Things to do at La Garangeoire

The swimming pool is usually at the centre of a campsite holiday, and you can see why at La Garangeoire. You'll have a job to tear the children away from the lagoon with its own white sandy beach. La Garangeoire has four swimming pools, including a main outdoor pool, a pool under cover, a paddling pool and an activity pool with slides. The outdoor pools are heated for the whole season.

We have four large fishing lakes which cater for beginners and fishing experts. You can enjoy pedaloes, canoes, and rowing boats on the main lake of La Garangeoire. If you don't want to be on the lake, you can enjoy the trails around it. There are many hiking trails around the lake for you to explore on your own or join in with organised walks. Don't forget to take a tour of the chateau while you're there, and If you've ever fancied riding through trails in the forest, this is the time to try it. 

Of course, no campsite would be complete without tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, crazy golf, trampolines, go-karting, archery and many other mini activities. 

Enjoy varied cuisine at the high-quality campsite restaurant with creche, bars with Sky Sports TV, a takeaway and a supermarket.
