  • Scenic and spacious site on the banks of the Saône, 5km from the A6
  • Among trees and greenery with free leisure centre access next door
  • Waterside bar-restaurant, playground, fishing, shop and summer events
Swans, you say? And perhaps also a pretty pontoon for plonking yourself down on for evening idling, feet in the water as the sun sets? Sure you do. And so, book a stay at Burgundy's Camping La Clé de Saône, where you can have the lot, before retreating a mere few steps to a roomy waterside pitch. You may of course opt not to have a waterside pitch when here, and pas de probleme if so: guests can pick from shaded delimited pitches instead, or ones nearer to the amenities. (If you do crave pitching up by the river, however, let the site know when you book so they can accommodate you if there's room.) And that river? It's the Sâone, flowing past Camping La Clé de Saône on its 473-kilometre run from the Vosges mountains all the way along to Lyon. You can idle hours away on the site grounds while eyeing up swans from the pontoon; riverside lushness will also be easily yours when you amble to the bar-restaurant for meals, drinks and ice cream right at the water's edge. If that's not quite enough water for you, a lake is next to the site too, with free access to its facilities for Camping La Clé de Saône guests – as well as to the leisure centre next door. You'll also be within nifty reach of easy exploring: Camping La Clé de Saône's setting a few minutes' drive from the Saône-et-Loire village of Crêches-sur-Saône is five kilometres from the Mâcon exit of the A6, at the foot of the Beaujolais and Mâconnais mountains and close to the Burgundy vineyards. Other facilities include a playground, wifi, tourist info at reception, a food shop, and summer events such as pétanque competitions and themed evenings.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Really earm welcome from the lady on reception, sadly we had issues with kids breaking in in the communal swimming pool opposite and were so loud shouting drinking music playing till 5am, had no sleep what so ever which was great for 6hrs driving back to the ferry. Campsite its self is lovely, warm welcome from the lady on the desk, grass could be cut but thats no big deal, pitch sizes were huge, fab location on the river. (We were pith 40)

Disliked: Kids breaking in to the complex opposite kept majority of the campsite awake all night drinking, music, shouting till 5am Cant hold that agianst the campsite though was just unfortunate.

Liked: Great check in - we arrived before reception opened and pressed the bell, we chose a pitch and went to let them know which one later one. Good choice of pitches and pitches were a good size.

Disliked: Quite close to motorway

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: An excellent location along the river that we have visited over the past 20 years or so. Sadly the facilities have lacked maintenance it was seem and have become quite tired. No automatic lights coming on in the toilet area. Gypsy communities seem to be allowed to come and go as they wish without paying but I cannot completely verify that. In short, a site that needs some renovation as well as some care and attention. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.

Local attractions

The team thoroughly recommends trips around the famed Burgundy vineyards, as well as the many hiking and cycling routes in the region such as the seven-kilometre path via the local village and the Circuit VTT mountain bike trail twice crossing the Saône. Another heady trek is around the ancient landmark of the Rock of Solutré (20 minutes' drive away), a limestone escarpment just outside Mâcon that's been home to humans for over 55,000 years. It's surrounded by vineyards these days (but of course), so take some time to potter around those too – the vino you seek for souvenirs is the AOC Pouilly-Fuissé. There's a wine park around these parts as well, the Hameau Duboeuf at Romaneche-Thorins: get there within 20 minutes' drive for exhibitions, events and eight themed gardens. For restless offspring, the zoo, rides and waterslides of Touroparc are 10 minutes away.
