    A warm welcome from the campground manager, who really listens to the guests. The campground’s location is great—close to everything: swimming, cultural attractions, and hiking. A very quiet spot—the cool air feels wonderful—it’s relaxing, and you wake up to the sound of birds singing. A haven of peace. Thanks again to the campground manager for everything.👍😎😃

    At this time of year, this campground is a true paradise. It’s quiet, with wide-open green spaces, well-maintained grounds, clean restrooms, and welcoming, friendly managers who love interacting with guests. I highly recommend this family-friendly campground, which is close to many natural attractions and hiking trails. A big thank you for these few rejuvenating days spent at your campground.

    May 2026 week The welcome was friendly and helpful and the host very attentive. We were here just after the Ascension weekend in May and stayed for a fat week. A quiet campsite and surroundings. The campsite is easy to find and easy to reach with car caravan combination. Pitches are almost all delimited with a hedge on either side so you always have some shade. Caravan / tent spots are interspersed with some glamping tents and chalets mobile homes. The campground has a park-like layout and is maintained in a nature friendly manner. Because there is a lot of water nearby, biodiversity is high. From the campground you can perfectly start your adventure by bike or hiking. And for shopping, the village of Orgelet is 10 min by car. Fortunately the temperature just went up again after an extremely cold start to May. In fact, the showers are open/outdoor. But the water is wonderfully warm. Sometimes even too hot. You can't control the temperature yourself. We do not use the toilets. In pre-season the snack bar is not open as often as in high season. We had delicious meals. Dogs are welcome, understandably have to be leashed and can also go into the river to cool off in several places next to the campsite. We had a great time at this campground.

    mei 2026 week De ontvangst was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en de gastheer zeer attent. Wij waren hier net na het hemelvaart weekend in mei en bleven een dikke week. Een rustige camping en omgeving. De camping is goed te vinden en makkelijk te bereiken met auto caravan combinatie. Kampeer plekken zijn nagenoeg allemaal afgebakend met een heg aan weerszijden zodat je altijd wat schaduw hebt. Caravan / tent plekken worden afgewisseld met wat glampingtenten en chalets stacaravans. De camping heeft een parkachtige opzet en wordt natuur vriendelijk onderhouden. Omdat er veel water in de buurt is is de biodiversiteit groot. Vanuit de camping kan je prima je avontuur per fiets of wandelend beginnen. En voor boodschappen is het dorp Orgelet op 10 min auto afstand. Gelukkig ging de temperatuur net weer omhoog na een buitengewoon koude start van de maand mei. De douches zijn namelijk open/ buiten. Maar het water is heerlijk warm. Soms zelfs te warm. Je kan de temperatuur zelf niet regelen. Wij maken geen gebruik van de toiletten. In voorseizoen is de snackbar niet zo vaak open als in het hoogseizoen. We hebben heerlijk gegeten. Honden zijn welkom, moeten begrijpelijk wel worden aangelijnd en kunnen ook op verschillende plekken naast de camping in de rivier om af te koelen. Wij hebben een fijne tijd gehad op deze camping.

    Incredibly warm welcome from the manager. Unfortunately we were unlucky with the terrible weather on Ascension weekend, but the manager was our ray of sunshine. Super campsite with lovely pitches, clean sanitary facilities and a great little snack bar. We'll be back with the sun. Many thanks again. Cardoso family
