Large, shady pitches, and the children loved scrambling around in the forest behind. Although the facilities are recent, they are cleaned only once a day. The campsite was full, so cleanliness was not up to standard. Paper was also often missing, and it is a shame there is no soap. The dishwashing sinks are poorly arranged. However, we really enjoyed the bird-of-prey demonstration with Maxime and the morning tracking marmots and birds of prey with him.Translating
A campsite just as we like them: a great welcome at the campsite and at the bar, and an exceptional hike. We planned to stay one night but stayed several days because everything is so perfect.Translating
Quiet, well-maintained campsite. The only issue is that the toilets in the back area are insufficient: only two showers and two toilets for everyone. You normally have to wait.Translating
Very peaceful campsite, with shady pitches beside a river. Very clean bathrooms, exceptional service, and a bar serving delicious pizzas at more than reasonable prices. They also provide a ticket allowing you to park in Gavarnie.Translating
Very good campsite, with some lovely pitches in the shade of the trees or beside the stream. Immaculate facilities, plus excellent pizza.Translating
Great campsite, friendly welcome, and large, pleasant pitches. New, clean mixed-gender facilities. On-site restaurant and bread ordering. The campsite is well located for visiting the Cirque de Gavarnie. Free parking cards for the village are available at reception.Translating
Very nice site. The Wi-Fi password is available at the bar for 24 hours at a time. Note: the reception office is open from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. and from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.; otherwise, you will find the barrier locked. Once inside, you can leave or enter the site outside those hours.Translating
Magnificent campsite with a very warm welcome. Bar and pizza on site. Washing machine and dryer. Recent and particularly clean facilities. Perfect for cycling over the mountain passes or visiting Lac d’Ossoue, and only 3 km from the entrance to Gavarnie village.Translating
Good value, clean campsite with beautiful views of the mountains and right next to the river. Facilities are very new, clean and well organised. There's a bar on site which serves delicious pizzas. The only thing that could be improved was I couldn't find a water refill point that was separate from the waste point, but maybe I should have asked. Highly recommended
Very nice campsite beside the river, with information about the Cirque de Gavarnie, which is less than 15 minutes away. Very clean, modern facilities.Translating
Great! Beautiful place with views of the mountains and the Cirque de Gavarnie. Wonderful welcome. Very clean facilities. Area for emptying and filling your motorhome. You can order bread and pastries for the next day at the campsite bar. Fairly large pitches, with or without electricity. You can get a ticket so you do not have to pay for parking in central Gavarnie.Translating
Ideal! Right by the river, 6 min drive to the hiking spots & an amazing, clean, modern shower block with hot hot showers. €17.4 for a van & 2 people (no electricity) and that included a free parking pass to use at gavarnie
Beautiful place, small but very clean facilities (minor detail: no hand soap). Excellent welcome and explanations. You can get a ticket so you do not have to pay for parking in Gavarnie. Adequate pitch and beautiful view; bring an extension cord for electricity, as you may be far from the hookup. Excellent restaurant with great value for money! We recommend it!Translating
A magnificent campsite with a beautiful view of the Cirque de Gavarnie, beside the Gave, and starting points for lovely trails. The owners and staff are very welcoming. The restaurant’s Gers-style pizza is excellent. Highly recommended without hesitation +++Translating
We were passing through and planned to stay only one night. In fact, we committed to at least three nights because it is so quiet. The campsite and facilities are clean, as is the bar-restaurant, where everything is spotless. And the “Pain de Sucre” pizza is incredible. We ate very well and received a very warm welcome. We still haven’t left. Thanks to the whole team.Translating
Our favorite place! A human-scale campsite, thoughtfully designed to ensure campers have a very comfortable stay. And what a setting: a green haven nestled at the foot of the mountain, with the Gave flowing directly below as a natural soundtrack. Many thanks to Stéphanie for her welcome, kindness, availability, attentiveness, and advice! We will return!Translating
Marjorie and her little family are adorable! I was able to park my van in their courtyard with my dog, and use electricity to recharge all my batteries. Thank you very much, and lots of cuddles for Yumi.Translating
Free large parking area with a bus stop. Across the road there is a lovely outdoor swimming pool [open] and a small lake with a walking path around it.Translating
Very quiet spot, but not recommended if you are traveling alone. The approach was no problem for an L2H2, although it was partly very narrow but manageable. There are no fish in the pond. Little mobile reception. Picnic benches, a playground, and free fresh water are available. Very, very dark at night. A few hikers pass by in the morning. Nobody complained. We stayed one night.Translating
Lovely and relaxing spot surrounded by nature. The area is quiet and easy to reach. There’s a fountain, a few tables, and space to grill. Even though it’s well equipped and close to the road, it still feels secluded enough to avoid crowds. I slept in a camperized car on a Thursday night, and it was very peaceful. In the morning, a few people arrived to start hiking from there. There are many trails to explore, all of them very beautiful. There’s also plenty of space for parking vans and cars without being too close to each other—around four vehicles maximum. Definitely an amazing place.Translating
This is a gorgeous spot. We drove up here in our Sprinter, which is about 7.5 meters long, so the drive up was a bit tricky and we had to reverse to get around corners, but we made it up. So don’t take the previous comments about narrow roads lightly. We were here during a thunderstorm, which was amazing. Lots of places for barbecues and many lovely hikes nearby. Worth the difficult drive up.Translating
