Camping Pyrénées Natura

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Pyrénées Natura

Pyrénées Natura, at an altitude of 1,000 m. on the edge of the national park, is the perfect site for lovers of nature. The 66 pitches (47 for tourers), all with electricity (3-10A), are in a landscaped area with 75 varieties of trees and shrubs – but they do not spoil the fantastic views. A traditional-style building houses the reception, bar and indoor games/reading room.

There is a small, well-stocked shop in the former watermill. Prices are reasonable, and homemade bread can be purchased. There is a small beach on the river belonging to the site for supervised water play. Discover the countryside on foot, bicycle or mountain bike, including Pic du Midi, le cirque de Gavarnie, Pont d’Espagne, and not forgetting the Hautacam, Col de Tourmalet, Soulor, Aubisque.

The owners aim is that you return home feeling at peace with the world and having learnt something about the area and its flora and fauna, especially the birds which soar above the site. Pyrénées Natura belongs to the prestigious Via Natura group of 17 campsites in France, committed to eco-tourism principles.
