  • Peaceful family-friendly site on the banks of the Loire in Digoin
  • A 15-minute drive to Paray-le-Monial; half an hour to Le Pal
  • Swimming pool and play area on site, plus river access for fishing
Settle down on the banks of the River Loire for a stay that’s got both peaceful surroundings and handy amenities. Camping La Chevrette is in a tree-filled Burgundy location right next to the river on the edge of the little town of Digoin, so it has those lovely rural views but it’s also got several bakeries, shops and restaurants within 10 minutes’ walk. The site has been set up to make the most of its natural surroundings, with lots of plants and flowers around the park and access to the river bank for picnics or fishing. A greenway runs close by for walks, bike rides and rollerblading by the river – and there’s an open-air pool back on site where you can cool off with a dip afterwards. Other facilities on site include a play area and games room to keep the kids entertained, plus a launderette, bathroom block and small food shop to make life’s essentials straightforward. The Loire isn’t the only waterway in Digoin – in fact, it’s something of an aquatic crossroads as it also has four canals. That means lots of scope for relaxing waterside walks, boat trips, wildlife spotting and fishing nearby as well as outings into the surrounding area for walks, bike rides and village visits.

Local attractions

Digoin has several attractions of its own, including the ceramics museum, the ObservaLoire nature museum and the Digoin Canal Bridge. There are a couple of lovely Romanesque churches to visit too, and places where you can join boat trips to explore the local area. For more of the area’s history, take an outing to the Basilica of Paray-le-Monial (15 minutes’ drive), the grand Château de Digoine (20 minutes) or the lavish Château de Cormatin (50 minutes). The CNCS - Centre National du Costume de Scène in Moulins (50 minutes) also makes a fascinating trip for theatre fans. If such things don’t find favour with the kids, set off instead for Le Pal (half an hour), a family-friendly theme park with rides, shows and animals to meet. There’s a horse riding centre about 25 minutes’ drive away too, and the treetop trails of Acro’Bath are 40 minutes away.

2 bedroom lodge

Liked: Compte tenu de la saison et des températures mais soleil 7/7

Bon séjour dédié bcp plus au tourisme sur les nombreux lieux classés ou remarquables, une seule sortie vélo sur la semaine.

Côté camping :
Très bon accueil et services. Prix de saison attractif.

Disliked: Les chalets mériterait cependant de la part du propriétaire plus d'investissement et d'entretien sur le vieillissement des installations.
Notamment sur une possibilité d'extension des locations dans le calendrier de septembre et pourquoi pas octobre… ces mois étant de +/+ demandés par une clientèle sénior. ( Chauffage appoint, piscine...mobilier moins encombrant, prises électriques mieux dispatchées, éclairage insuffisant pour des yeux vétérans, matelas changés ( fatigués et fatigants )
Tout cela pensé et ressenti par du vétéran pas forcément douillé mais qui reste sans doute plus longtemps dans le couvert et moins sur les pistes :))

Liked: the town and canel were amazing the owners were really friendly and helpful.

Disliked: The site is very run down especially the toilet and showers needs an overhaul. People cutting through holes in hedges whilst eating your dinner. We didn’t use any of the facilities.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: L’accueil souriant, la taille généreuse des emplacements, la situation en bord de Loire, la piscine privée.

Disliked: La vétusté des sanitaires et leur nombre insuffisant : 2 blocs étaient fermés. La désertification du centre historique de Digoin.
