  • Fully-equipped site in the Burgundy wine region
  • On the shores of the Yonne river
  • More than 60km of biking trails nearby
Guaranteed to make you merry… Burgundy's Camping Merry-sur-Yonne is in smashingly colourful setting on the banks of the Yonne river, in a lush land of flower-filled fields, windmills, long bike rides, fishing, hundreds of kilometres' worth of Yonne sailing, and the plush landscapes of the Burgundy vineyards: have a holiday here to be well chuffed with your lot. The campsite is set in a bend of the Yonne, with designated strolling paths and marked cycle routes (bike hire is available if you haven't brought your own). Its facilities are well set up to see you sorted for days staying on site: there's a restaurant with three-course daily menus, a café, a bar with local beers, and an on-site shop selling local produce. Camping Merry-sur-Yonne also has a luxury toilet block with unlimited water for hot showers as well as swish handmade artisan baths; two tennis courts, and a kids' play zone with swings, slides, and climbing. Parents can sink into the shade of the trees and umbrellas outside the café to keep an eye on the kids over the cocktail of the day or a tasty snack: that might make things somewhat merry too.

What customers say

This tranquil, country site has roomy, shaded pitches & a warm welcome. Visitors love the shop & great food. Toilets are mostly clean, if a bit old. Perfect for cycles & countryside rambles. While a few maintenance niggles were noted, it's overwhelmingly good, with many planning to head back.

From the manager: Hi Mike, we're glad you had a great stay and bon voyage on your adventures.

We do go out of our way to make guests feel as relaxed and as comfortable as possible, thank you for your kind comments.

Regarding our shower/toilet block "aging gracefully" like one guest kindly commented, as we all like to think we are, has it's upgrade/make-over at the end of each year. New showers, taps and lippy etc... are already in storage waiting for Dec/Jan. Throughout the year it does have it's fare share of visitors and it's done us very proud over the last ten years we have been here, it's especially a poke in the eye when people - "who said it would never work" have had to watch us grow VERY successfully more and more each year to their embarrassing chagrin. It's been very much like Marmite, love it or hate it, it works somehow and its quirkiness has become popular and loved, in particular the self contained cubicles where you are simply left alone to do your own thing, no shuffling like miserable cattle from one stall to the next trying to start your day - You're simply in and out and ready to go, ready to roam this beautiful land.

Your concern regarding when we're busy it may cause a wait? Very occasionally, yes, when everyone decides to shower at the same time, but having a little patience and remembering this is camping and not an en-suite room at the Ritz helps with perspective. Plus great news we no longer allow a busy campsite, we prefer a quieter life. We rarely take non-reservations now, so everyone be warned, lol.

I notice your headline for your review is you suggest people to bring a bike, yes, we are roughly 30 minutes (depending on how fast you drive, this is France!) from the city - hoorah! Our camping is very quiet and peaceful. Cycling is hugely popular here, with thousands of return guests every year, enjoying the endless cycle routes flat and a little more testing for the more ambitious/masochistic! Research beforehand is always key to visiting places where ever you holiday - it simply makes the experience better.

It's all one big adventure!

Excellent stopover and walking centre

Local attractions

With luck you'll have booked a couple of weeks, as there's heaps to see and do around Camping Merry-sur-Yonne to attend to all tastes. A horse riding centre, fishing spots and watersports are all nearby if you're feeling active, along with a golf course about half an hour away. The 62-kilometre bike trail near the site runs mostly along the Nivernais canal with only a few hills, so is sorted for family bike rides. A must in the region is the Yonne Vineyards Trail, meandering through the countryside that produces some of the best known Burgundy wines, like famed Chablis and its neighbours in the Auxerrois and Tonnerrois regions, as well the slightly further afield vineyards of Joigny to the north and Vézelay to the south.
