A setting between lake and scrubland
Village du Bosc spreads across 80 hectares of wooded land in Octon, with a view that's worth the trip: the Salagou lake and its famous red earth. This is a protected natural area, far from tarmac and factory campsites.
The 58 pitches are spacious and shaded, spread through vegetation that leaves privacy between the tents and caravans. This is full naturism, mandatory across the whole site, designed for families just as much as for couples or regulars of the practice.
Accommodation and rates
On the budget side, expect between 31.50 and 39 euros a night for a pitch (tent, caravan or motorhome), and from 46 to 94 euros for an already set up rental on site. The campsite is open from April 27 to September 23, not beyond.
One thing worth knowing before you go: check in time is set at 2:30pm and closely followed. This isn't the kind of place where you show up unannounced in the middle of the night.
Life on site
The heated 20 meter pool, with its area for kids, is one of the perks that comes up most often in visitor feedback. The restaurant offers a communal meal every week, around 15 euros, a friendly moment that brings quite a crowd together on the grounds.
To get moving, there are marked naturist hiking trails, from 1h30 to 3 hours of walking depending on the mood, as well as mountain biking and a pétanque and boules court. The campsite also organizes themed evenings, regional meals and pétanque tournaments during the season.
Free wifi, an on site bakery, separate parking: everyday essentials are covered without needing to leave the site.
Access and practical info
The welcome is regularly mentioned as one of the place's strong points, especially that of Nathalie and her team, described as warm and attentive. The overall mood leans toward family friendly and relaxed rather than party oriented.
Disabled access exists but stays limited depending on the terrain's layout. The campsite is private, with a paid entry, and booking ahead is needed to be sure of a spot, especially in high season.
