Pierre-Francois and Clare Dupond are waiting to
welcome you to Castel Val de
Cantobre.....situated in the heart of the Grands
Causses Regional Park, not far from the Tarn
Gorge and the Cevennes National Park.

Just over 30 years ago Pierre-Francois' parents
found what they thought would make the perfect
base for a camping and caravan site....a medieval
farmhouse with outbuildings, next to the Dourbie
River with land on the spectacular valleyside.
Today we offer you the opportunity of enjoying
the breathtaking scenery that surrounds us, as
the piches are arranged on terraces looking down
the valley and over to the cliff like tops of the
gorge. Certain pitches have the privilege of a view
across to Cantobre village perched on it's rocky
promontory. The farm buildings now house many
of the facilities....they're certainly not lacking in
character.....the oldest wall dates back to the 11th
century ! !

From the moment you cross the bridge over the
Dourbie and enter our reception we will do our
best to look after you until you have to leave us.
On arrival you'll be presented with a folder full of
information about the site and the region. We'll
then accompany you to your accommodation or
pitch. Every morning you can opt for the luxury of
having freshly baked bread and croissants
delivered to your doorstep. Cleaniliness of our
toilets and showers is extremely important for us
as we know clean facilities are high on the list of
priorities for most campers/caravanners....our
staff are on the spot in the washblocks practically
all day to ensure the facilities are up to your
expectations. To keep you occupied and
entertained, we have a varied events programme
all season adapted to the visitors at any one
time...but we also make sure those just wanting to
relax are also respected


Mentioned as early as the 12th century, the fief of Vellas was a hideout for forgers in the 15th century. It is thus easy to understand that the architecture of the premises seems to feature an incredible number of hiding-places, which are all now nicely set off for the different facilities of the campsite. Between the Dourbie and the Causse, the facilities are worthy of an exceptional site.
