Beach & nature4.5 kmGorge with high limestone walls through which the Aveyron winds, from Montricoux to Feneyrols. The finest view is from the Cirque de Bône above Saint-Antonin; the waymarked footpaths of the Gourgue and the plateau start right by your lodge.

Beach & nature7.2 kmSmall cave with stalactites just above Saint-Antonin, an old underground riverbed full of colourful crystals and formations. The guided tour takes forty-five minutes, and around the entrance there's a playground and picnic spot in the woods.

The XL wooden terrace is your lodge's extended living room. Breakfast in the morning sun, lunch in the shade of the awning, dinner by candlelight.
Cooking in the open air with a good glass of wine alongside — that's glamping at its best. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen has everything you need.
GUEST REVIEWS
Just got back this week from this fantastic campsite. The pitches are spacious, the facilities are always super clean and the staff are very friendly. We stayed 2 weeks at Les 3 Cantons. When we arrived, most of the guests were Dutch, mostly families with children up to around 14, some up to around 18. Everyone was really relaxed and enjoying the surroundings. The campsite is beautifully laid out, the planting is 'wild' and therefore varied, the pitches are large (especially those along the west side of the campsite where we stayed) and also level. There's a row of trees between all the pitches. This gives some shade everywhere in the afternoon, which was nice since we sometimes had 38 degrees of full sun. The sanitary building is tidy, with 7 washing-up spots, 2 handwashing spots and 1 washing machine (which sometimes meant a bit of a queue for laundry). 2x 3 showers and 2x 3 sinks. There's also a row of toilets, including 1 urinal. Overall the facilities are sufficient, but a bit tight for the number of people, which meant some waiting at peak times. The pool is very beautiful, fairly quiet during the day, busy at the end of the afternoon when everyone wants a quick dip after a day out. Boisterous teenagers throwing balls and doing bombs can make it a bit crowded at times, especially in the shallow end where the younger children play, but we didn't find it unpleasant. Lots to do nearby. From the campsite there's an Adventure centre where you can do various activities for a fee. We ourselves did the 10km canoe trip and the caving tour (definitely recommended, despite the 50 euro per person). Not far from the campsite there's also a treetop adventure course which is great too. Every evening there's also a 'regular' activity on the campsite. A bingo, football tournament, water polo and on Fridays the ghost walk! In the evening it's quiet from 22:00 and completely silent from 23:00, really lovely! The campsite is an absolute must. (PS, you do need to be okay with spiders, as there are an awful lot of ground spiders.) (PS2 for anyone who's read the whole review, there's no annoying rooster.)

Visited many campsites in many countries, but never seen one that looks this good. Whoever designed this campsite has a real eye for detail!! From the moment you arrive you can see how much attention has gone into the plants, shrubs and ornaments! The pitches are great too, not that standard little patch between hedges — here every pitch is unique! It's also nice that you can still access the site when reception is closed over lunch. All in all, a great choice for a short or long stay!

Really lovely campsite with fun activities that are a bit different from the standard entertainment team. Sporty things but also painting with natural materials. Staff and owners very friendly. Nice things to do nearby. Beautiful surroundings anyway. I'd go back in a heartbeat. My children, aged 7 and 4, thought it was fantastic too.
