Camping in Millau with heated pool

The outdoor heated pool

The Camping Saint Lambert pool is an outdoor heated pool at 27°C, open from mid-May to mid-September depending on weather conditions. With a depth of 1.40 metres, it suits all swimmers. Sun loungers are available on a self-service basis around the pool.

• Temperature: 27°C (heated)
• Depth: 1.40 m
• Opening hours: 10:00 – 19:00
• Self-service sun loungers
• Open from mid-May to mid-September

Good to know: armbands, UV rash vests and swim nappies are not permitted in the pool. The pool is not wheelchair accessible. However, the river beach is wheelchair accessible.

Heated pool + river: the double advantage

Camping Saint Lambert is one of the few campsites in Millau to offer both a heated pool et un direct access to the Dourbie river. The two complement each other perfectly:

• The pool: clean water, controlled temperature, consistent depth — ideal in the morning or on cooler days
• The river: cool natural water, swimming in the open air, gentle current — perfect in the afternoon during the hottest days

Many families alternate between the two in the same day: pool in the morning, river in the afternoon.

Millau: ideal weather for swimming

Millau enjoys exceptional sunshine on the Grands Causses with over 2,800 hours of sunshine per year. Summer temperatures reach 28–32°C in July–August, ideal for enjoying the pool. The natural setting — nestled between the Causses — also creates a wind-sheltered microclimate.

Family swimming: safety and comfort

The pool at Camping Saint Lambert is designed for families. Its single depth of 1.40 m, with no slope or deep end, lets parents keep an eye on the whole pool and children gain confidence in the water. The free sun loungers around the pool and the shaded lawn next to it make it a relaxing spot where an afternoon slips by easily. The campsite snack bar is a few steps away: ice creams, cold drinks and light meals without leaving the poolside. And for the little ones, the gently sloping pebble beach on the Dourbie offers shallow natural swimming under parental supervision.

Pool or river: which to choose depending on the month?

In May and June, the pool heated to 27 °C is the safe bet: the Dourbie is still cool and the pool lets you swim comfortably from the morning. In July and August the two complement each other perfectly: pool in the morning, river in the afternoon when the heat rises over the Causses. In September the river remains pleasant on fine days, and the pool, open until mid-September, extends the swimming season. Whatever the period, you always have at least one swimming option at the campsite, a stone's throw from your accommodation.

The accommodation closest to the pool

The Premium and Confort mobile homes are a few dozen metres from the pool, which is ideal with young children: pop back to change, then head straight back for a swim. The nature pitches on the banks of the Dourbie, on the other hand, favour peace and quiet and direct access to the river, a three-minute walk from the pool. Whatever you choose, the pool, the private beach and the snack bar are all within walking distance from anywhere on the campsite.

Beyond the pool and the river, the campsite offers:

• Canoe trips on the Tarn with shuttle, through our partners (15 min from the campsite)
• Swimming in the Gorges du Tarn (24 min), with remarkable natural pools
