  • Family-friendly camping with mountain views near Montclar in the Aude
  • Half an hour’s drive to Carcassonne and the Lac de la Cavayère
  • Water park with two pools and jet spas; bar and restaurant; shop
Get ready to get active. You’re at Domaine d’Arnauteille, set on a verdant 115-hectare private estate deep in hilly, forested Aude countryside. With mountain views on all sides – you can see the Corbières Massif, the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees – staying here also puts you close to the rural village of Montclar (five minutes’ drive) and historic Carcassonne (half an hour). Actually, there’s so much to do around the site, you may never get to Carcassonne. Or the Pyrenees. By day, life revolves around the amphitheatre-styled water park with mountain views, indoor and outdoor pools, water chutes and a paddling pool for youngsters. Teens and parents can laze on the sundeck or take their turn in spas baths and massage jets. To up the activity ante, locally you can go hiking, mountain biking or horse riding through vineyards, take to the Aude river for a spot of white-water rafting… the list goes on. And it’s not just sporty types who will have a ball here. Entertainment is laid on for the kids, who get to make puppets and go on treasure hunts. There’s a library, a TV room, a games room… Adults soon get into the holiday spirit too, thanks to the bar in the vaulted cellars and a restaurant with a shaded terrace. So… pretty much everything you need for family downtime is on tap. No need to fret about running out of supplies either; simply stock up on fruits, vegetables and wine at the site’s essentials shop, and pick up fresh pastries and baguettes every morning.

Liked: The facilities were excellent and close to hand. The showers were good with also a hand basin in the cubicle, though a plug would've been useful. A small shop on site where you could buy fresh bread. The library was good but with only a small selection of English book, we managed to top that up a bit with a further 12 books when we left. Views were magnificent including the wonderful views of the night sky. Easy access to larger supermarkets in Carcassonne and Limoux. Pool area was excellent with a great pool cafe. All in all a fantastic experience which we both thoroughly enjoyed.

Disliked: Nothing.

Disliked: The bar was ‘shut’ with lights off when we arrived in darkness. When we arrived and got the barman to turn the lights on people started to come to the bar.

Local attractions

If you manage to drag the family away from the pool complex, Carcassonne (half an hour’s drive) should be high on your list of potential visits. Wrapped in medieval walls, this little town is almost Disney-esque in its gorgeousness: book a guided tour of the turreted Château Comtal, visit the gothic Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, and see some pretty repulsive torture implements in the Museum of the Inquisition. Book a barge trip down the Canal du Midi, take a family bike ride along its banks or head to Lac de la Cavayère (both half an hour) for swims in clear water and rounds of mini-golf. For more adrenaline-filled, water-based adventures, go whitewater rafting down the steep-sided Pierre Lys gorges (50 minutes). If you’d care to dip into the region’s history, visit the four clifftop Cathar castles at Châteaux de Lastours (40 minutes) to stroll ruined courtyards, climb spiral staircases up towers with arrow slits in the walls, and see murder holes where prisoners once starved to death.
