- Hérault site on the banks of Salagou Lake, with lake-view pitches
- Half an hour's drive to Causse du Larzac hikes; Montpellier 40 minutes
- Watersports centre, lake beach and restaurant on site
Treat yourselves to a slice of lakeside life at Camping Onlycamp Les Vailhés – this friendly Hérault site is right on the shoreline of Salagou Lake, about 10 minutes’ drive south of Lodève.
With that lakefront location come all sorts of benefits, including a beach area where you can swim, go fishing or simply relax on the sand (perhaps with something from the food truck to boost the experience further…)
There’s also the added bonus of a busy watersports centre, which has all sorts of activities on offer including canoeing, sailing and windsurfing. You can join in with supervised sessions or hire the equipment (or things like electric boats or pedalos) and strike out under your own steam.
Lake views are another benefit, of course – and they’re shared out nicely here, thanks to terracing that gives lots of pitches a view over the water. The site’s restaurant is another place with a lovely outlook over the lake – plus a tempting menu of burgers, salads, sharing boards and the like.
Other handy facilities on site include a food shop, a launderette, a chemical disposal point and a bathroom block with toilets and showers. There's also a play area to keep the kids happy while on site.
Living right by a lake is sure to be a highlight, but in fact this whole area is a real treat for people who love outdoor activities. There are lots of great hikes and marked mountain bike trails nearby through some stunning landscapes, along with other activities including horse riding and climbing.

Liked: Stunning campsite right next to the lake. Well organised & spacious pitches with excellent facilities. Plenty of tree shade as we arrived in October and it was sweltering! Fresh Croissants and baguettes available daily as the campsite is not near a village.
Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions
Bring your hiking boots along, because you’ll need them – whether you’re taking the pretty 10-kilometre circular trail around the lake or heading out to places like Causse du Larzac (half an hour’s drive), which has guided hikes as well as easy-to-follow trails. There are lots more trails around the Lodévois and Larzac areas – for family outings or more challenging hikes – so have a chat on site for some tips.
Cyclists are equally well catered for, with a fabulous 17 marked trails running through the surrounding Grand Site du Lac du Salagou and the Cirque de Mourèze – ranging from an easy three kilometres to a more hardcore 38 kilometres.
For a more gentle day out, take a stroll around the well-preserved medieval town of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert (half an hour’s drive), follow one of the themed trails through the historic streets of Béziers (45 minutes) or head to Montpellier (40 minutes) to explore the museums and dine on local fish dishes like bouillabaisse.
