General
- Friendly green site at the foot of the Pyrenees
- Under 10 minutes' drive from Lourdes
- Infrared sauna, restaurant and sports hall
A serene and short drive from world-famed Lourdes, in a green and scenic setting at the foot of the Pyrenees… peaceful times are yours for the picking at welcoming and friendly Camping d'Arrouach.
The biggest draw in this Hautes-Pyrénées setting is of course the pilgrimage site of Lourdes a few kilometres away, a French tourist destination eclipsed only by Paris in the number of people who flock there each year (over six million, if you were pondering).
But these mountainous surrounds have outdoor options and excursions for all tastes to get active at: leaf through the tourist information leaflets on site and the maps of walking and cycling trails, or ask the team to contact mountain guides to take you out on a trip, picking you up at the site.
And after that? Camping d'Arrouach is well kitted out for less busy days too, whether you've tottered back somewhat knackered after a day hiking the mountains, or have joined the throng at Lourdes (for it really can get rather busy there). Start off at the infrared sauna to unknot sore muscles/de-stress from massive crowds, then wander along fully refreshed to the tapas bar for light bites and fine wine.
There's also a meeting room and terrace with tables, for games and eats on less sunny days, and a communal barbecue area with picnic tables for dinner out of doors. The site reception sells practical bits and bobs such as camping gas, ice, drinks, ice cream, postcards, and bread and pastries in the morning.
Open from 03/22/2019 to 10/23/2019

Location
From Pau via the D940 road: after the signpost for the town of Lourdes, take the second turning on your right onto Avenue des Trois Archanges where you will find the campsite.
From the east via the D937 road: head towards Lourdes, on arrival at Lourdes, follow directions to the Lac de Lourdes and then Avenue de Vizens. Camping d'Arrouach will be on your left.
From Tarbes: before the railway bridge, take a right turn towards Pau then continue for approximately 2km. Pass in front of the sports ground then take a left turn into Rue des Trois Archanges where you will find the campsite.
Local attractions
Lourdes is the third most-visited Catholic pilgrimage destination in the world, after Rome and the Holy Land: the highlight is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, set around the Lourdes grotto with the Béout, Petit Jeri and Grand Jer peaks rising up behind.
If this isn't your bag, heaps of hiking and cycling can be had in the surrounding mountains, on trails of all lengths and for most levels. Around Lourdes, take the Les Gaves greenway cycle route from Lourdes to Pierrefitte; the local stretch of the Piémont Trail or GR 78, or the Henry IV trail, linking Lourdes to Pau.
A must while you're here is the funicular railway trip to the summit of the famed Pic du Jer, 950 metres up with spectacular views of the countryside below (you'll see the peak from Lourdes after dark, as its big cross is lit up once night falls). Take the walking trail at the summit to the observatory for those splendid views, stretching out over Lourdes, Tarbes, Pau, the Argelès Gazost valley and the peaks of the Pyrenees.

Thank you for your comment, we regret that you did not enjoy your stay while a rainy day. We just want to clarify some information which is not true in your comment. Requirements for pitch's size at a 3 star campsite in France is a minimum of 80m2, the restaurant is open in september every day upon reservation, the gym is open every day during reception openinig hours from 9a.m. till 11a.m. and from 2p.m till 7 p.m.
We do not understand what you mean by "washing up". Showers are inside, laudry service is available inside... dish trays are outside but under the roof, so really we do not see what you mean.
Kind regards, Anna and Fabien
