Camping St Martin,
Soreze, Midi-Pyrenees Tel 0563732899
To find site: North or
south on the D622 Castelnaudary-Castres road take the road in Revel
towards Soreze, initially D1 and then D85. In Soreze follow road through
town and watch out for sign pointing left to campsite. Initially this
road looks narrow but it’s only between two buildings and widens out
immediately. The campsite entrance is on the right at the green sign.
St Martin is a small
peaceful campsite, probably a former municipal, just off the road that
runs through Soreze. It only has about 40 touring pitches and about a
dozen chalets for hire. The pitches vary in size but there are some good
sized ones if you search them out. Many fairly private.
A few smaller ones have an area
to hardstanding which are more suited to motorhomes on short stays.
Pitches are individually divided by shrubs and bushes and there are
plenty of mature trees to provide shade, although this might be
troublesome if you want to get satellite reception. Water points are
dotted around the site but the only disposal point for grey water is at
the motorhome service point although I am sure there would be no
objection to disposing of it around the site planting. Electric points
are via CEE17 blue connectors and are rated at a useful 10 amps.
Although perhaps best to check for reverse polarity. There is one toilet
block which is kept very clean and had seated pedestal toilets and paper
provided. There are also some nice touches with soap and towel being
provided. Next to reception is a small covered eating area with the site
offering a fairly basic menu and there is also a bar. Next to this is a
rather nice small swimming pool. For children there is a playground and volley ball
court. The site offers free WiFi although not site wide.
Out of the high season the site
accepts the ACSI discount card.
There are eating places
in the town only a short stroll from the campsite as well as a small
supermarket and bakers. Soreze is also worth a wander round as it has
many old features and details of its past detailed at key points through
the town in both French and English. Revel is about 5 miles away and
offers more extensive shopping opportunities including an Intermarche
with fuel. It is also has an interesting Centre Ville which is well
worth having a look at.
