A great campground in a beautiful part of the Alps. First of all, the climate here. Compared to the rest of France, it’s a lovely 30 degrees during the day in August, and at night it cools down to around 15 degrees. This is due to its location at an altitude of 1,200 meters—perfect!
There’s plenty to do for the kids in the area, and when it comes to biking and hiking, you’ll never get bored here.
The campground is very well maintained by Ed and Astrid. It’s small-scale, and everything is taken care of with passion and attention to detail. In short, this campground comes highly recommended.this is a translation, click here for the original
Geweldige camping in een prachtig gebied van de Alpen. Allereerst het klimaat hier. Ten opzichte van de rest van Frankrijk is het hier in augustus overdag heerlijk een graad of 30 en ‘s nachts koelt het af naar naar circa 15 graden. Dit komt door de ligging op 1200 meter hoogte, perfect!
In de omgeving is heel veel te doen voor de kids en qua fietsen en wandelen verveelt het hier niet.
De camping wordt zeer goed verzorgd door Ed en Astrid. Kleinschalig en met passie en aandacht wordt alles bijgehouden. Kortom een aanrader deze camping. -

Quiet campground. Friendly welcome. Clean restrooms. It’s always a shame when toilet paper isn’t provided. Several hiking trails start at the campground. There’s a small restaurant on the campground.

Rustige camping. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Proper sanitair. Altijd spijtig als er geen toiletpapier voorzien wordt. Er beginnen verschillende wandelwegen op de camping. Klein restaurant op de camping.

The operators are super nice, the site is small and very lovingly laid out, we were completely satisfied. The pitches are very large and nicely shaded. There is also a meadow for tents. More hikers come here anyway. Sometimes you can hear motorcycles from the main road. But there aren't that many passing by. The only drawback: there is only 3G (if at all) in some places and WiFi usage costs a fee. We were offline for 3 days. That was nice too.

Die Betreiber sind supernett, der Platz ist klein und sehr liebevoll angelegt, wir waren rundum zufrieden. Die Plätze sind sehr groß und schön schattig. Es gibt auch eine Wiese für Zelte. Hierher kommen ohnehin insgesamt mehr Wanderer. Manchmal hört man die Motorräder von der Hauptstraße. Aber es kommen nicht so viele vorbei. Einziges Manko: Es gibt nur 3G (wenn überhaupt) an einigen Plätzen und WLan Nutzung kostet Gebühren. Wir waren dann mal offline für 3 Tage. Das war auch schön.

La Routo 2025.
As a hiker on the Routo, I don't have a tent and spend the night in a gîte or hotel, if that's not an option. I'm not a big fan of camping, but Lou Passavous, run by Astrid and Ed, is an exception! It's located on the GR, in Le Vernet, on the banks of the Bes river. Ed and Astrid offer an overnight stay in a gypsy caravan with all the comforts of a hotel room, a clothes line and a deckchair to soak up the sun after a shower and laundry chores :) Meals are restaurant-style, with homemade products, boeuf bourguignon, tarte tatin... And the owners are very friendly!
Spend the night there, you'll love it!this is a translation, click here for the original
La Routo 2025.
Randonneuse sur la Routo, je n'ai pas de tente et passe la nuit en gîte ou à l'hôtel, si pas d'autre possibilité. Je n'aime guère l'ambiance camping mais le Lou Passavous, tenu par Astrid et Ed, est une exception ! Il est situé sur le GR, au Vernet, au bord de la rivière Bes. Ed et Astrid proposent la nuitée en roulotte avec tout le confort d'une chambre d'hôtel, un étendage à disposition ainsi qu'un transat pour profiter du soleil après la douche et la corvée de lessive :) Le repas est du niveau d'un restaurant avec produits faits maison, boeuf bourguignon, tarte tatin...Et les propriétaires sont très affables !
Allez y passer la nuit, vous allez adorer !
