Camping La Steniole

To thoroughly amuse tiddlers, a visit to Ecoparc Junior, half an hour’s drive away, should be high up on the list of things to get stuck into: wilderness games and ecology awareness trails are set across two hectares along the banks of the Cleurie river, as well as a nature walk broken up by suspended rope bridges, tunnels and nets. For something water-based, head to the lakes of Gérardmer and Longemer, both south of the site and easily reached by car. Or should you want to take things especially easy, head to the thermal springs in Vittel, Plombières, Contrexéville and Bains les Bains, all within an hour and 15 minutes’ drive. Also within easy reach is the Fraispertuis City theme park at Jeanménil, about 40 minutes’ drive away.
