Looking for a family holiday where mountains, Mediterranean beaches and a peaceful natural setting all come together? Camping Les Albères is a lovely choice in Laroque-des-Albères, at the foot of the Albères mountain range and around 10 kilometres from the Mediterranean coast.
What makes it particularly appealing? The resort has a substantial aquatic area with an outdoor pool, a covered heated pool, waterslide, counter-current river, whirlpool and paddling facilities. So, even when the weather is not perfect for the beach, there is plenty of water-based entertainment onsite.
The atmosphere is greener and calmer than at the large seaside resorts, yet Argelès-sur-Mer and its sandy beaches are easily reached by car. The village of Laroque-des-Albères is only around 800 metres away, making it easy to combine campsite life with a stroll into a traditional Catalan village.
Families with children from around 4 to 17 years are particularly well suited here. Younger children have a kids’ club, playground and shallow-water facilities, while teenagers can enjoy sports, table tennis, the multisports area and dedicated summer activities. Adults can relax with a drink, enjoy the restaurant or head into the mountains for a walk.
And what about sightseeing? This is where Les Albères really shines. Collioure, the Côte Vermeille, the Vallée des Tortues, the French-Spanish border and the spectacular Pyrenean countryside are all within easy reach.

Click to enlargeThe surroundings
Camping Les Albères sits at the foot of the Albères massif, where the eastern Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean. Within 15 kilometres, the landscape changes beautifully between wooded foothills, cork-oak and mimosa woodland, vineyards, gently rolling meadows and mountain streams. Towards the coast, the terrain opens into the Roussillon plain and Mediterranean shoreline around Argelès-sur-Mer. The combination of mountains, forest, vineyards and sea makes this corner of southern France particularly attractive for walking, cycling and family excursions.

Tip from our team
Use Camping Les Albères as a base for two different styles of holiday. Spend some days enjoying the pools and facilities without moving the car, then dedicate other days to discovering the mountains, villages and Mediterranean coast. That balance is one of the reasons this location works so well for families. If you are travelling with younger children, make the aquatic area part of your daily routine. The kids will love it. The combination of an outdoor pool, covered heated pool, paddling facilities, waterslide, counter-current river and whirlpool gives children plenty to do, while parents can choose a quieter moment around the pool. The covered heated pool is particularly useful on cooler days. I would also take advantage of the campsite’s proximity to Laroque-des-Albères itself. The village is close enough for an easy outing, and the local area has family-friendly walks designed around games and discovery. One particularly attractive route is a roughly three-kilometre family walk through the old village and surrounding countryside. For a wildlife day, the Vallée des Tortues in Sorède is an excellent choice, especially with younger children. It is only a few minutes away and combines animals, educational activities, play areas and nature. Beach lovers should head towards Argelès-sur-Mer, while those looking for something more atmospheric should continue towards Collioure. For teenagers, I would also check the summer sports and youth programme on arrival, as activities and entertainment are strongest during July and August. Finally, leave room for a mountain morning. The Albères foothills begin virtually at the campsite, so you do not need to plan an elaborate expedition to experience the landscape. A walk followed by an afternoon around the pool is an ideal Les Albères day.

*A pleasant stay, but a few points to improve**“Overall, we had a good vacation at this campsite, even though we are unfortunately leaving quite tired. The mobile home was **very clean and well-equipped**, even if the Loisirs models are quite narrow, especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The entertainment team is really a strong point: the activity leaders are very friendly, the activities are enjoyable, and we enjoyed participating in them. The children also had a lot of fun. We really appreciated **the aquatic area**, which is very pleasant. However, it would be appreciated to have a clock near the pools in order to be able to know the time and not miss certain activities. The main downside for us remains **the noise**. The mobile homes are quite close to each other and some pitches, like ours, are right next to the restaurant, the pool, and the playground. This creates a lot of noise in the evening. We were also surprised to hear the leaf blower as early as **8:30 AM**, even though it doesn't really get quiet until quite late at night. With short nights all week, we had a lot of trouble recovering. On the other hand, the campsite is **very well located**, close to Argelès, beautiful walks and La Roque-des-Albères, which we liked a lot. Despite its size, it keeps an appreciable family feel. In the end, a **rather mixed but overall positive review**: the children had a very good vacation, we enjoyed the pools and the entertainment, and the campsite has many assets. We simply regretted the lack of tranquility which greatly impacted our sleep.”

Magnificent 4-star campsite“Just an incredible campsite with a very good welcome, a top-notch and attentive team. We were in mobile home 131 which was clean and smelled good when we arrived. The surroundings are quiet and friendly with a beautiful view from the terrace. The pool, whether the one at the top or the one at the bottom, is great, just what is needed to have fun with our children. Can we talk about the restaurant? Oh yes, definitely a huge thank you to Michel the cook with his cooking, just a marvel, we really enjoyed ourselves. A big thank you to everyone for these two weeks spent at your campsite, thank you Arnaud, Rayan at the bar, and Michel and the whole team. Mobile home 131, see you next year. The Bozic family”
