Lovely calm quite well maintained Naturist camp site.
With open pitches looking over countryside.

At night time glorious views of night sky, lights on campsite allow star gazing.

There are options of more shade or all sun and all in between

On arrival friendly owner who speaks perfect English. She very helpful and given us tips for places to visit around the area.

Her and her husband have only had this site for about 1 year. I suspect it’s just going to get better and better, although it was 5 star to us. We will be returning

Very well kept places, combination of rentals, tent caravans and camper vans and a few residential season.
Tent sites, all grassed.
Plenary of electrical and water points.

There is a bar that seemed open all the time. There are ice creams.

What is nice all reasonable prices meals and drinks. Because of this people will come to the bar so has a nice feel.

In an adjoining room to the bar there is table top football and table tennis as well as some board games, all free.

I am aware of a reading room / library.

There are no washing machines, but there are some at the local supermarket with a dryer. In the main well maintained and clean toilet block are sinks for dishwashings as well as clothes washing.

There is a massage room, massages from July till September only. This by local therapist.

Events are listed by the bar such as a card games, Archery and bowels competitions.

We did the archery with Vinny and he was very friendly and professional and taught us quite a bit as novices. We like the way he taught us and his patience. These session are free and held on alternate days. The archery field is beyond the kitchen if new to site best ask for location.

Food is on every day except Wednesday eg salads, burgers and chips, pasta type meals. All very nice again reasonable prices so encourages you to try.

There is a real open feeling with views over fields. Most pitches seem to have water and electricity.

The Grass is well maintained

Very nice swimming pools with two smaller pools for the rug rats as wells as climbing adventure forts for the rug rats. Trampoline, Badminton courts, tennis courts, Boules court a few of them.

Soft and hard sun beds, as well as plastic chairs around the swimming pool. Although there are no sun umbrellas. You go to the use using the trees.
Fully fenced around with rug rat ( child ) locks on the gates.

Nearest supermarket we used Saint Clar about 10 min drive.

There is a mall shop in reception

I also like no need to dress for evening meals events or any other reason than comfort. Naturism is really encouraged by owners and staff setting examples.

What we really like is the attitude of the new owners Farbrice and Carole. ( please excuse spelling ). So friendly and helpful you really can tell they are working hard. We believe their target audience will be families with a lot of animations ( entertainment , events and activities). from July

This is classed as 3 star campsite but our option is far higher.

AI says

Background. Domaine Naturiste Devèze lies just outside the little village of Gaudonville in northern Gers (Occitanie). Gaudonville sits in the historic Lomagne region of Gascony .
The campsite’s name comes from the old Occitan word devesa (French devèze), meaning a “set-aside” or C“reserved” pasture. The 20-hectare site was originally agricultural land so the land was simply part of rural Gaudonville.
In 1966–1967 the Devèze fields were converted into a naturist (“textile‑free”) camping ground. One of France’s early naturist sites, Camping Domaine naturiste Devèze opened in this rural spot, capitalizing on its relative privacy.

Over the decades the owners added amenities: pitches, a large man‑made lake (~1.7 ha), pools and cabins, but always framed in the old meadow.

