8 listed naturist campsites are by a lake or pond. Three are in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, two in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and two in Occitanie.
In Lot-et-Garonne, Camping du Lac de Lislebonne, in Réaup-Lisse, has a private, swimmable lake of 2.5 hectares, classified Natura 2000, with a heated indoor pool at 28°C and 69 pitches. In Dordogne, Domaine naturiste de Chaudeau spans 50 hectares around a body of water fed by hot springs, with a 200 m² pool nearby. In Haute-Vienne, Lous Suais, in Cheissoux, runs along Lake Maulde, between two dams, where swimming, pedal boating, paddleboarding and kayaking are on offer, for children and adults alike in any season.
In Esparron-de-Verdon, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Camping naturiste Verdon Provence has two naturist coves on a lake, close to the entrance of the Verdon gorges. In Valensole, Domaine naturiste du Petit Arlane borders two lakes on a 70-hectare estate, 15 km from Lake Sainte-Croix.
In the Gers, Domaine Devèze, in Gaudonville, open since 1966, has a 1.7-hectare lake. In the Aude, Le Clapotis, on the Étang de La Palme, brings together 247 pitches with electricity around a private beach, a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot. In Haute-Saône, Les Étangs de Saint Pancras runs along four ponds, with a developed beach and Nordic bath, set in a quiet location throughout the season.
A private lake or pond often offers calmer swimming than the seaside, with activities such as pedal boating, paddleboarding or fishing depending on the campsite. Check whether swimming is supervised in season, the water depth if you're travelling with young children, and whether water activities, such as kitesurfing at Le Clapotis or the Nordic bath at Les Étangs de Saint Pancras, are available on site.
In the Verdon, the gorges and Lake Sainte-Croix, near Le Petit Arlane, are a hotspot for canoeing and hiking in Provence, with the lavender fields of the Valensole plateau in summer. In the Gers, Domaine Devèze is surrounded by bastide towns and cycling routes typical of Gascony.
In Haute-Vienne, Lake Maulde, around Lous Suais, lends itself to fishing and gentle water sports, within the Limousin region. In the Aude, the Étang de La Palme, at Le Clapotis, is a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot between Narbonne and Perpignan. In Haute-Saône, Les Étangs de Saint Pancras lie in the southern Vosges.
Before booking, check whether swimming in the lake or pond is supervised, whether a pool is available as a complement, and what water activities are actually offered on site, as these vary widely from one site to another.
Every for naturists campsite is checked against its official listing and real photos, not a marketing pitch.
