This campsite in Tournus is conveniently located just 1.5 km from the motorway exit, making it a popular stopover for travelers heading to Spain or exploring the region. Its proximity to the Saône River and the charming town center adds to its appeal. The reception stays open until eight in the evening, which is practical for late arrivals. Pitches are spacious with flat, grassy surfaces and ample shade from scattered trees and shrubbery. Each pitch offers at least 10 amps of electricity, enough for appliances like a coffee maker. The on-site restaurant serves simple yet tasty meals, including good pizzas, though opinions on food quality vary widely. A bread service is available in the mornings, and a nearby cycle path encourages longer stays for cyclists. Free Wi-Fi is provided for the first 24 hours with excellent speed and reliability, though performance can dip when the campground is full. The sanitary facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with special provisions made for visitors with severe disabilities. However, some guests report inconsistent hot water, loose toilet seats, and slippery floors from leaking roofs. Showers provide good warm water, though adding hooks in sanitary areas would improve convenience. The site is often used as a transit camping spot, with many guests staying just one night. Dogs are welcome, and there is a meadow where they can be exercised. There is no swimming pool on site, but a municipal pool is located next door. The setting along the river is lovely for walking, cycling, and enjoying views of fields. However, several guests have reported very negative experiences with the owners and staff, describing them as rude, unfriendly, and unhelpful. One reviewer mentioned being turned away despite having a valid QR code. Another recounted a flood situation where the campground did not inform guests of closure, leaving them stranded. There were also complaints about being assigned a muddy pitch that caused a camper to get stuck, with owners allegedly refusing assistance initially and charging for grass damage. Signage is confusing, leading to frequent guest misplacement. The site becomes overcrowded in high season, making the already outdated sanitation insufficient. Prices for food, drink, and overall stay are considered too high for the quality provided by some, though others find it affordable and well-equipped for a pleasant stay. Overall, this campsite offers a practical transit stop with a pleasant location and decent food, but its aging infrastructure, aggressive staff behavior, and variable service may disappoint those expecting more.