Domaine Naturiste Devèze lies just outside the little village of Gaudonville in northern Gers (Occitanie). Gaudonville sits in the historic Lomagne region of Gascony .| The campsite’s name comes from the old Occitan word devesa (French devèze), meaning a “set-aside” or “reserved” pasture (from Latin defensus) . In medieval Gascony a devesa was often common pasture land belonging to the local lord. In other words, the 20-hectare site was originally agricultural land (likely communal pasture or crop fields) rather than a built estate. No château or abbey is recorded on this tract – the commune’s only medieval castle was at the village, not here – so the land was simply part of rural Gaudonville, where even today most agriculture is cereals and oilseeds.||Historical land use. Before 1967 the Devèze land was used in farming. In line with local practice, it would have been grazed by livestock or planted with grain, under customary arrangements. (The Lomagne plateau around Gaudonville has been mainly farmland since long ago.) The name “Chemin de Devèze” reflects this heritage of open pasture. The 19th‑century cadastre and later maps show this area as open fields (no urban development on the Napoleonic or cadastral plans). No major buildings are noted on the site before the 20th century. In sum, the Devèze was simply part of the commune’s agricultural hinterland.||Transition to a campsite. In 1966–1967 the Devèze fields were converted into a naturist (“textile‑free”) camping ground. One of France’s early naturist sites, Camping Domaine naturiste Devèze opened in this rural spot, capitalizing on its relative privacy. Newspaper accounts note the camp “was opened in 1966/67” and has remained naturist ever since . (Many naturist sites were later sold to non‑naturist operators, but Devèze stayed naturist through the late 20th century.) Over the decades the owners added amenities: pitches, a large man‑made lake (~1.7 ha), pools and cabins, but always framed in the old meadow.||Change of ownership and today’s status. Devèze was long family‑run; after about 17 years under one couple, in March 2024 ownership passed to a new team. As reported by La Dépêche, “Fabrice Ruffier a racheté le camping en mars avec sa femme Carolle” and they relaunched operations on March 1, 2024 . Under the Ruffiers the site continues as a 3-star naturist domain. Today the Domaine Naturiste Devèze still covers roughly 20 hectares of mixed meadow and woodland, with 137 pitches and a 1.7‑ha ornamental lake . It remains officially zoned as rural land (no urbanization plan, RNU status). In brief, the campsite’s current status is a thriving naturist campground operated by a small family team, preserving the site’s traditional open‑land character.

Juste génial.
Merci et bravo à vous Caroll et Fabrice pour votre chaleur humaine et professionnalisme
Nous reviendrons dès que possible
Beaucoup de chagrin de devoir quitter votre merveilleux établissement et vos clients...

Fabrice et Sandra

Je suis venue été 2024 et j'ai été ravie par l'accueil chaleureux de Caroll et Fabrice ainsi que de leur bienveillance durant ces quelques jours passés au camping.
Un lieu paisible au milieu de la nature tout à fait ressourçant !
J'y reviens ces jours ci avec beaucoup de plaisir.
Allez y, vous ne serez pas déçus !

L'accueil est bien, le camping est bien entretenu et les emplacements sont grands. C'est calme, donc bien pour se reposer. Un détail dans les conditions générales qui ne correspond pas au document de réservation, l'heure à laquelle il faut libérer la location, 10h ou 12h. Cela peut poser problème. A part ça, le camping est chouette et agréable, les sanitaires sont propres. Des randonnues sont possibles.

Camping super agréable où on se sent toute suite "chez soi" !

Nous sommes venus en famille les enfants ce sont amusés des animateurs au top. Les soirées très sympathique camping familiale de quoi se retrouver et se reposer je recommande fortement. Un grand merci à Fabrice et Carole pour leur gentillesse et bienveillance vous avez très bien géré pour une reprise!

Nouveaux propriétaires très accueillants, camping agréable et nous avons trouvé que les vacanciers étaient également bien sympathiques. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

We just spent 6 lovely days in our motorhome here. The site has had new owners since April 2024, and they were always friendly and helpful, as were all the staff. They have plans to make improvements over the coming years, but it is still a nice site as it is. There is a good selection of pitches available. Ours was a huge and fairly level area with a mixture of sunshine and shade, perfect for the weather that we had. Electric hook up and water was available. There is a very pleasant walk down and around a fishing lake. An addition this year from the new team has been to introduce a list of activities, with a good selection for most tastes. The evening Soirée was really nice and well attended by what seemed like most of the guests, as was the Saturday evening communal BBQ. The swimming pool was excellent, clean and warm. Fresh bread and pastries can be ordered daily. The food in the restaurant was very nice. Facillities were ample and always kept clean. There is a washing machine available that requires a token to operate. The site is quite hilly in places, but the views from various areas of the site were very pleasant because of that. What was good to see was that many of the guests have been returning to the site for many years. So, families have grown up through the various different owners, and they are still returning with the next generation of Camping Devèze customers. In short, we had a lovely stay, and we will return, it has everything that we like about naturism.

