our camping site looking towards " La Cité " the medieval fortified town
of Carcassonne and Carcassonne town centre. On the horizon you will see
the Pyrenees and on a clear day the peaks of mountains in Spain and
Andorra. This view is fantastic at night as the castle in Carcassonne is
lit up and all the city lights of Carcassonne-town twinkle like tiny
coloured jewels on black velvet. Photos:2003. |

camping pitches to the East with electricity. The castles of Lastours
are 10 kms over the ridge of trees in the background. Not a lot of shade
in this part of the camping site but the views of Carcassonne and valley
of Aude from these emplacements on the campsite are absolutely fantastic!
(Photo:2004) And
on the 14th July, from

DELIMITED CAMPING PITCHES
Some campsites or campgrounds have hedged or fenced-off camping pitches
or emplacements which are allocated to you to site your caravan or tent
but we use a "camping zone" which is a large area behind and to the East
of the farmhouse, which is dedicated for camping. Click
here to see a plan view of the camping terrain. It means you may camp
wherever you think is a good spot. Some prefer a lot of shade, and others
demand the baking sun! Whether you enjoy an awesome sunrise or a breathtaking
sunset, you'll find just the right place to relax and set up camp. Is Camping
La Royale one of the better touring caravan sites in Southern France? Touring
Caravans, Motor Homes and Camping Cars are very welcome at La Royale BUT
before you decide on staying at our camping site, please see our
Questions page regarding the use of chemicals. You
can dispose of your kitchen sink or other waste water here, but we must
say NO to certain chemical products. |
| |
| WHAT IS CAMPING
AT LA ROYALE GOING TO COST AND CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES?
See our
Camping Site Tariff page for full
details but here below are some typical examples of 2008 camping pitch prices.
The price for 7-days camping shown in brackets includes our 2008 camping
promotion. |
| |

aged 6 or over & one infant aged 5 or less without electricity

|
SO HOW CAN I WORK OUT THE TOTAL PRICE FOR CAMPING?
Remember that I ignore your camping vehicle or tent when calculating the
camping price. The camping price is not based on whether you
bring tents, or touring caravans, or motor homes or camping cars whatever
their size. It is also free to park your car. My camping pitch prices are
based solely on the number of people (children aged 5 or less are free)
and that price remains the same, regardless of the time of year. And don't
forget about our camping promotion, which is: Pay for 6 days Camping and
get 1 Day Free, explained in more detail below. |
| |
|
OUR 2008 CAMPING PITCH PROMOTION.
If you pay for 6 days camping you get one day FREE,
so when you are working out your camping pitch prices, comparing quotes
from other camping sites and reckoning the overall cost of your camping
holiday, please don't forget about my camping holiday offer. The "7
days camping for the price of 6" promotion was very popular
in 2006 and 2007, so we are doing it again for 2008. |
| |
|
HOW BIG IS YOUR RIG?
We currently do not have mobile-homes or fixed caravans for rental but we
can accommodate large (within reason) camper vans, motor homes, large touring
caravans and big tents and at no extra supplement. Although, if you do
bring something enormous like a large motor-home towing a trailer, your
choice of camping pitch locations will be limited by virtue of the accessibility
to the general camping terrain such as to permit turning, reversing and
any gradient issues. A good example was last year when we had a large motor
home towing 2 racing cars on a trailer. They had to park-up where it was
best for the vehicles, all things considered.
In any event, campground emplacements are strictly
limited so that everybody enjoys a lot of space and the sanitary
facilities are never crowded. |
| |
|
ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO OR FROM CAMPING SITES IN SPAIN,
ANDORRA OR IN THE PYRENEES?
Because a camping pitch at Domaine La Royale, just outside the village of
Villardonnel, near Carcassonne, could be your ideal campsite location to
stop in Southern France and spend a couple of days en route on your way
to or from camping sites in Spain, Andorra or
in the French Pyrenees (as many campers do). For example,
you are 3 hours away by car from the Costa Brava in Spain which is a nice
leisurely day's drive with the caravan in tow. So why not take a break from
all the travelling and set up camp for a day or two here at our camping
site and go exploring the local mountain villages and lakes in the Montagne
Noire or visit the magical medieval walled city in Carcassonne and the Cathare
castles in Lastours? If you are looking for a camping site in the South
of France near Spain, Andorra and the Pyrenees, our campsite near Carcassonne
in Southern France might be a great place to camp for a day or two? |
| |
|
IS CAMPING DOMAINE LA ROYALE ONE OF THE PREMIER CAMPING SITES? Read what
campers have said about our campsite and camping facilities on the
Guest Book
page and for camping prices and
reservation details, please see our
Camping Site Tariff page.

YOUR CAMPING WEATHER FORECAST.
What's our camping weather like? Our region of Aude,
Languedoc-Roussillon, does have a lot of sunshine and typically, it's sunny
with blue skies, hot and dry in June, July and August. Please have a look
at our
Temperatures
page which gives an average temperature in the shade here at La Royale,
around mid-afternoon. Average rainfall in June, July and August amounts
to just a hour or so, once every 7-10 days. Camping in the month of May
is very nice too, still hot and sunny but a little more rain which is great
for the camping sites' grass which is always kept neat and regularly cut. |
| |
|
WILL IT RAIN TOMORROW?
In the South of France, it is not uncommon to go for
two or maybe three weeks without any rain during the Summer months. Fantastic
for camping, especially those people camping in tents, but not so good for
my shrubs! To help campers make the most of their holiday, I normally post
a daily weather-forecast for the Carcassonne area on the notice-board in
the campers' sanitary facility, to help you plan your camping holiday ahead. |
| |
|
WHEN IS LA ROYALE'S CAMPING SITE OPEN? Our
campsite is closed during September, October, November, December, January,
February, March and April. Officially, Camping La Royale is open from
the 25th
May until 24th August, inclusive. |
| |
|
CAMPSITE RESERVATIONS.
To offer the widest choice of camping pitches to those of you who have reserved
camping space, our advice is to arrive at lunchtime or just afterwards,
because those campers departing that day will have already left and campers
without a reservation do not normally arrive until later in the afternoon.
Our camping site reception opens at 10.30AM. Please check-in no later than
7.00PM. |
| |
TAKE THE BEST ROUTE.
The route via Villardonnel
commonly published in the annual camping guides is NOT suitable for
large or articulated vehicles. Those of you bringing large motor-homes or
twin-wheeled touring caravans please see our
Directions page which describes
two other routes to La Royale campground. If you are in any doubt which
route to take, choose one of the alternative routes for longer and wider
vehicles and don't attempt to drive through the village of Villardonnel.
Motoring for the first/second/third time around France? A few
motoring tips can be found on our
Driving in France
page. One or two of them might make you smile :-) There is a driving tip about a
potentially dangerous "I'm towing a 40' trailer" syndrome, written
for the benefit of motorcyclists. |

| READ OUR QUESTIONS
PAGE.
Before you make a camping pitch reservation, please look through the
frequently-asked-questions on our
Questions ??? page so that you are fully-conversant with our
camping site and La Royale's general facilities. |

clearly in the morning daylight, the old city of Carcassonne and castle
is readily visible as the sun moves across the sky from about 4pm onwards.
The medieval walled city of Carcassonne is about 20 km by road from La Royale
(25 mins in the car). The other 5 below were taken of La Royale in May 2007. |
