Family camping in the Tarn (81)
Are you looking for a campsite for a family holiday in the Tarn? In Serviès, Camping Le Rousieux offers a natural, intimate setting where parents and children can alternate between swimming, activities, exploring and relaxing, without having to pack every day full.
HOLIDAYS DESIGNED FOR YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE
Why choose a small, intimate campsite for your family holiday?
When travelling with children, the success of the holiday does not depend solely on the number of activities on offer. It depends above all on the opportunity to create days tailored to each person’s actual pace, with time to get active, socialise and relax.
At Camping Le Rousieux, you can make the most of the site’s facilities and activities whilst still enjoying a flexible schedule. A swim, a visit with the ponies or an activity can thus become the highlight of the day, without getting in the way of a nap, a leisurely meal or some quiet time around your accommodation.
Before booking, start by identify your family’s practical needs : the children’s ages, sleeping arrangements, essential equipment and desired level of comfort. Then take a look at the Accommodation at Le Rousieux Campsite to compare the options available for your household.
For days spent outdoors, you can also check out our Ideas for family days out and visits in the Tarn.
Make room for quiet moments
When you’re with children, a successful day doesn’t necessarily have to be packed from morning till night. Plan one main activity, then leave time for free play, a swim, a nap or simply enjoying the campsite.
YOUR STAY IN FIVE STEPS
How do you organise a family holiday at Camping Le Rousieux?
Take the children’s ages into account
The needs are different depending on whether you’re travelling with a baby, young children or older children. Make a note of sleeping times, the need for breaks and the activities that each person is genuinely interested in before planning your holiday.
Choose accommodation that suits your everyday needs
Don’t rely solely on the advertised maximum capacity. Take a look at the sleeping arrangements, the layout, the facilities on offer and the space your family will need during mealtimes or when relaxing.
The fact sheets for our holiday rentals and camping pitches enable you to compare this information before booking.
Identify the priority activities
Ask each member of the family what they’d like to do during the holidays. You can then choose a few priorities from the the swimming pool and the water slide, the pony rides or the campsite activities.
As dates, times and conditions of participation may vary, please check the relevant pages before your stay.
Create a flexible programme
Alternate a day or half-day of exploring the Tarn with time spent at the campsite. This approach means you avoid too many journeys and allows you to adapt your plans to how tired you are, what you fancy doing or the weather.
Check the details before you set off
Check the dates, the number of participants, the facilities included and any optional extras. Have a look at the details of your chosen accommodation and the booking summary to find out exactly what you’ll need to bring with you.
EVERY AGE HAS ITS OWN PACE
How can you make the living room child-friendly?

Maintaining routines and quiet moments
Stick to your usual sleep and mealtimes as much as possible. A short activity, followed by some quiet time at the campsite, will often be more enjoyable than a whole day out sightseeing.
The swimming pool has areas designated for different purposes, but children remain under the supervision and responsibility of their accompanying adults.

A mix of games, new experiences and the great outdoors
Swimming, pony rides and the activities on offer at the campsite make for a varied day. There’s no need to plan everything: pick one highlight and let the children enjoy the rest of the day at their leisure.

Plan for time spent together and time spent apart
If the children don’t all want to do the same thing, plan a family activity together, followed by some free time. This arrangement allows the younger children to rest whilst the older ones enjoy the campsite or the local area in their own way.

Enter your dates and the number of guests to view the available options. Before confirming, check the details of your chosen accommodation to find out about sleeping arrangements, facilities and any other features that might be useful for your stay.
FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE
How can you organise enjoyable days out for the whole family?
Parents and children do not always have the same pace or the same interests. The aim, therefore, is not to pack in as many activities as possible, but to create a programme flexible enough to be amended during the stay.
You can structure each day around a single priority: a swim, an activity at the campsite, a visit or a walk. Then set aside time for meals, rest and decisions made on the spur of the moment.
Alternating between days at the campsite and exploring the Tarn also helps to keep journeys to a minimum. To make meal preparation easier, check the opening times and arrangements for the the campsite’s restaurant and home-cooked meals.
Finally, check the timetables and programmes shortly before each trip. TheTarn Tourisme’s calendar of activities for children may supplement the suggestions provided on our website.
