Camp Château - Now offers stays at two châteaus in Southern France near Toulouse:

 

1) Château de Béduer - A 13th century medieval château fort totaling 13,000 sf on 20 acres with 2.5 acres of gardens and 2 outdoor pools overlooking the Cele valley in the Lot region. The chateau is located in Béduer, a 2.25 hour drive mostly north of Toulouse. A branch of the Camino de Santiago, the UNESCO World Heritage listed ancient pilgrimage route, runs directly past the château. 

 

2) L’Abbaye-Château de Camon - A former Benedictine abbey-turned-château dating back to at least 923 located in the Ariège region at the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains.  The property is located in a small, quiet village of Camon known as the Village of a Hundred Roses that hosts a Rose Festival the third Sunday in May. Camon is a 15 minute drive from the larger medieval town of Mirepoix with a weekly Monday market. The property has a beautiful courtyard, gardens overlooking the countryside, swimming pool and the original cloisters and 16th century spiral staircase of the abbey.​

 

Each camper has a twin bed and side table with under-the-bed storage and hanging space for clothes in the château. Campers stay in a shared room inside the château with typically 4-5 bunkmates to a room. At Château de Béduer, there are also a few glamping tents for 2 available. There are shared bathrooms and an additional shower room. Wifi is available in a section of the château. The stay includes all on-property meals & wine and activities, except for massages. For more information and the ability to book either property, click here.
