was so lovely.

The campsite was silent after 11pm, and we had fantastic sleep. Everyone was respectful of each other - campers and staff alike. It was lovely.

Close by to walking routes, though but 40 degrees during our stay so we mostly floated on the river.

Short drive into nearby towns for cafes/restaurants/shops. Quite remote, but that’s what we were wanting!

Lovely looking pool, but didn’t use it so can’t comment on this area.

I honestly cannot recommend this campsite enough, and I think we’d definitely return - especially if we have kids!

Disliked No soap in toilets, but took our own, not a problem.

Local attractions

Go west along the Lot to reach Bateau l’Olt (10 minutes’ drive), an electric boat that takes visitors on a peaceful river cruise, so you can admire the spectacular landscapes of this region from the water. Some cruises come with child-friendly themes, too, including pirates and puppet shows. A coal- and steel-mining hub in the 19th century, Decazeville (15 minutes) has interesting displays at the Museum of Industrial and Mining Heritage. The former open-cast mine (La Découverte) has been given over to nature: climb up to the top for views of the lake and the lush surroundings. Figeac (35 minutes) has a medieval town centre with pretty streets and squares lined with arcaded buildings. The Place des Ecritures features a monumental reproduction of the Rosetta Stone in honour of local lad Jean-François Champollion, who was the first to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics in the 1800s.
