What customers say

This is a tranquil, well-maintained rural campsite praised for its peaceful atmosphere and eco-friendly touches. Visitors consistently highlight the exceptional hospitality of host Ludovic, who is described as generous, friendly, and extremely helpful. Facilities are noted as clean and sufficient, with thoughtful details. The site is ideal for relaxation, with the only minor drawback being a potentially tight entrance for larger vehicles, which the owner is aware of and plans to address. Many guests express a desire to return.

Larry V.

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Ludovic (Proprieter).. Very helpful and accommodating. Speaks perfect English too!
Rustic nature of site
Very laid-back atmosphere

Disliked Rather challenging entry and exit to site for larger outfits. In fairness our caravan is 8 metres long x 8 feet wide, and with some maneuvering managed it.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Larry for your feedback.
I am quite disappointed with the rating but I can understand that access played a big part in your assessment.
As I explained to you directly, the project to widen access is currently in the hands of the French administration and I cannot do anything at this time. I would like to point out again that motorhomes longer than yours have entered without difficulty in the past.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
I hope you will try the experience again at my place despite your reluctance.
Kind regards

Host Ludovic was so welcoming. Lovely…

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked We had such a wonderful stay here! The host was extremely kind and helpful, making us feel welcome right from the start. The campsite itself is beautifully maintained, surrounded by greenery and so peaceful – the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The area is tranquil, with plenty of space to sit back and enjoy nature.Everything was calm, quiet, and very comfortable.

If you’re looking for a place to recharge in a serene and beautiful setting with a host who truly cares, this is the spot. Highly recommended!
Merci beaucoup Ludovic 💚

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Ludovic is the perfect host and nothing is too much trouble. He even lent me a blanket because I said I was cold on my first night. We share an interest in plants and he has grown all but the large conifer trees on his site. The cooking area and other facilities are very clean and I could not ask for more.

Disliked There was nothing I disliked and shope and fuel station are in the village 1km from the campsite. I will return when visiting France again, soon I hope.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment🤗
It was a real pleasure to discuss with you about the campsite's plants.
I hope to do it again soon!

Beautiful site with clean facilities and the perfect host.

Pippa H.

Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked We liked it so much that we went back! Ludovic gave us such a lovely welcome. The facilities were everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is a reasonably priced rural campsite with well-maintained flat pitches. During our trip around France we visited 7 campsites and this was a favourite - that is why we chose to go back on our return to the UK too!

From the manager: Hello Pippa .
Your comment makes me proud and happy.
Thank you so much🤗🤗

Local attractions

There’s certainly plenty to do outdoors; you’ll need a licence to fish in the Orne Saônoise river (10 minutes’ drive), where you can also hire kayaks or canoes for a paddle downstream. Other alfresco pursuits include hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding trails, all on way-marked tracks close to the campsite. If you’re staying local, combine exercise with a potter around the verdant parkland at the Donjon de Ballon (five minutes), and explore the once-fortified medieval chateau itself if you’re visiting in summer. Another historic building to check out nearby is the peaceful Royal Abbey of Epau (half an hour), known for the beauty of its Cistercian architecture and stained-glass windows. And of course a visit to Le Mans (35 minutes) should be considered too. You might be lucky enough to hit town when the famed annual 24-hour car race is on (in June), but this is a historic place with plenty to enthral any time of year. You can see remains of the Gallo-Roman walls, stroll by half-timbered houses within the Old Town and get your fill of vintage sports cars in the interactive Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
