Le Camping de Tautavel

Le Camping de Tautavel is in Tautavel, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, on the route d’Estagel, less than a five-minute walk from the village shops. It is run by a Catalan family and has only 24 pitches, giving it the feel of a small charming campsite with a view of the Torre del Far. It is rated 3 stars and is a member of the national outdoor hospitality federation and of the departmental network Campings 66.

The Prehistory Museum is about 1 km away, the Gouleyrous gorges 2.5 km, the EcoZonia wildlife park 12 km, the Galamus gorges 27 km and the Mediterranean half an hour by car. For accommodation, there are air-conditioned mobile homes with two or three bedrooms, a studio chalet for one or two people, two furnished canvas lodges and pitches for tents, vans, caravans and motorhomes. Pets are accepted, vaccinated and on a lead.

Opening period: this is a seasonal campsite. The published 2026 calendar distinguishes a low season from March to 26 June and from 29 August to 1 November, and a high season from 27 June to 28 August.
