  • Family-friendly site by the Saône river, a half-hour drive from Dijon
  • ‘Blue route’ cycling path, kayaking, sailing and fishing all nearby
  • Food shop on site; fresh bread available to order
If you like hols heavy on water activities, where better to pitch up than on a riverbank? Here, it’s the banks of the Saône river, and you’ll be staying at the family-friendly Camping De L'Arquebuse just outside Athée, half an hour's drive from Dijon. Kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding and fishing are all on the cards here, and the local swimming pool is next door for splashes away from the river. On site there’s plenty more active stuff going on, including volleyball games, trampolining and pétanque tournaments. And if that’s not enough to tire the kids out, there’s also a playground. Foodie supplies can be picked up a 10-minute walk away in Auxonne, for folk planning to blaze up their own barbecue fare, along with various eateries for tastes of local fare. Practical stuff on site includes amenity blocks with toilets and showers and a washing-up area. There’s also a launderette with ironing kit (handy news for those whose packing style leaves them a tad rumpled).

What customers say

Lovely riverside spot near town, with plenty of shady pitches. Staff are sound, facilities are grand, and the craic is good. Just a heads-up, the loos are a bit old-fashioned and often missing paper or soap. Some found the amenity descriptions a bit off.

Amazone 2 bedroom safari tent (five person)

Liked Friendly owner/staff

Disliked It was fairly expensive for the very basic provision.

The toilets and showers were dirty. Make sure to take toilet paper as none is supplied.

The swimming pool next door was closed, in the process of demolition and rebuild (out of control of campsite, but we booked as we wanted a swimming pool). This should be reflected on the booking page.

The river wasn't suitable for swimming in.

It's advertised as family friendly however there is no decent child's area, there is an old and tired outside gym (for over 14's) and a bounce house that goes up around 6.30pm. Other than that, there is little in terms of kids entertainment, so bring your own.

Local attractions

There are plenty of ways to explore this part of the Côte-d'Or. A top choice is to link up with the ‘blue route’, a scenic cycling and walking path which runs along the Saône, from Lyon to Haute-Saône. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take a bird's-eye view from a hot air balloon (it’s possible to leave directly from the site). Load up the car for days out instead – 20 minutes away in Dole you can take tours of the Collégiale Notre-Dame de Dole church, Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Mont-Roland and Museum of Fine Arts. If you’d prefer outdoor explores, aim for a wander in the pretty Jardin de Landon or splashing times at Aquaparc Isis. The capital city of Burgundy, Dijon (half an hour), is another fine choice for a visit. It may be known the world over for its mighty fine mustard, but it’s also a big wine-making area, so wine tours and tastings should be on the schedule here. It’s also got impressive buildings aplenty – on your to-see list should be the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne de Dijon and the Church of Notre-Dame of Dijon, as well as the vast Palace of the Dukes, which houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