Camping avec un changement de propriétaire, où le client n'est pas la principale préoccupation, les consignes, les changements réguliers ! A éviter Bye bye ????????

L'ambiance est plombé d'entrée par un "clan" impénétrable d'habitués. La proximité de la location avec le local sanitaire est très très désagréable (bruit incessant, odeur, mouches etc..). Le chalet Némo à besoin d'un rafraichissement.

Belle endroit, au calme, dans la verdure, emplacement spacieux par palier, piscines et patinoires, lac de 800 mètres le tour pour pêcheur, club enfant, animations diverses et proposition de soirée repas ou jeux de sociétés
De passage pour 2 nuits en voyage en intenerance en camion aménagé, nous avonspu profiter de la soirée/ repas cassoulet et assiette fraîcheur végétarienne.
Belle équipe qui as repris le camping ,
A bientôt Valérie et Frédéric

Joli camping familial calme, ambiance cosy sympa

Devèze est un camping à dimension humaine, dans tous les sens du terme, où le naturisme se vit au quotidien et où ses valeurs sont préservées. Mylène et Jean-Pierre font tout leur possible pour que l’on s’y sente bien, avec un regard accueillant et bienveillant (cette remarque étant aussi valable concernant les « anciens Devèziens », fidèles parmi les fidèles, qui facilitent l’intégration lors des activités et animations proposées). Mylène et Jean-Pierre veillent également parfaitement à la propreté et à la sécurité des lieux.

Super camping agréable jean pierre et Mylène son agréable à l écouter de leur campeurs les pizzas son excellent,les sanitaires douche sont très bien entretenu rien a redire un camping très familiale un vrai cocon au il fait bon vivre

(Traduit par Google) Nous y sommes allés parce qu'il y a un lac là-bas. Chez le guide naturiste il y a possibilité de se baigner en rivière/lac/mer. Cependant, la baignade dans le lac est interdite, nous y sommes donc allés gratuitement. Sinon l'endroit est très sympa, mais aussi très isolé.

Nous y sommes allés parce qu'il y a un lac. Dans le guide naturiste, il est indiqué qu'il est possible de se baigner dans la rivière/le lac/la mer. La baignade dans le lac est toutefois interdite - nous y sommes donc allés pour rien. Sinon, le site est très beau, mais aussi très isolé.

Toujours un plaisir de venir à Deveze .Camping génial et convivial et l accueil parfait de Mylene et Jean pierre est super .Le côté snack et pizza est vraiment top ( J adore la pissaladière) le lac de pêche est vraiment un plus pour les balades et les piscines sont top.Merci encore pour ces vacances . .Vivement les prochaines ..

Le lieu est calme et ombragé mais les équipements sanitaires et la piscine sont un peu vétustes. Cependant c'est propre. ????

A l'arrivée les propriétaires semble sympathiques, mais si vous ne consommez pas au snacking et au bar vous êtes vite reléguer au second plan et n'êtes plus traité de la même façon car nous ne devons sûrement pas être assez "rentable" à leur yeux!. Nous avons Pourtant testé le restaurant mais le rapport qualité prix n'y est pas du tout, nous avons goûté la pizza mozza et avons été très déçu, une sauce tomate à la provençale (qui semblait être acheté dans le commerce) ,du fromage râpé et un peu de mozza...bref peu d'ingrédients et un un goût d'industrielle pour des pizzas dites "faites maison" ...bof. Plusieurs personnes ne respectent pas de rouler au pas, et lorsque nous en faisons la remarque ainsi que d'autres clients mécontents, rien ne change. Nous devons donc supporter la poussière à chaque passage de bolide! Les sanitaires sont propres mais vétustes (petites chaînettes pour allumer l'eau que nous devons actionner toutes les 5 secondes!) et la piscine non chauffé.
Sinon,très jolie balade autour du camping et autour du lac en contrebas.

Repas médiocre ambiance du samedi soir médiocre de dinosaure à l'intérieur Je ne recommande pas ce camping
