  • Peaceful family-run Vosges site close to Étival-Clairefontaine
  • Next to the Pierre d’Appel loop walk; Fraispertuis City 15 mins' drive
  • Nature-first site with snack bar, pétanque and mini golf
Hiking, mountain biking, watersports, climbing and paragliding, or perhaps some quiet time soaking up gorgeous scenery and visiting heritage sites… whatever it is that’s tempted you towards a break in the Vosges, you should be well placed for it when you stay at Camping d’Étival. Between Raon-l’Étape and Saint-Dié, this is a green and peaceful family-run site where the focus is on space and nature rather than lots of facilities and entertainment. Settle in at this site and you’ll be able to play games of table tennis, pétanque and miniature golf, but there won't be any karaoke, bingo nights or other noisy events. It’s all about embracing the simple pleasures of life here – you’ll be able to borrow books and board games, do a bit of alfresco cooking at the barbecue area and gather with fellow guests for a few drinks and nibbles at the snack bar. Étival-Clairefontaine town centre is about two kilometres away for bakeries, cafés and a grocery store, and there are supermarkets 10 minutes’ drive away in Moyenmoutier. You won’t have to go that far for your breakfast though, as there’s fresh bread on site each day. And you’ll be needing that breakfast, too, as there are plenty of excellent activities waiting in the surrounding area. You can start with the Pierre d’Appel circular trail, which starts right by the site and goes through an Iron Age settlement with gorgeous views of the valley and abbey – or take your pick from the Club Vosgien waymarked trails nearby.

What customers say

This campsite is highly recommended for its peaceful atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and clean, modern facilities. Guests enjoyed the beautiful natural surroundings, the availability of fresh croissants and evening meals, and activities like mini-golf. Pitches are generally spacious and well-maintained. Some minor suggestions included the addition of a shelf in the shower area, and one guest noted that toilet paper is not provided in the shared shower facilities.

Local attractions

There are walks and bike rides galore around here, but for other outdoor activities you may like to climb the pink sandstone Pierre d’Appel (five minutes' drive), go paragliding from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges (15 minutes) or head to Lac de Pierre-Percée (20 minutes) for watersports and a treetop course with zipline. You can also launch canoes, kayaks and paddleboards on the Meurthe river in Raon-l’Étape (10 minutes). Dipping into local heritage might take you to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges to see the Le Corbusier-designed buildings, to the fabulous pink sandstone Abbaye Saint-Pierre d’Étival (five minutes) or to Senones (15 minutes) to visit the Solex Passion-Partage vehicle museum and the Musée de la Batterie, dedicated to drums of all varieties. Les Jardins de Callunes (20 minutes) is a nice place for a stroll among colourful blooms – or, for a family day out, check out Fraispertuis City (15 minutes), an amusement park with a Wild West theme.
