Tucked just a short drive from Troyes, this campsite has earned a solid reputation as a welcoming stopover for travelers heading south. Its standout feature is the remarkably spacious pitches, many of which combine a grassy camping area with a practical gravel strip for caravans or motorhomes. The gravel surfaces remain firm even after rain and give the site a tidy, well-kept appearance. Pitches are clearly delineated and offer good privacy and shade, adding to the restful atmosphere. The setting is rustic and tranquil, centered around an old farmhouse, and stays quiet both day and night. Guests appreciate the relaxed, informal vibe that makes for an easy overnight stay after a long drive. The reception staff are described as exceptionally friendly, though English skills are limited and cash payment is preferred. A small selection of local products is available at reception, adding a charming local touch. The sanitary facilities, while clean and functional with reliably hot showers, are somewhat outdated and could benefit from renovation. In early spring, the unheated washrooms can feel uncomfortable for older visitors. The site lacks bread delivery and the nearest restaurant is closed on Mondays, so planning is necessary. A tame crow on-site is known for stealing items, including caravan keys—an unexpected quirk. The nightly rate is reasonable, and the location conveniently puts guests within a 30-minute drive of Troyes city center and a large outlet shopping area. Overall, the campsite combines generous pitches, a peaceful environment, and friendly service to create a hassle-free transit camping experience.
