Camping Domaine la Chabanne, Outdoor campground in Châtel-Montagne, France.
Camping Domaine la Chabanne is a 2.5 hectare (6.2 acre) campground in the rolling Montagne Bourbonnaise hills with 26 pitches, including fixed plots and rental accommodations. The property offers varied lodging from traditional camping spots to luxury dome tents and safari-style cabins.
The site was built on the grounds of one of the region's largest farms, converting agricultural land into a recreational destination. This transformation reflects how the rural area evolved into a tourism hub over recent decades.
From this location, visitors can explore the traditional Auvergne region and discover local customs and regional cuisine in small villages nearby. The area retains a strong connection to its agricultural roots, visible in the stone farmhouses and rural rhythms that still shape daily life.
The grounds are open from April through September for regular campers, while rental accommodations remain available until November. All pitches have electrical hookups, plus washing facilities and an outdoor pool for cooling off.
Beyond standard tent pitches, visitors can stay in dome-shaped luxury tents or safari-style cabins, setting this place apart from typical campgrounds. Summer months also bring Hatha Flow Yoga sessions that blend relaxation with the outdoor camping experience.
