Glamping and unique holidays in the 81
Fancy experiencing a glamping holiday in the Tarn How is it different from your usual holiday? In Serviès, Camping Le Rousieux offers you the chance to stay in a Fully equipped safari lodge or in a restored 17th-century dovecote, at a 4-star family-friendly campsite situated between Castres and Albi.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ACCOMMODATION IN THE TARN
Why choose glamping for a unique holiday in the Tarn?
Glamping lets you experience the atmosphere of an outdoor holiday without having to pitch your own tent or carry all your kit. The accommodation is already set up, so you can start enjoying your stay straight away, whilst still enjoying that special feeling of being closer to nature.
At Le Rousieux Campsite, this experience can take two forms. The Safari Lodges feature a canvas structure, wooden furniture, two separate bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen and a covered terrace. The 17th-century dovecote offers a different kind of experience, in a genuine historic building that has been restored to accommodate one or two people.
Choosing an unusual place to stay isn’t just about finding an original place to sleep: it’s also about experiencing your holiday in a different way. You can enjoy the campsite, its swimming pool and its lush green surroundings, then set off to explore the villages, landscapes and heritage of the Tarn.

The Safari Lodges have Private toilets, but do not have en-suite facilities: the showers are located in the nearby toilet block. Le Pigeonnier has its own toilet facilities. Always check the detailed accommodation description to ensure it meets your expectations.
YOUR STAY IN FIVE STEPS
How do you organise a glamping holiday at Camping Le Rousieux?
Decide what kind of experience you’re looking for
Start by deciding what you’re looking for from your unique holiday: do you want to experience the spirit of camping in a furnished tent, surprise the children with something a bit different, or sleep in a historic building steeped in history?
This first question will help you choose between the natural ambience of the Safari Lodge and the heritage charm of the Pigeonnier.
Choose accommodation that suits the number of travellers
Both Safari Lodges can accommodate up to four people. They have an internal floor area of 25 m², two separate bedrooms and a covered terrace measuring 10 m².
The 17th-century dovecote is designed for one or two people and features a 16 m² bedroom. It is therefore ideal for a more intimate stay, whilst the Safari Lodge is suitable for families or groups.
Compare the equipment in detail
A glamping holiday offers greater comfort than a pitch with a traditional tent, but not all unique accommodation options offer the same facilities.
The Safari Lodge has a fully equipped kitchen, en-suite facilities and interior furnishings. However, it does not include no bathroom. Showers are available in the campsite’s toilet block, located nearby.
Find full details of the layout, sleeping arrangements and facilities on the page dedicated to the Safari Lodge for four people.
Imagine the pace of your holiday
Your unique accommodation could be the starting point for a holiday combining camping with exploring the Tarn region. Plan a day out, followed by a more relaxed morning near your accommodation or by the pool.
From Serviès, you can visit several towns, villages and iconic landscapes in the department. Take a look at our Ideas for days out in the Tarn to choose a few outings that suit the length of your stay.
Check availability and prepare for your arrival
Before booking, enter your dates and the number of guests, then read the description of your chosen accommodation carefully. In particular, check the number of beds, what bed linen you’ll need to bring, the bathroom facilities and any optional extras on offer.
As the Safari Lodges are designed to retain some of the traditional spirit of camping, do make sure to bring along your bed linen and your towels.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF CAMPING
How can you make the most of a glamping holiday in the Tarn?
To fully enjoy your glamping holiday in the Tarn, don’t just think of your accommodation as a place to spend the night. Take the time to soak up the atmosphere, relax on the terrace of the Safari Lodge or admire the architectural details of the Pigeonnier.
Glamping allows you to stay in touch with the camping experience. The sounds of nature, meals enjoyed outdoors and time spent near your accommodation are all integral to the experience. You can also enjoy the heated swimming pool with a paddling pool and a water slide during its opening hours.
To make the most of your stay, plan one or two day trips around Serviès. A walk in the Sidobre, a visit to Castres, a day out in Albi or a stop-off in a village in the Tarn will round off your break without turning your holiday into a series of long journeys.
If you’d like to make some meals easier, find out about the opening times and arrangements for the the campsite’s restaurant and home-cooked meals.
The aim isn’t to pack every day full, but to enjoy a different experience, staying in accommodation that you’ll look forward to returning to after each outing.
