Camping de Thoissey - Val de Saône

View prices & book 7.8 34 reviews

Family-friendly site with tree-shaded pitches, on the Saône river
Water Gardens 10 minutes’ drive; Beaujolais vineyards 15 minutes
Playground and pétanque; restaurant and riverside bar

On the outskirts of the village of the same name, Camping de Thoissey - Val de Saône sits where the Chalaronne river flows into the Saône, in the eastern department of Ain. The vineyards of the Beaujolais region (15 minutes’ drive) extend just across the Saône and are excellent destinations for interesting (wine-soaked) excursions. Hold that thought. Before driving (or cycling) through the French countryside looking for wineries and cellars, take some time to discover where you’ll be staying. Shaded by tall trees, the site has plenty to keep the entire family entertained, including a play area. For water-based activities, make your way to the marina on the river, where you can arrange a boat tour or a fishing expedition. The calm waters of the Chalaronne are popular with paddleboarders and kayakers, or you can have a go at wakeboarding and waterskiing at Totem Wake Park (20 minutes). After a meal at the on-site restaurant (which serves burgers, pizzas and other classics), you can relax with a drink at the riverside tables, watching a game of pétanque and catching the sunset before heading back to your accommodation to get ready for an evening of organised entertainment. In addition to several restaurants and cafés, Thoissey village has a bakery and a grocery store for your provisions (should you want to do your own cooking or decide to have a barbecue). The site is also next to a public swimming pool (open in July and August only).

Liked: Loved the pitch we had on the outside edge looking over the fields … saw a pair of owls in the late evening. Facilities were very good, warm shower, clean toilets. Wife and daughter loved the pool and the diving board. Would stay again.

Liked: The relaxed atmosphere, the location, the access to the municipal pool which was included in the stay, the facilities including a bar with authentic French events in the evening and access to 2 further restaurants at the entrance of the site (you have to book). There was a 15-20 min walk along the river into the town which was lovely. You could hire canoes or a boat (you will need cash and ID) €130 for 4 hours for the boat which we took to Macon where there was free mooring and you can go and look around which was well worth a visit. Large pitches with lots of shade from the trees. We would definitely recommend this site.

Disliked: You had to collect the passes for the pool each day from reception. The site would rather give them to you for the duration of your stay but the pool want it done on a daily basis.

Local attractions

Crossed by wooden bridges, the ponds and streams at the Water Gardens (10 minutes’ drive) aim to recreate a peaceful, Zen-like Asian landscape, complete with floating lotus plants, waterfalls and a bamboo garden. In addition to colourful koi carp, you might spot frogs, herons and dragonflies. Big cats, giraffes and lemurs are among the residents at Touroparc Zoo (10 minutes), which stretches over 12 luxuriant hectares. There are also attractions for children, especially younger ones, with a traditional carousel and a miniature train. Meanwhile, adventurous kids can go on a tree-climbing course. Wine lovers should head to Hameau Duboeuf (10 minutes), a theme park with a distinct vinous focus. Interactive exhibits (such as a flight over the vineyards of Beaujolais) illustrate the local viticultural heritage, and you can also visit a cellar with oak and stainless-steel vats – before the inevitable tasting session.
