Camping LES PRADES

Camping LES PRADES is a 4‑star family‑friendly campsite nestled in a breathtaking natural setting at the edge of the Gorges du Tarn, one of Europe’s most spectacular river valleys. The site stretches across a riverbank location with two private beaches — one grassy and one pebbled — right on the shores of the Tarn River. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and gently flowing water, it’s an ideal destination for those who want to combine outdoor adventure with relaxation in nature.

The campsite spans approximately 5 hectares of terraced, semi‑shaded grounds with 178 spacious pitches for tents, caravans, or motorhomes. These sheltered pitches generally measure between 80 – 120 m², perfect for campers who want plenty of space and privacy. If a more comfortable stay is your preference, there are 30 modern mobile homes, bungalows, lodges, and Coco Sweet units, all designed to appeal to couples, families, and groups alike.

One of the true highlights here is the large aquatic area — a 200 m² heated swimming pool complex that includes a water slide, waterfall, bubble bath, paddling pool for children, and sauna, offering both fun and relaxation. There’s also a jacuzzi tucked into the poolside area for unwinding after a day of exploration.

On‑site amenities are comprehensive and make everyday life easy: a bar and restaurant serving local cuisine and snacks, a grocery shop for essentials, wifi, laundry facilities, and even an electric vehicle charging station. For families, there’s a lively children’s club, playgrounds, and plenty of outdoor games such as table tennis, pétanque, volleyball, badminton, and archery — many included in your stay.

For motorhome travelers, the campsite offers an area with service points and easy access for larger vehicles, making it a desirable stop on any road trip through Southern France.

In short, Camping LES PRADES is not just a campsite — it’s a vibrant outdoor village with excellent facilities, family‑oriented activities, and a magical natural backdrop that keeps guests returning year after year.

Camping LES PRADES sits in a truly spectacular location in the Aveyron, just outside Mostuéjouls and near the village of Le Rozier in southern France. It’s at the gateway to the Gorges du Tarn, Europe’s longest limestone canyon, celebrated for its dramatic cliffs, crystal clear river, and outdoor sports opportunities.

Right from the campsite, you can swim in the Tarn River, rent canoes and kayaks, or book descents down iconic sections of the river — ideal for families and adventurers alike.

Hiking and cycling routes crisscross the nearby Grands Causses Regional Natural Park, offering everything from gentle riverside walks to panoramic high‑plateau trails. Guided excursions, via‑ferrata routes, and mountain biking are easily accessible within a few kilometers.

Just a short drive (about 15 – 20 minutes) brings you to Millau, a charming town famous for the Millau Viaduct, one of the world’s tallest bridges. Millau also boasts markets, cafes, and cultural sites — perfect for a day trip.

Local villages like Mostuéjouls and Peyreleau are steeped in medieval heritage, with narrow cobbled streets, ancient churches, and panoramic views over the rivers. Nearby nature sites include sandstone formations, caves, and lookout points over the canyon.

For those interested in wildlife and family attractions, Micropolis – the City of Insects and La Cité de Pierres (stone city) near Millau are excellent day‑trip destinations.

Whether you’re into water sports, hiking, heritage tours, food experiences, or just soaking up the scenery, this region offers something exciting every day.

Before you arrive at Camping LES PRADES, it’s worth noting that this region is best enjoyed in the spring through early autumn months, when the weather is warm and outdoor activities are at their peak. Planning your visit around local events or peak natural scenery — such as wildflower seasons or river flow patterns — can enhance your experience.

The campsite atmosphere is typically relaxed and friendly, with efforts to balance social areas and quiet ones so that guests of all types can enjoy their stay. Quiet times are generally observed at night, creating a peaceful environment for families and those looking to unwind.

Nearby towns and villages offer local shops and markets, but it’s a good idea to pick up essentials before arrival if you’re heading here without a car, as rural regions can have limited transport options outside major hubs. Bringing comfortable walking shoes, water gear, and a sense of adventure will help you make the most of the stunning outdoor playground at your doorstep.

Expect a mix of international and local guests — this area is popular with campers from across Europe — and be ready to greet fellow outdoor lovers with a smile!
