  • Peaceful and shaded riverside site next to Grottes d’Azé
  • Cluny Abbey and Grottes de Blanot within 15 minutes' drive
  • Snack bar on site; 10 mins' drive from A6 motorway
It’s not often that you get to spend the night right by a tourist attraction – but that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do at Camping Grottes d'Azé, at the southern end of Burgundy. This peaceful three-acre site is right next to the Grottes d’Azé, on the edge of the village of Azé. Staying right next to the caves means that you’ll be able to get in as soon as they open in the morning, thus avoiding the crowds and perhaps allowing you to get on your way to another destination later in the day. The site is only about 10 minutes’ drive from the A6 motorway (halfway between Dijon and Lyon) so it’s a handy pick for an overnight stop and a cave tour before getting back on the road. It’s worth sticking around a little longer if you can, though, as there’s plenty to see and do in the local area, including walking trails, cycle routes, vineyard visits, châteaux – and indeed more caves… Time spent on site should be rather lovely too – the campsite is on the banks of the Mouge river and it’s a peaceful place with lots of wildlife around and shade from the trees. The swimming pool (available for an additional charge) is open during high season only. There is also a playground and a pétanque court on site for a little more activity. Amenities are also well supplied, including a launderette and bathrooms with disabled access. Time for some food? Pick up pizzas and the like from the snack bar and order your morning bread delivery for a good breakfast. You can also walk into the village centre in about 10/15 minutes for a shop, bakery or restaurant.

What customers say

This is a friendly, natural campsite in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by vineyards. Guests particularly enjoyed the spacious pitches, many with private sanitary facilities, and the convenient on-site bar/restaurant serving good food. The swimming pool and surrounding countryside, ideal for walks, were also highlights. Staff are frequently praised for being welcoming and helpful. Some visitors noted issues with pool entry rules and hygiene in communal facilities during busy periods.

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Very friendly site made us feel so welcome and having the private sanitary cabin on our pitch was so handy. Didn't use the pool but could see it looked clean and people were in it. The bar/restaurant area was lovely and staff so helpful, had the best hotdog.

Disliked Stayed for 1 night only so didn't dislike anything

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked We liked the size of the pitch and the private facilities, the owner's were welcoming and helpful. The bar and restaurant was open throughout the day. Nice walks through the countryside. The Grotto is very popular although we didn't go there as i get a bit claustrophobic. It was dog friendly.

Disliked Nothing much to dislike, unfortunately it was raining the two nights we spent there so it did get very muddy around the site.

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Wonderful location, surrounded by vineyards. Great walks and very dog friendly! Staff were particularly accommodating

Disliked We arrived and there was a large area with foreign campers with plastic tents, we think they were picking teams. Didn’t look great and could feel intimidating for some people as they were majority men.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked The actual site was lovely with good entertainment, a swimming pool and a little river.

Disliked Did not feel safe, no staff or patrol on site and a group of people had more vans of men arriving after midnight and leaving before 7am with only the original group left when the staff came on site in the morning. The group were building large shelters at 1am and driving on and off the site, all talking and playing music. Large groups of men directly in front of the toilets which were shared for men and women, the tents and group covered the span of approximately 5-6 plots directly infront of the toilets/showers. Such a shame as we had booked to stay there again on our way back home, will definitely cancel. No sleep and didn’t feel like a family site.

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Ein sehr schöner naturbelassener Platz.
Wir hatten einen Stellplatz mit einem Sanitärhäuschen. Das war sehr schön.
Das Campingplatz Team ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
In dem kleinen Bistro haben wir zu Abend gegessen. Es hat lecker geschmeckt und der Keller war super nett.

Disliked Erschreckt haben uns zwei Nager, die in unmittelbarer Nähe unseres Stellplatzes tagsüber vorbei gerannt sind.
Direkt neben uns wohnte wohl ein junger Mann mit einem sehr jungen Hund, der einige Hundehaufen in unmittelbarer Nähe unseres Stellplatzes hinterlassen. Allerdings wurden diese umgehend durch den Hundebesitzer entfernt, nachdem wir in der Rezeption Bescheid gegeben hatten.

Local attractions

Of course you’ll want to visit the Grottes d’Azé to explore the wonderful naturally sculpted underground caverns and see the well-preserved bear and lion fossils it’s become well known for. And if that’s given you a taste for such things, follow up with a trip to Grottes de Blanot (15 minutes’ drive). Back above ground there are plenty of activities to keep you busy, including biking along the green or blue cycle routes, going horse riding from Azé, climbing into the trees at Lugny Acro (five minutes) or rock climbing at Vergisson (25 minutes). And of course here in the midst of the Mâconnais vineyards there are wines to be tasted if that’s more your thing. For a taste of the area’s more recent history, head to Cluny Abbey (15 minutes), once the largest church in Christendom, or take a tour of Château de Brancion (15 minutes), up on a clifftop overlooking the medieval village.
