Before you book your stay, here are some helpful tips to make the most out of your experience at Camping de la Seine:

Season and Opening Times: The camping area officially runs from early April through mid‑October, with reception typically open daily from 09:00 to 19:00 during the season. Rental accommodations may be available outside this period year‑round.

Booking in Advance is Recommended: Because the site is relatively small with a limited number of touring pitches and rental units, pitches and yurts can fill up quickly during peak seasons — especially summer holidays and weekends.

Motorhome Services: Camper vans and motorhomes are welcome, and the campsite provides essential services like water supply, waste discharge points and electricity hookups.

Pets Allowed: Dogs are permitted when kept under control on a leash — ideal for visitors who want to bring their four‑legged friends along.

Quiet Atmosphere: Many guests highlight the peaceful environment, making it great for families, couples and nature lovers. Guest feedback often praises the serene surroundings, though some note that limited entertainment is balanced by the natural calm and authentic camping experience.

Local Tips: Bring bicycles or plan to rent them to explore nearby villages, abbeys and river trails — it’s one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the region’s beauty.
