  • Small family-friendly site in the Avesnois Regional Natural Park
  • A 10-minute drive from EuroVelo 3 and 20 minutes from Maroilles
  • Snack bar, playground, pétanque, table tennis and play area on site
Small, green and family-friendly, Camping au Bol d’Air is a 'life project' thoughtfully put together by two keen campers and hikers. Their love for camping and nature is evident; the site has lots of lush green space, a terrace and a covered area where guests can gather to exchange tips or bury their heads in a good book. It’s also rather handily located in the Avesnois Regional Natural Park, putting it within easy reach of hiking trails and a 10-minute drive from two of its most popular cycling trails: the long-distance EuroVelo 3 (also called La Scandibérique) and the Avesnois greenway. Families and groups are all likely to appreciate the nice range of on-site facilities, which covers the likes of pétanque, table tennis and games of your own choosing at the multisports ground. Send the kids to the playground, before fitting in a quick lunch or dinner at the snack bar, which dishes out quick meals like paninis, chips and pizza. Creative, musical and sports activities are also arranged on site on the weekends. Of course, you may already be busy tasting the creamy cow’ 'cheese produced in the riverside village of Maroilles, 20 minutes’ drive away, or visiting the botanical gardens in Sains-du-Nord, five minutes’ drive away. You might want to save the cheese tasting for after any big activities, of course; watersports, tree climbing and walking are all popular picks around Val-Joly Lake, which is only a 15-minute drive from the site.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful retreat with friendly, new owners revitalizing the grounds. Sites are roomy and private, with simple but spotless facilities. Guests enjoyed the bar and nearby attractions. Despite dated sports facilities and limited on-site trails, the welcoming hosts and good value make it a top pick.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked A perfect site for a few nights on our way south. The owners have recently taken over the site and are working hard to build a successful business...they will succeed.
Exceptional welcome, a great attitude, and a bar serving local beers and snacks! The facilities are all you need and are clean!

Power optional grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great campsite with good facilities. We travelled with bikes and the owner had a great pitch for us to easily store them behind trees. A lovely place to stay!

Disliked Plenty of toilets, but only a couple were open and in use for the whole campsite.

Liked Lovely area, is run by kind and welcoming people.

Can enjoy a calm and quiet stay on the camping. The camping facilities are clean

Some nice exhibitions in the area; MusVerre ( Glass museum ) was really nice, there is a free Botanic gardens (La Maison du Bocage & le Jardin Botanique) to visit nearby and overall plenty of fun activities in the Ardennes to be arranged.

Do check opening times / days beforehand.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked De geweldige ontvangst, jong stel vol plannen om de camping nieuw leven in te blazen. Alles eenvoudig, toe aan renovatie maar brandschoon.

Disliked Om de hond uit te laten of te wandelen vanaf de camping weinig ruimte. Vanaf de camping sta je gelijk op de weg ,onder voet/ fietspad.

Will definitely return if we are in this part of France again

Local attractions

Camping au Bol d’Air has a handy position in the centre of the Avesnois Regional Natural Park, surrounded by woodlands and farmlands, and never too far from hiking or cycling trails and other outdoor activities. High-energy days can be spent taking buggy rides through the forest from the outdoor activity centre in Beugnies (10 minutes’ drive) or forming a fierce team at the paintballing centre in Solre-le-Château (15 minutes). If you’re looking for lighter activities suited to younger children, try the adventure maze at Labyrinthe Aventure (10 minutes) near Liessies; the commune’s abbey, church and park are also nice for a short stroll. You’ll need to plan ahead to visit the former 15th-century Castle of Trélon (15 minutes); guided tours run throughout the day to look at the old tapestries, artworks and Sèvres porcelain. Perhaps you’d like to check out a few of the museums in the Avesnois Regional Natural Park, too. There are glass exhibits at the Musverre (10 minutes), running machinery from the Fourmies textile history at the MTVS (15 minutes) eco museum and Roman ruins at Bavay's ancient forum (35 minutes). Artworks by Henri Matisse are the focal point at the Matisse Museum (45 minutes) in Le Cateau-Cambrésis.
