Camping des Blats, Mountain campground in Saint-Jacques-des-Blats, France.
Camping des Blats is a campground sitting on grassy terrain at 980 meters elevation within the Parc Naturel Regional Volcans d'Auvergne. The site includes 50 pitches along with safari tents, lodges, and chalets distributed across the seasons.
The campground opened as a three-star facility and became a base for winter sports visitors heading to the Le Lioran ski resort. Over the years, it has remained a stable spot for seasonal guests arriving in different times of the year.
The place sits in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, where visitors can experience the rhythms of mountain living. Life here follows the seasons and maintains connections to regional outdoor traditions that shape daily routines.
The grounds are best visited during dry weather, when paths are much easier to walk on. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the high elevation brings uneven surfaces and variable conditions.
Two domestic llamas named Delphine and Sebastien live on the grounds and interact regularly with guests. These unusual residents bring a playful element to the daily routines of campers staying here.
