  • Small-scale site on a family-run Champagne estate in Meurville
  • A 20-minute drive from Forêt d’Orient Regional Natural Park
  • Tutored Champagne tastings on site six evenings a week
If it’s your firm belief that a holiday should feature a glass or few of top-notch bubbles, you’ll no doubt be most pleased with a stay at Camping La Sauleraie. This Champagne-Ardenne site is on the edge of the village of Meurville and within easy walking distance of several fine Côte-des-Bar Champagne producers. The very closest of those, however, is right there where you’ll be staying. Yes indeed, this is your chance to stay right there at a family Champagne house, where you’ll be surrounded by the vineyards and the Perron family will invite you to a tutored Champagne tasting in the cellars (held every day from Monday to Saturday at 6pm). It may be the drinks that first capture your attention, but the site itself is rather lovely too. It’s part of a wooded plot of 8600 square metres, with an enclosed pond that’s popular with birds and other wildlife. From your accommodation you’ll be able to take a scenic walk through fields, woods and vineyards, heading up the slopes to look out over the vineyards at sunset. Facilities on site include a play area with swings and a slide, and a barbecue area with picnic tables for your outdoor meals. The amenities building houses toilets, showers and sinks on one side and washing-up and laundry sinks on the other.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely little quiet campsite. Was next to the road but wasn’t that busy and didn’t bother us. Not dangerous as there was a row of bushes in between the site and road but didn’t cut out the sound. Facilities ok but basic. Didn’t realise we had to go to the town centre to check in and get the key. But was only a few minutes drive away. The main attraction is the beautiful vineyard scenery and the talk from the owner about the family champagne business back in the village centre and the tasting was lovely. There was a little play area here too for the kids whilst we sampled the champagne.

Disliked: Our pitch wasn’t very flat. But I think someone else had parked in our spot so this may have not been a problem if we were in the right spot.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Back to nature feel

Disliked: Felt description on Pitch up is misleading. The site has gated access with a few cabins and pitches, the site is away from the main town but you will struggle to find location as there are no signs or contact numbers. Sat Nav took us to town which was cut off and thankfully a local helped us. Once we found reception we were givem a key to access the site which was basic but fine. That said there is no chemical toilet so wouldnt want to stay more than an overnight. There is nobody on site and if you want to do some champagne tasting you have to go back into town which is fine if you have a car, but not great if you dont or have mobility issues.
