Welcome to Camping du Batut

A small, quiet family campsite with 35 spacious pitches on the banks of the Tarn, just outside Saint-Izaire in the Aveyron. Almost every pitch is shaded by tall trees, with the river a few steps away and green hills all around.

Bring your own tent, caravan or camper, or rent one of our furnished tents. Slow down, swim in the river and enjoy the calm.
