Domaine Le Poteau is a small-scale campsite in a remote part of the Gers countryside, in the heart of Gascony. Scottish owners Alistair and Fiona have turned their small campsite into a charming camping destination for those seeking peace and quiet.

Show more

Welcome!

The campsite is located a little outside the village of Castelnau-d'Auzan. You will be camping in a perfectly tended orchard, far away from big cities and tourist attractions. So you can count on finding the peace you're looking for here. The small scale also contributes to this. Because of the Scottish owners, you will encounter many British people at the campsite, but French and Dutch people also know how to find Domaine Le Poteau. In 2019, the sanitary facilities at the campsite were renovated. So you can use modern and very well-maintained sanitary facilities.

Relaxation at the campsite

A short distance from the pitches is a small swimming pool. This pool is too small for swimming laps in. If you do want to go swimming, there is an outdoor swimming pool in the village. With a background as a chef, Alistair enjoys getting behind the stove for his campers. If there is enough interest, a weekly dinner is organised in the orchard.

Authentic villages

In the immediate vicinity of Domaine Le Poteau are the most beautiful French villages. 17 kilometres away, for example, is Fourcès. In this fortified town, the houses are built in a circle inside the city walls. Montréal-du-Gers (12 kilometres away) and Larressingle (23 kilometres away) are also worth a visit.

This is not our first visit to ‘Le Poteau’ and most definitely will not be our last. Fiona and Alasdair are fantastic hosts and their genuine love of the region and local produce is palpable. The campsite is in a fabulous location with lovely views towards Castelnau, the pitches are really well-spaced providing privacy not enjoyed at other sites and the newly-renovated shower facilities superb. I’m stopping here because I want to ensure that there is space available when we want to book next time!

We spent a fabulous week at the campsite last year. It is well laid out with plenty of room between pitches. Good facilities that are immaculately clean and kept clean all day. Lovely to just chill at this quiet site and use the pool, also lots to do in the local area, some great markets and a short walk into the village where you can buy supplies. It’s a lovely area, quiet lanes to walk or bike on and a great selection of off road tracks. The owners are excellent hosts, very welcoming and really helpful. I loved the donkeys. We are looking forward to going back.

Fabulous! What a beautiful, peaceful, idyllic campsite. The pitches are scattered amongst the abundant trees and shrubbery so there\'s lots of lovely shade and an abundance of peaceful places. The hosts, Fiona and Alasdair, can\'t do enough for the guests but still manage to be un-obtrusive. We loved taking part in the communal meal, provided a couple of days a week. The home-cooked food is delicious and the setting in the orchard under the stars is just perfect. They even do a delivery of lovely fresh bread and pastries from the baker in the village in the morning! There are also 2 lovely gites tucked away on a secluded part of the site. We have stayed in the larger one a couple of times. It\'s super comfy, spotless and well-equipped, although to be honest we spent most of our time sitting outside enjoying the view. We\'re going back for our fourth visit this year. Can\'t wait.

We stayed here last year, and really could hardly bear to leave. An absolute gem of a site, the hosts are so friendly and thoughtful, As well as being great cooks,- don’t miss the chance to join one of the hosted dinners! . The location is perfect, and if you can bear to drag yourself off the site, the surrounding area is fantastic for walking, or meandering around a market stall, stocking up on croissants and cheeses. We will be going back as soon as we can, and we can’t wait...
