Camp Life
What is
Camp?
Our château accommodation and program provide women with a joyful, tranquil, and rejuvenating all-inclusive experience. The French countryside offers great food and wine, outdoor adventures, Panoramic views, and picturesque villages. Camp Château is where women explore creative and restorative hobbies, meet other wonderful women, or simply relax.
Do everything or do nothing, it's your choice.
Where is Camp?
Both of our châteaux sit in the slower-paced south of France, with nature, food and activities that inspire your inner joie de vivre
Château de Béduer — Lot Valley in the Quercy Region of Southern France, known for its unique landscape, rich gastronomy, and historic towns.
L'Abbaye-Château de Camon — Ariège in the Occitanie Region of Southern France, known for its diverse landscape, rich Cathar history, and unique cultural traditions.
Who Comes to Camp?
We welcome all women ages 21 and older. Women 18+ can attend with a 21+ camper. Camp Château is founded by women who support the LGBTQIA+ community. Trans women are women, and therefore welcome at our camp.
The kind of woman who…
Enjoys a sunrise and breathtaking views
Likes to play and goof around in good company
Is inspired by medieval castles and French culture

"I was fairly confident that my session at Camp Château (Béduer) was going to be wonderful, but my actual experience far exceeded my expectations. So much so, I've already rebooked for 2028, this time at Camon.
Starting from check-in under dappled shade at Aslan's Table with a glass of sparkling wine, all the way to the last morning, when our group of 48 women started to disperse to our shuttles and trains with hugs and exchanged contact information, it was five days of everything I needed to refill my emotional well.
Camp is a fully restorative sensory experience. The setting is idyllic and magical, the food is amazing, the electives are fun and educational, and the staff and counselors are wonderful. That said, I think what I loved the most about my session was the amazing group of women who I met there. We started connecting immediately, and only grew closer as our time went on. It was truly an example of how wonderful, supportive, and kind women can be to each other. And I haven't laughed so much in a long time.
Book yourself a session at Camp. You're worth it. It may change you forever. And you truly won't regret it."
