La Source - a luxury campsite between Aubrac and Cantal

A dream campsite by the Lac de Sarrans lake
La Source is a high-end campsite which deserves to be so. Located 650 metres above sea level, having taken the minor roads of Cantal or Aubrac, where each new bend enables you to enjoy exceptional countryside, holidaymakers can thus discover this heaven on Earth.
Located at the gateway to the Presqu’île de Laussac peninsula, a strip of land which plunges into the waters of the Lac de Sarrans lake, this 5-hectare campsite is opposite a remarkable site, classified and protected between the Aubrac plateau and the Monts du Cantal.

Ranging from standard to out-of-the-ordinary, the accommodation offering includes lodges on stilts, tepees, mobile homes, bungalows and chalets with vintage and stay-at-home surroundings. These comfortable and spacious holiday rentals are integrated perfectly into the surrounding wooded setting. Located along the lake and in terraces, the majority of campers enjoy a magnificent view over the lake.

A genuine fjord of 1,000 hectares of water in the mountains, the Lac de Sarrans lake measures nearly 35 kilometres long.
