Camping les Osiers

Alan Rogers Review of Camping les Osiers

Les Osiers is located between Sainte Enimie and Ispagnac at the head of the Gorges du Tarn. The site has a riverside location with 80 large, undelineated pitches, 53 of which are for touring. These are generally well shaded and most have 10A electricity (very long leads may be needed). Pitches close to the river are more open and stony (rock pegs essential) and furthest from the toilet block. Les Osiers is ideal for canoe excursions on the Tarn with canoe trips organised on site. The road to the site is winding but can be negotiated with care by larger units. A footbridge links the site with the village, where there is a small supermarket.

This area is renowned for adventure sports and, apart from canoeing, other popular activities here include rock climbing, riding, mountain biking, canyoning and potholing. For the real enthusiast, a 30 km. two day canoe trip is available as far as Les Baumes Basses with a free bivouac at Saint Chély-du-Tarn. Fishing is also understandably popular (permit required). There are some shops, cafés and restaurants in Sainte Enimie and Ispagnac. Aven Armand also merits a visit, and is one of France’s most spectacular cave systems, having been discovered in 1897 and open to the public since 1927.
