Go on an adventure in the Réserve Africaine de Sigean
From Camping Seasonova Barberousse, it takes you about 30 to 40 minutes to drive to the Réserve Africaine de Sigean, one of the largest wildlife parks in Europe. Around 3,800 animals live here on nearly 300 hectares, right in the heart of the lagoon landscape of the Aude coast. You drive through the reserve by car and come face to face with rhinos, lions, and hippos, without fences but from the safety of your own vehicle. After that, you continue your visit on foot along different zones with birds, reptiles, and smaller animals. Half a day is often not enough to discover everything, making it an impressive and varied day trip from the campsite.
Discover the lagoons around Gruissan

Along the coast and the surrounding étangs, you will discover a unique area where water and wind set the rhythm together.

The open lagoons around Gruissan and Narbonne attract both sports enthusiasts and nature lovers with their vast water surfaces and constant wind.

Summary created out of 128 reviews
The campsite is within walking distance of the centre of Gruissan, making shops and restaurants easily accessible. The reception staff are regularly described as friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities are clean, although guests note that they are outdated and the shower temperature cannot be adjusted – which is particularly unpleasant in warm weather. The campsite has limited shade on the pitches and few facilities such as animation or a swimming pool, making it best suited for those seeking peace and planning their own activities in the surrounding area.

I stayed for a week from July 26 to August 2. I don't recommend this campground—there are too many mosquitoes, the bar is closed, the kids' water play area is closed, the inflatable castle is unusable, and there's absolutely nothing going on. It's completely dead—no entertainment or anything.
When you arrive at the campground, there are even cobwebs, and then when you’re leaving, a very shameless man comes by and even picks up a single hair—as if to make you think they’re doing a thorough cleaning. The man was very unpleasant.I’ve been to many campsites, but none as terrible as this one. I definitely don’t recommend it—I certainly won’t be going back. My son ended up with a respiratory infection and a virus because of their poor hygiene. If I could give them a 0, I would.this is a translation, click here for the original
Estuve una semana del 26 de julio al 2 de agosto no aconsejo este camping ay muchos mosquitos el bar está cerrado la zona acuática para niños cerrada el ,el castillo confiable nada no hay nada de nada esta todo muerto ni animaciones ni nada .

No puedo darles un 0 sino se lo daría. -

We booked our stay from July 31 to August 15. It was an extremely disappointing experience that we absolutely do not recommend.
The low points of our stay:
- Lack of honesty upon arrival: We were required to pay for the entire stay in advance, only to be told—once the money had been collected—that the children’s water play area was out of service and the restaurant was closed. Yet these were key amenities that had led us to choose this campground in the first place.
- Disastrous hygiene: The restrooms (showers and toilets) are very dirty, full of sand and hair. Despite their claims that everything is cleaned regularly, a used tampon remained in the restroom and was never removed after our arrival.
- Comfort issues: Even though it’s over 30 °C outside, the shower water is scalding hot. We asked the front desk to lower the temperature, but they claim there’s nothing they can do.
Paying top dollar for closed facilities and such poor hygiene is unacceptable. Stay away!this is a translation, click here for the original
Séjour réservé du 31 juillet au 15 août. Une expérience extrêmement décevante que nous ne recommandons absolument pas.
Les points noirs de notre séjour :
- Manque d'honnêteté à l'arrivée : On nous exige de payer la totalité du séjour avant de nous annoncer, une fois l'argent encaissé, que les jeux d'eau pour enfants sont hors service et que le restaurant est fermé. Ce sont pourtant des équipements clés pour lesquels nous avions choisi ce camping.
- Hygiène catastrophique : Les sanitaires (douches et toilettes) sont très sales, pleins de sable et de cheveux. Malgré leurs affirmations que tout est nettoyé régulièrement, un tampon hygiénique usagé est resté dans les locaux sans jamais être retiré depuis notre arrivée.
- Problème de confort : Alors qu'il fait plus de 30 °C dehors, l'eau des douches est brûlante. Nous avons demandé à l'accueil de baisser la température, mais ils prétendent ne rien pouvoir faire.
Payer le prix fort pour des équipements fermés et un manque d'hygiène pareil est inacceptable. Fuyez ! -

