Camping Le Lac de Villefort, Lakeside campground in Pourcharesses, France.
Camping Le Lac de Villefort is a four-star campsite with 96 pitches positioned directly on the shore of Lake Villefort in Pourcharesses. The location features standard pitches alongside 56 rental accommodations such as mobile homes and chalets, all with views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
The campsite emerged after completion of the hydroelectric dam in 1964, which created the 127-hectare Lake Villefort. The resulting water body became a focal point for recreation and water activities in this remote mountain area.
The campsite serves as a gateway to the Lozère region and connects visitors with local hiking trails and traditional mountain villages nearby. Guests experience the daily rhythm of these rural communities naturally through activities in the surrounding area.
The campsite operates from April through November with reception staff available during most daylight hours. Early arrival is recommended, particularly during summer months, as available pitches and rental units can fill quickly during peak seasons.
The campsite operates its own water sports station where visitors can rent catamarans, paddleboards, and canoes directly on-site. This means guests can start exploring the lake without arranging external rentals or dealing with outside providers.
