Situated 25 km to the north of Carcassonne on the south facing slopes of the Montagne Noire, La Vitarelle is in the heart of Cathar country, close to the Haut-Languedoc.

 



At 500 m above sea level, it enjoys both Mediterranean days and cool, pleasant nights. La Vitarelle offers naturist holidays as close to nature as possible.
There are merely 25 pitches within its 13 hectares (30 acres), surrounded by vaste tracts of pine, chesnut and other woodlands.

The surrounding area boasts meandering streams, impressive waterfalls (including the 90 m high falls at Cubserviès), the legendary Cabrespine pit (deeper than the Eiffel tower), and wild, ancient landscapes.

A collective barbecue allows you to grill your own meats and, once a week, a group evening meal is prepared for those who wish it. You can organise activities if you wish, and evenings can be spent in convivial company, around the fire and under the stars.

 

 


Walking or VTT (mountain biking) are possible on site or in the vicinity
Lake Laprade (90 ha) only a few kms away, allows sail boarding.
All main services are on hand at Cuxac-Cabardès, 4 km away. There is a doctor, nurse, post and telecommunications, and a shop). Bread is delivered daily to the camp site. Cans, bottles and other waste materials are sorted on site.