Avoid at all costs—No consideration for disabilities or respect for guests
I do not recommend Camping Barbe Rousse at all. If you’re looking for peace and quiet or an accessible environment, you might as well stay home.
The site is absolutely not accessible to people with disabilities (a very difficult experience for my oldest son, who uses a wheelchair). Worse still, when we asked at the front desk where we could take him for a walk in the area, the staff was unable to answer us. The staff is completely unresponsive and utterly indifferent to guests’ needs.
To top it all off: the accommodations were dirty upon our arrival, the bathrooms (showers and toilets) were very poorly maintained, and there was constant noise at night despite the presence of a security guard who serves no purpose.
I don’t understand how this facility can still be open to the public. Avoid it at all costs, whether you’re a person with a disability or any vacationer looking for some rest.this is a translation, click here for the original
À fuir absolument – Aucune prise en compte du handicap ni du respect des clients
Je ne recommande pas du tout le Camping Barbe Rousse. Si vous cherchez de la tranquillité ou un cadre adapté, autant rester chez vous.
Le site n'est absolument pas adapté aux personnes en situation de handicap (expérience très difficile pour mon fils aîné en fauteuil roulant). Pire encore, quand nous avons demandé à l'accueil où nous pouvions aller nous promener avec lui aux alentours, l'équipe a été incapable de nous répondre. Un personnel pas du tout à l'écoute et complètement indifférent aux besoins des clients.
Pour couronner le tout : un logement sale à notre arrivée, des sanitaires (douches et WC) très mal entretenus, et du bruit continuel la nuit malgré la présence d'un vigile qui ne sert à rien.
Je ne comprends pas comment cet établissement peut encore être ouvert au public. À éviter à tout prix, que ce soit pour des personnes en situation de handicap ou pour n'importe quel vacancier en quête de repos. -

I’m leaving a negative review for this campground.
Just four days before my departure, I was informed that my dog was allowed, but that he couldn’t be left alone in the mobile home—not even while I went grocery shopping.
This information should have been made clear at the time of booking.
As a single mom with two young children, this put me in a difficult situation, and I ultimately had to arrange for someone to look after my dog for the entire duration of my stay, which resulted in additional costs and a lot of planning.
I chose this campground mainly for its water play area, which I found more suitable and safer than a pool with young children.
Unfortunately, it was under maintenance, and this wasn’t mentioned at the time of booking.
No compensation!
The campground is also poorly located: you have to drive to get to the beach or do most activities.
The mobile home is poorly laid out, with very little storage space for belongings.
The patio is in direct sunlight for most of the morning, and we were overrun by ants inside the mobile home—I hope you don’t drink your coffee with sugar, or else you’ll have an invasion.
There are no activities, which is very disappointing for a Camping Paradis.
There’s also no on-site restaurant.
Other downsides: the gate closes at 11 p.m., which is pretty restrictive when you’re on vacation.
And the end-of-stay cleaning is checked very strictly—I didn’t have any issues, but some neighbors did.
On the other hand, I’ve always loved Gruissan and its surroundings, ever since I was a child.
The town is beautiful, but I won’t be returning to this campground and I don’t recommend it.this is a translation, click here for the original
Je laisse un avis défavorable sur ce camping.
Quatre jours seulement avant mon départ, on m'a informée que mon chien était accepté, mais qu'il ne pouvait pas rester seul dans le mobil-home, même le temps de faire les courses.
Cette information aurait dû être précisée dès la réservation.
En tant que maman solo avec deux jeunes enfants, cela m'a mise en difficulté et j'ai finalement dû faire garder mon chien pendant toute la durée de mon séjour, ce qui m'a occasionné des frais supplémentaires et beaucoup d'organisation.
J'avais choisi ce camping principalement pour son aire de jeux aquatique, que je trouvais plus adaptée et plus sécurisante qu'une piscine avec des enfants en bas âge.
Malheureusement, elle était en maintenance, sans que cela soit indiqué lors de la réservation.
Aucun dédommagement !
Le camping est également mal situé : il faut prendre la voiture pour aller à la plage ou faire la plupart des activités.
Le mobil-home est mal agencé, avec très peu de rangements pour les affaires.
La terrasse est en plein soleil une grande partie de la matinée, et nous avons été envahis par les fourmis a l'intérieur du mobil-home j'espère que vous buvez pas votre café avec du sucre sinon invasion .
Il n'y a aucune animation, ce qui est très décevant pour un Camping Paradis.
Il n'y a pas non plus de restaurant sur place.
Autres points négatifs : le portail ferme à 23 h, ce qui est assez contraignant lorsque l'on est en vacances.
Et le ménage de fin de séjour est contrôlé de façon très stricte moi je n'est pas eu de soucis mais des voisins si .
En revanche, j'adore toujours Gruissan et ses alentours depuis enfant .
La ville est magnifique, mais je ne reviendrai pas dans ce camping et je ne le recommande pas.
