  • Peaceful dog-friendly site 200 metres from Lac de Villegusien
  • A 20-minute walk from a watersports centre with canoe and kayak rental
  • Outdoor pool and entertainment; windsurfing, tennis and boating
So you’re heading to Haute-Marne with windsurfing, boating and peaceful swims in mind? Take your map in hand and circle Camping du Lac de la Villegusien. Just 200 metres from Lac de Villegusien and one kilometre from the centre of Villegusien-le-Lac in Grand Est, this dog-friendly site is all about holidays dabbling in watersports, visiting local watermills and unwinding by the pool. That’s right – there’s an outdoor swimming pool on site for those of you who’d like to toss a ball back and forth or practise your front stroke. If you’re the sporty type, get strapped in for the site’s windsurfing and boating activities. On dry land, there’s a tennis court or a table tennis court too. Of course, you might want to add to your watersports skillset by taking the 20-minute stroll to the local watersports’ centre, which will rent you a canoe, catamaran or kayak. Mountain biking and archery are also on the agenda there. So, what’s the atmosphere like on site, aside from guests carrying their watersports gear to the lake or skipping down to the river, which is also 700 metres away? Well, in the high season, there’s entertainment such as concerts to liven up your nights. You’ll also catch animals lounging on the pitches, as this is a dog-friendly place. Peaceful, friendly and green are some other words that sum up Camping du Lac de la Villegusien. Facilities-wise, are shower and toilets, a launderette, washing-up area and disabled facilities.

Liked Good sizes pitch, the bar/restaurant was great, run well and the food was good, the toilet at the side of the restaurant was a good size and clean.

Disliked Toilets and showers are in urgent need of upgrade, rusty pipes, felt unhygienic and small cubicles. Tennis courts has algae/moss on the surface as does the table tennis table. Pool had cover on that had algae on the cover with frogs in the algae. Don’t be fooled by the photos.

Liked Wir waren nur für eine Übernachtung dort und waren von der Freundlichkeit des Personals, dem schönen Stellplatz aber vor allem dem Restaurant, wo wir für wenig Geld ein hervorragendes Essen bekommen haben, total begeistert. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen und sicher nicht nur für eine Nacht.

From the manager: c'est une grande satisfaction pour notre équipe de recevoir cette belle note et de lire ce sympathique commentaire.
Cela nous encourage à continuer et à améliorer autant que faire se peut nos prestations
MERCI et au plaisir de vous lire

Liked Very friendly site, Elizabeth spoke good English & was helpful.
Lively bar & restaurant, which the local village seems to use too, at reasonable prices. Pool was clean & not busy. Great stopover!! WiFi free & good signal.

Disliked We parked close to the bar area (our choice) & it was busy with people coming & going (in cars) until 11.30pm - (Friday night). If we weren’t leaving early we would definitely have joined in. Just a heads up/ not a moan- if you’re using here as a sleep stop off (or if you have kids) choose to park at the back of the site.
No Paper in the loos :(

From the manager: NICK merci pour nous avoir noté ainsi et avoir pris le temps de commenter votre séjour . Nous vous reverrons , je l'espère avec votre très joli bus une autre fois
Au plaisir

Liked Amazing campsite with fantastic views of the mountains all around. We stayed for 5 nights and found it quiet and peaceful. The train runs through but is not a problem. You park away from your tent which means there are no car doors slamming at night or early in the morning. The facilities are fairly basic but very clean.

Disliked The water in the showers could be a bit hotter. It wasn’t cold though.

From the manager: Nous sommes ravis de lire vos commentaires et de voir cette excellente note que vous nous avez attribuée. Nous prendrons en compte vos observations et ferons tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour améliorer votre prochain séjour chez nous
merci beaucoup

Would return for sure, we really enjoyed our mini stay

Liked Swift service, got to choose our own pitch.
Reasonable price.
Pitches well played out, peaceful and private.
We found level ground and it was easy to pitch.
Great facilities, very clean and well stocked.
Even though we didn't go in a cabin, they looked incredible from the outside with the simple structure. We are inspired to build one similar.

From the manager: Comment vous dire merci beaucoup pour vos appréciations et votre note
C'est un grand plaisir pour nous car nous aimons faire plaisir aux campeurs clients
Si vous avez aimé peut être aurez vous l'occasion de revenir et pourrez ainsi constater les diverses améliorations que nous n'allons pas manquer de réaliser .
MERCI ET A BIENTOT

Local attractions

Kick off a cultural tour with a visit to a local watermill: dinner at The mill over water (five minutes’ drive) or a look around the Baissey (10 minutes) watermill used in Roman times, perhaps? There are also unusual stone snails at Escargots de Cohons (10 minutes). There’s plenty for those who have kids to think of, such as tree-climbing activities in Accrofolie (an hour), paintballing at Paintball & Activités (an hour and five minutes) and theme park rides in Nigloland (an hour and 10 minutes). Perhaps, they’ll want to run barefoot around the mazes at Farm Adventure (an hour and a half) or tour a goat farm at La Ferme Du Charme Du Moulin (an hour and a half). More peaceful days out include garden picnics in the gorgeous Domaine De Verybelle (50 minutes’ walk) or Silière Garden (10 minutes). Wildlife is easy to locate too. Gorges de la Vingeanne (15 minutes) is the only limestone canyon in Haute-Marne and a hot hiking destination, while Langres (20 minutes) has three rivers and the Réserve naturelle nationale de Chalmessin (25 minutes) has heaps of marsh wildlife.
