The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Parking at Col de Montségur, directly beneath the Cathar castle. Easy access for campers up to 8 m. Steep site requiring chocks, except upper parking area which is more level. Nights typically quiet despite road proximity. Waste bins available. Short but steep hike to castle (30 min, free entry). GR trails and mountain biking nearby. Stunning sunrise views over the ruins.
Highlights
- Exceptional panoramic views over the castle and surroundings
- Mostly calm and quiet nights
- Easy access for large motorhomes, easy maneuvering
- Castle freely accessible with varied hiking trails nearby
Good to know
- Very steep terrain, chocks mandatory except for the upper parking area
- Steep slope makes parking difficult for some
- Light but present traffic, especially during the day
- No services available (water, electricity, shower)
Motorhome access : Accessible for motorhomes up to 8m. Upper parking at the pass is almost flat. Lower parking areas are very steep; wheel chocks highly recommended. Asphalt, easy maneuvering.
