  • Quiet and scenic site halfway between Dijon and Lyon
  • Well placed for visiting the Burgundy and Beaujolais wine areas
  • Pool, pétanque, play area, library and flower-filled gardens
If you’re one of those old romantics with a soft spot for days filled with flowers and wine, you’ll fit right in at Camping Les Ripettes, a peaceful little spot just outside Pont de Vaux in the Rhône-Alpes. Flowers are courtesy of owner Isabelle, who dedicates many of her days to planting all sorts of flora at her park to ensure the place is constantly bursting with blooms. And the wine – well, the wine comes from the many vineyards dotted all around this verdant part of the world, with several within an hour's drive. Midway between Dijon and Lyon, Les Ripettes is handily placed not only for visiting wineries but also for birdwatching, pottering around in the surrounding wetlands and canoeing on the Saône river. But it’s not just the location that makes this such a fab choice – it’s also a mighty friendly and relaxed place with games of volleyball, badminton, table tennis and pétanque to fill your time, along with a pool for cooling dips and a play area for the amusement of les enfants. Secretly hoping for a prolonged period of doing nothing? This is the place to embrace it – take a wander through the gardens and select a spot in which to settle. Should you run out of reading matter, there’s a little library to peruse and free wifi to keep your gadget updated. In high season you can buy wine, cold drinks and ice creams on site and order morning bread and pastries to be delivered. Over the summer a snack bar opens three times a week and there’s a pizza takeaway service once a week.

What customers say

This quiet, green, well-kept site boasts friendly owners, spacious spots, clean amenities, and a lovely pool. Fresh bread is a hit! A few note the pool can be crowded and toilet numbers are sometimes mentioned. Low bridges on some access roads.

Power optional grass campsite (XL)

Liked Very friendly service at reception, pool was good and the pitch size is massive we were fortunate enough to get near toilet and pool. Pool is not massive but clean

Disliked Wifi is just at reception area but we were informed that they are extending it to all the site next year??

From the manager: Bonsoir Monsieur, Bonsoir Madame, Merci pour votre remarque, en effet, le wifi va être installé cet hiver sur tout le camping.
A l'année prochaine.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Absolutely lovely site, possibly the most chilled and relaxed stay of our tour, sadly just passing through. There was small issue with the barrier not letting us in at the start but the owner said he’d give us a free night if we came back! The bar and restaurant a must, very quick service, tidy site and good loos and showers.

Power optional grass campsite (XL)

Liked Really nice low key campsite, calm and no fuss atmosphere, very friendly owners. Lots of trees. The tent spots are massive. No need to book an XL. Toilets block very clean.

Disliked Noisy at night with music and a party which I don’t think was at the campsite but somewhere nearby.

From the manager: Bonjour Monsieur, Bonjour Madame, Merci pour votre bon retour concernant notre camping.
Pour la musique, cela se passait dans une ferme à 1km du camping, nous ne pouvons rien faire, cela se produit rarement.
A une prochaine fois j'espère.

Local attractions

Wine-based days are within day-trip distance: take tours, taste the wares and pick up single bottles or several cases – all up to you. The Burgundy region is an hour’s drive away, and the vineyards and wineries around Mâcon about 20 minutes or so. From Mâcon, follow the wine trail down the banks of the Saône river as far as Beaujolais, calling into numerous vineyards that overlook the river as you go. (Should you prefer to head straight to Beaujolais, it’s about a 50-minute drive). A spot of gentle exercise is almost certainly a good idea too when your hols are likely to involve much guzzling: walks close to the site take in the wetlands that are a real birdwatching haven, and villages full of timbered farmhouses with decorative Saracen chimneys to keep an eye out for. Horse and pony riding trips run from an equestrian centre five minutes’ drive away, or head to Mâcon for a pleasant paddle on the waters of the Saône in a canoe or kayak.
