  • Spacious family-friendly site in the scenic Haute-Marne
  • A five-minute drive from Langres and the source of the Marne river
  • Outdoor pool, miniature golf, sauna, restaurant and small food shop
When hols among trees, close to watersports and within easy reach of a healthy dash of history are beckoning, pop that cork in celebration at finding Camping de La Croix d’Arles, a family-friendly site in the Champagne-Ardenne (five minutes’ drive from Bourg and Langres) that ticks all those boxes. Stays on this well-wooded site will see guests able to unwind in hammocks slung beneath cherry, oak and pine trees, swim, hike and birdwatch on the nearby Villegusien lake (10 minutes from base – it’s a reservoir in truth, but one of the famed four lakes of Langres), and dive into history at a handful of spots including old Gallo-Roman ruins. If exploring far beyond site sounds like too much, opt to stay put instead. Guests can spend days taking cooling dips in the outdoor pool or lounging poolside, trying hands at pétanque or miniature golf, finding peace in the sauna, or spending quiet moments on the terrace. Eats are well-catered for here too: barbecue facilities are dotted around site and supplies can be secured at the small food shop. Prefer to let someone else do the cooking? A restaurant is open from April to mid-October, and has special menus for kids and those with dietary restrictions.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: This is, by far, the friendliest site we have stayed at. The moment you arrive you are met by a welcoming smile and that continues through the whole stay, from all the staff. You can choose your own pitch and the site is very well maintained and attractive. The weather was awful for us, but we could appreciate the facilities that we would have used, should it have been sunny. We eat in the restaurant and the food was excellent, home cooked, good quality and plentiful. As we were leaving our motorhome got stuck, but we were soon helped out by the owners and staff. What a great crowd, thank you

Michael S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: A very spacious site with generously sized pitches, all with hard standing. Choosing your own pitch on a first come, first served basis was nice as we picked a good one. The swimming pool was a good size with a nice surrounding area and plenty of loungers and relaxer chairs. The proximity of this site to a main holiday route means that the proportion of single night stays is exceptionally high (though we stayed 3 nights and explored the region with Langres worth a visit). The site therefore tends to be quiet between about 10am and 2pm whilst the many comings and goings at either end of each day are not intrusive.

Disliked: The reception is closed between 9.30 and 2pm so help is not available for a large chunk of the day. New arrivals between those hours are invited to pick a pitch and come back after 2pm which raises the prospect of the site being full before someone who has a paid reservation arrives.

Local attractions

Stays hereabouts would be incomplete without a taste of history, so get started with a trip into Langres, five minutes’ drive away. The small town is home to an impressive fortified wall (parts of which are more than 2,000 years old) with seven towers and seven gateways. Begin visits to the town by walking or biking the ramparts, then turn attention to the cathedral and the stunning Navarre Tower. For non-drivers, Langres can be reached via a greenway joinable 700 metres from the site. Hikes and bike rides along this route will also bring explorers as far as La Liez, the largest of the four lakes (otherwise a 20-minute drive), where waterskiing, wakeboarding and sailing are to be tried, and where pike and carp can be caught. A sandy beach also beckons for lazy days of swimming and sunbathing. The other two lakes – La Mouche and Charmes – are within 25 minutes, and it’s just five minutes from base to the source of the mighty Marne river. This is France, bien sûr, so it should come as no surprise that a wealth of chateaux are within reach. The nearest is Château du Pailly, 15 minutes away, which is considered one of the best examples of renaissance architecture in Champagne-Ardenne. Castles aren’t the only historical draw round here either: the abandoned (yet scenic) forts of Cognelot and Peigney are both within 15 minutes, and the pristinely pretty 12th-century Abbaye Auberive is 25 minutes away.
