  • Peaceful family-friendly site next to the Ognon river
  • Spectacular riverside setting a kilometre's stroll from Pesmes
  • Canoeing trips and fishing on the adjacent river and from Pesmes
Peaceful, pretty, next to a river and a short drive from the Jura mountains... if you reckon you can be as energised or as idle as you like at the Haute-Saône's Camping la Colombière, you'll surely reckon right. Your idle options include just idling around this spectacularly scenic Franche-Comté site – 'beautiful' and 'stunning' are how chuffed former guests have summed up its setting – and it's easy to get active too, with canoeing and paddleboarding trips within a kilometre or close by at Marney lake. The Ognon river flows past the site if you'd care for some angling (or sitting lazily by the river if you can bag a waterside pitch). Camping la Colombière is a quiet and family-friendly site in eastern France, a kilometre and within easy ambling distance from the spectacularly scenic town of Pesmes. Townie sightseeing (and activities, should you further please) are simply sorted from here too: Dole is 25 minutes' drive from here, Dijon 45, and both Beaune and Besançon within 55.

What customers say

Beautiful riverside site with spacious spots. Staff are super friendly & helpful; facilities are clean, and it's very peaceful. Close to Pesmes village for walks & shops. Canoeing on the Ognon is a hit. Mostly great, but one found facilities broken & refund denied.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked We loved this little campsite. Very friendly reception. Clean toilet / washing facilities. Gorgeous location next to river under the beautiful town of Pesmes (worth a visit).
We also walked to the sculpture trail at the nearby village of Malans (35 minute walk). This is set in the wooded grounds of a chateau.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Nothing

Disliked After travelling over 5 hours we arrived to a site with no facilities. Person who greeted us did not even work there, everything he showed us did not work, no water, no cassette toilet emptying available, everything was covered in cobwebs obviously not used or checked recently. We paid unfortunately before being showed around to what wasn’t working. Decided not to stay and company refused to give a refund.

Ideal for a stop over.

Liked Stunning pitch overlooking the river. Lots of space on the pitch. Supermarket within walking distance for extra bits and bobs or a full shopping trip.
We never visit the same place twice, but would like to see this site in sunshine.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Lovely location right on the river.
Facilities (in rear of site) are great.
Friendly staff with excellent English.

Disliked Facilities near reception are a bit small and ‘tired’. Just use the other ones.

Pesmes doesn’t have anything in it!

Liked Schöner, ruhig gelegener Campingplatz mit sehr großzügigen Parzellen. Äußerst freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Direkt am Fluss Ognon gelegen. Kanuvermietung am Platz. Der sehr langsam fließende Ognon lädt zu einer Kanutour ein. Kleiner Badestrand 100 m vom Campingplatz.
Direkt beim Campingplatz ist das Restaurant Les Jardins Gourmands mit guter Küche und schöner Terrasse.

Liked Great little site. Location was peaceful and interesting. The walk from the campsite to the village and its walled grounds was lovely. Dogs loved swimming in the river and walking to get your baguette and pastry every morning was a joy.

Disliked Bathrooms were adequate but not luxury.

Local attractions

The handsome little town of Pesmes on the banks of the Ognan has scenic sights aplenty including 16th-century houses, a medieval castle and the 12th-century Church of Saint-Hilaire with bell tower. Cross the bridge from town to the other side of the river to look back for the best views, of the 16th-century houses and the castle on Pesmes' hill. A hugely famed old site is within easy reach of Camping la Colombière: the French Town of Art and History settlement of Besançon (45 minutes' drive), home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of 17th-century fortress the Citadel of Besançon. This is a splendid spot for all ages and a must-do for a day trip: the citadel has several museums telling the heady tale of the human and animal habitation of the region, as well as a zoo, an insectarium, an aquarium and a farm to keep kids content. If you're now up for some more energetic activity, it's about 20 minutes' drive from the site to Marnay, to get stuck into mountain biking and archery, and 40 minutes to the Acro'Mania adventure park for roaming around the forest of Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur.
