Before you visit
Camping & bivouacs
Bivouac is tolerated subject to conditions, landowner permission and local orders. Restrictions apply near monuments, drinking-water sources and protected sites; confirm the location with the municipality. The PNR is not a general free-camping zone.
Official sourceFire & cooking
Do not light campfires or barbecues near woodland or garrigue. Departmental rules and current risk also apply. An allowed bivouac does not automatically permit a gas stove: check the local order for the chosen place and day.
Official sourceDogs
The park recommends a lead and a wide detour around herds. Dogs must not disturb wildlife or approach livestock. Check additional restrictions at individual natural sites.
Official sourceAccess & parking
Between June and September, check the daily Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales fire-risk maps before every outing. Prefectural orders may close individual massifs. Use designated parking, avoid dry grass and keep emergency access clear.
Official sourceActivities & restrictions
The park offers walking and cycling routes, including sections of VéloSud. Choose appropriate MTB itineraries and check environmental or seasonal restrictions separately for canyoning, climbing and caves. Marked routes help respect private land and established access.
