Camping de Rousieux

Set in the peaceful countryside of the Tarn region, Camping de Rousieux is a small 4-star campsite with just around 50 pitches, offering an intimate and relaxed holiday atmosphere. Nestled between the historic cities of Albi, Toulouse and Carcassonne, the campsite enjoys a privileged location in the heart of Occitanie while remaining surrounded by wide open green spaces and woodland.

The campsite is designed for guests who value tranquillity, nature and generous space. Pitches range from approximately 90 m² to 200 m², bordered by natural hedges and shaded by mature trees, making them ideal for tents, caravans and motorhomes. For those seeking additional comfort, accommodation options include mobile homes (2–6 persons), wooden chalets, two safari lodges, and camping pitches in open clearings for a more adventurous experience.

Facilities on site include:

• Heated swimming pool with a separate paddling pool for younger children
• Spacious camping and motorhome pitches (90–200 m²)
• Mobile homes and chalets with private facilities
• Safari lodges for a glamping-style stay
• Pony rides (seasonal activity mentioned by the campsite)
• Natural wooded environment with century-old trees

This family-run campsite focuses on calm holidays, wide open space and simple pleasures — whether that’s relaxing by the heated pool, enjoying local cuisine, or spending quiet evenings under the Tarn sky.

Camping de Rousieux is ideally located for exploring some of southern France’s most beautiful heritage sites. Within about 25–30 minutes by car, you can reach Albi, home to the impressive Cathedrale Sainte-Cecile d'Albi and the Musee Toulouse-Lautrec.

In approximately 1 hour, you can visit Carcassonne and its world-famous medieval fortress, Cite de Carcassonne. Toulouse, known as the “Pink City,” is also reachable in around an hour and offers vibrant markets, shopping streets, restaurants and cultural attractions.

Closer to the campsite, you’ll find:

• Local restaurants and small shops in nearby villages (within approx. 10–15 minutes by car)
• Countryside walking routes and rural Tarn landscapes directly around the campsite
• Regional markets in surrounding towns
• Lakes and rivers in the Tarn department suitable for outdoor activities (distance varies by location)

This location is perfect for guests wanting to combine countryside camping with cultural discovery.

Camping de Rousieux is a small-scale, family-oriented campsite focused on peace and relaxation rather than large entertainment programmes. The calm atmosphere makes it particularly suitable for couples, families with young children, and guests travelling with motorhomes who prefer spacious pitches.

Key points to know:

• Around 50 pitches total, ensuring a quiet environment
• Pitch sizes from 90 to 200 m²
• Heated swimming pool and paddling pool available on site
• Variety of accommodation types from classic camping to safari lodges
• Rural location – a car is recommended for sightseeing and shopping

The campsite’s position in the Albi–Toulouse–Carcassonne triangle makes it an excellent base for exploring Occitanie, while still offering genuine countryside tranquillity. Booking early is advisable during the summer season due to the limited number of pitches.
