  • Scenic and spacious site on the banks of the Saône, 5km from the A6
  • Among trees and greenery with free leisure centre access next door
  • Waterside bar-restaurant, playground, fishing, shop and summer events
Swans, you say? And perhaps also a pretty pontoon for plonking yourself down on for evening idling, feet in the water as the sun sets? Sure you do. And so, book a stay at Burgundy's Camping La Clé de Saône, where you can have the lot, before retreating a mere few steps to a roomy waterside pitch. You may of course opt not to have a waterside pitch when here, and pas de probleme if so: guests can pick from shaded delimited pitches instead, or ones nearer to the amenities. (If you do crave pitching up by the river, however, let the site know when you book so they can accommodate you if there's room.) And that river? It's the Sâone, flowing past Camping La Clé de Saône on its 473-kilometre run from the Vosges mountains all the way along to Lyon. You can idle hours away on the site grounds while eyeing up swans from the pontoon; riverside lushness will also be easily yours when you amble to the bar-restaurant for meals, drinks and ice cream right at the water's edge. If that's not quite enough water for you, a lake is next to the site too, with free access to its facilities for Camping La Clé de Saône guests – as well as to the leisure centre next door. You'll also be within nifty reach of easy exploring: Camping La Clé de Saône's setting a few minutes' drive from the Saône-et-Loire village of Crêches-sur-Saône is five kilometres from the Mâcon exit of the A6, at the foot of the Beaujolais and Mâconnais mountains and close to the Burgundy vineyards. Other facilities include a playground, wifi, tourist info at reception, a food shop, and summer events such as pétanque competitions and themed evenings.

What customers say

This campsite gets rave reviews for its beautiful riverside spot and roomy, flat pitches. Staff are frequently mentioned as friendly and helpful, with the on-site restaurant and nearby grocery store also scoring points. Some facilities are a bit dated but kept clean. A few guests found drainage issues and occasional external noise, and one late arrival had a less-than-great experience. It's a good stopover, especially near the A6.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite (comfort)

Liked Location especially if you can get a pitch next to the river. Shade provided by the trees would be welcome in height of summer. The reception staff.

Disliked Pitch was boggy in places. The facilities very tired and fairly basic. Variable water temperature in the showers, hot then cold.

Liked Space, level ground, staff helpful, restaurant by river, lots of shade

Disliked No on pitch water or drains ( although was advertised) the place looks slightly down at heel and needs investment to bring it up to modern standards

Liked Schöner, ruhiger Platz zum Verweilen auf der Durchreise. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Kinder fanden den Spielplatz perfekt für einen Aufenthalt. Die Betreiber waren ebenfalls sehr nett. Auch Hunde sind da sehr willkommen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Disliked Leider kein Toilettenpapier auf den Toiletten.

Liked We booked ahead but it had a lot of empty pitches. The site has a small bar and restaurant on the riverside that looked nice.
We only stayed one night as we’re heading south but will certainly use it again
Handy from the A6 motorway.
The facilities, although a bit older were clean and had plenty of showers and wash cubicles. There were plenty of sinks for washing dishes and clothes and the reception offered hire of a variety of items and you can even buy a platter of charcuterie and bottle of wine .
Pitches were large
You are very close to a large shopping centre with an Carrefour supermarket and other outlets.

Disliked Nothing. Perfect quiet site in a nice location.

Local attractions

The team thoroughly recommends trips around the famed Burgundy vineyards, as well as the many hiking and cycling routes in the region such as the seven-kilometre path via the local village and the Circuit VTT mountain bike trail twice crossing the Saône. Another heady trek is around the ancient landmark of the Rock of Solutré (20 minutes' drive away), a limestone escarpment just outside Mâcon that's been home to humans for over 55,000 years. It's surrounded by vineyards these days (but of course), so take some time to potter around those too – the vino you seek for souvenirs is the AOC Pouilly-Fuissé. There's a wine park around these parts as well, the Hameau Duboeuf at Romaneche-Thorins: get there within 20 minutes' drive for exhibitions, events and eight themed gardens. For restless offspring, the zoo, rides and waterslides of Touroparc are 10 minutes away.
