  • Spacious family-friendly site in the scenic Haute-Marne
  • A five-minute drive from Langres and the source of the Marne river
  • Outdoor pool, miniature golf, restaurant and small food shop
When hols among trees, close to watersports and within easy reach of a healthy dash of history are beckoning, pop that cork in celebration at finding Camping de La Croix d’Arles, a family-friendly site in the Champagne-Ardenne (five minutes’ drive from Bourg and Langres) that ticks all those boxes. Stays on this well-wooded site will see guests able to unwind in hammocks slung beneath cherry, oak and pine trees, swim, hike and birdwatch on the nearby Villegusien lake (10 minutes from base – it’s a reservoir in truth, but one of the famed four lakes of Langres), and dive into history at a handful of spots including old Gallo-Roman ruins. If exploring far beyond site sounds like too much, opt to stay put instead. Guests can spend days taking cooling dips in the outdoor pool or lounging poolside, trying hands at pétanque or miniature golf, or spending quiet moments on the terrace. Eats are well-catered for here too: barbecue facilities are dotted around site and supplies can be secured at the small food shop. Prefer to let someone else do the cooking? A restaurant is open from April to mid-October, and has special menus for kids and those with dietary restrictions.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Baguette und Croissants Bestellung vor Ort,
Platz konnten wir uns aussuchen, jedoch waren Stromanschlüsse nicht von jeden Platz mit einem normalen Camping-Stromkabel zu erreichen, daher war die freie Auswahl beschränkt,
Pool sah gut aus, hatten wir aber nicht genutzt

Disliked Waschhaus war nicht in Ordnung: Sauberkeit, Ausstattung, Seifenspender waren alle leer….
Leider konnten wir nach 1000km Fahrt nichts im Restaurant auf dem Campingplatz essen, da uns gesagt wurde, dass kein Platz mehr frei wäre, obwohl das Lokal noch nicht mal zur Hälfte gefüllt war

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked The location was used as an overnight stop from Italy to Calais. I would not normally consider sites like this as a holiday destination but this site has changed my mind. A lovely rural location with fantastic facilities swimming pool, shop, restaurant and the most friendliest staff you could wish to meet. We also had a lovely three course meal in the in site restaurant. The facilities were clean and plentiful. A great stop and my only regret we could not stop for longer.

Local attractions

Stays hereabouts would be incomplete without a taste of history, so get started with a trip into Langres, five minutes’ drive away. The small town is home to an impressive fortified wall (parts of which are more than 2,000 years old) with seven towers and seven gateways. Begin visits to the town by walking or biking the ramparts, then turn attention to the cathedral and the stunning Navarre Tower. For non-drivers, Langres can be reached via a greenway joinable 700 metres from the site. Hikes and bike rides along this route will also bring explorers as far as La Liez, the largest of the four lakes (otherwise a 20-minute drive), where waterskiing, wakeboarding and sailing are to be tried, and where pike and carp can be caught. A sandy beach also beckons for lazy days of swimming and sunbathing. The other two lakes – La Mouche and Charmes – are within 25 minutes, and it’s just five minutes from base to the source of the mighty Marne river. This is France, bien sûr, so it should come as no surprise that a wealth of chateaux are within reach. The nearest is Château du Pailly, 15 minutes away, which is considered one of the best examples of renaissance architecture in Champagne-Ardenne. Castles aren’t the only historical draw round here either: the abandoned (yet scenic) forts of Cognelot and Peigney are both within 15 minutes, and the pristinely pretty 12th-century Abbaye Auberive is 25 minutes away.
