This family-friendly campsite combines authentic outdoor camping with comfortable rental accommodation.

All rentals are non-smoking and set on generous, mostly shaded plots.

Open from late April to late October, this campsite provides a tranquil yet lively base for exploring Aveyron’s dramatic landscapes (information verified via the official campsite website and Flower Camping network listings).

The town is also home to the iconic Millau Viaduct, one of the tallest bridges in the world, with a dedicated visitor centre and panoramic viewpoints.

Key practical details:

The campsite is located directly on the riverbank — no roads to cross — making it especially convenient and safe for families. However, as this is a natural riverside setting, water levels and currents may vary depending on weather conditions.

Most pitches are shaded by mature trees, offering natural cooling during warmer months. For those visiting in spring or autumn, the heated swimming pool ensures comfortable swimming even when temperatures fluctuate.

Booking early is advisable for riverside pitches and larger 3-bedroom mobile homes, especially during summer and peak outdoor sports periods in Millau.
