I will follow this thread with interest as we plan to meander along the canal for 4 weeks starting in June, so any recommendation's for campsites would be great.
We tootled along the 'Canal du midi' last year and there are several aires nearby. We stayed at Villeton, Monterrand, Castelsarrasin (although this aire had been moved away from the canal). There is also Caumont sur Garonne. Tebes is closed and so is La Redorte.
We spent a couple of weeks in the area around St.Felix Lauragais, Revel, Lac du St.Ferreol, Soreze.
We used aires rather than campsites, except at Soreze where we used the ACSI campsite, really to tank up our batteries as we'd moved so little! The camp-site was very pleasant - Eu13 with small swimming pool, lots of shade, free wi-fi.
The towns and villages are lovely to mooch around and there's the canal path to walk or cycle along. We came across a couple (the 2 D's) who were cycling the entire length of the canal; not in one go, but moving to an aire, biking back the way, half-way to their last destination, then next day biking up the way and rest days in between. Sounded like a great way to add focus to your trip.
Don't forget the museum of the Canal du Midi at Lac St.Ferreol; we overnighted on the car park opposite - that was mid-May.
I posted a query at the time we were round that area because our batteries were not keeping up with us - but it was because we were doing so few miles, we were enjoying the area so much. We now have a solar panel so hope we'd be able to do it again without any difficulty.
You'll love it!
Yes, very sorry we can't make Denia - now looks as if we'll not be making anywhere until the autumn!
I did both areas April last year 2011, stayed at the aire in Carcassone next to the city walls, unfortunatley at Bezier, I had to stay just outside the Aire as the system is credit card controlled, suppose to be 30 units, but I was unable to get in, there was only just over 20 units there.
Great area, if you want to go a little further down to a wonderful area try the Camargue.
