Camping Les Herlequins

Imagine waking up to birdsong and panoramic water views — that’s what awaits you at Camping Les Herlequins, a picturesque campsite set along the serene Saône River in the heart of Burgundy. The site spreads across about 36 hectares of peaceful greenery and offers 65 spacious, partly shaded pitches — perfect for tent camping, motorhomes, caravans, and seasonal guests alike, many with direct river access for fishing, relaxing, or watching boats drift by.

Whether you’re planning a summer adventure or a cozy winter getaway, this campsite is open year-round, 7 days a week, making it a must-visit destination in all seasons.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel at home with an array of facilities designed for comfort and connection. A heated restaurant and lively bar welcome guests every day, serving breakfasts, lunches, and dinners crafted with fresh local ingredients, plus drinks in a friendly atmosphere.

Families will love the variety of outdoor fun, including a children’s play area with swings and a slide, a petanque court, a mini football pitch, and even bike rental — including electric bikes for scenic tours along the river.

Inside the campsite you’ll also find modern heated showers and toilets, free Wi-Fi coverage throughout the site, and plenty of parking — all creating a perfect balance of comfort and nature.

Set in charming Saint-Usage, Camping Les Herlequins puts you within easy reach of the lively quays and shops of Saint-Jean-de-Losne, just a short bike ride or stroll from the campsite. Local trails and riverbanks invite you to explore on foot or by pedal, while fishing enthusiasts can cast right from the riverside beaches.

Just 5 minutes by car you’ll reach the historic town center of Saint-Jean-de-Losne, where cafés, bakeries, and riverside promenades offer the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening aperitif.

For day trips further afield, quaint Burgundy villages and attractions like Auxonne (about 20 minutes’ drive) and Dijon (about 45 minutes’ drive) await with museums, markets, and regional gastronomy.

Nature lovers will enjoy long walks along the Saône, wildlife watching, and boat-rental excursions — including electric boats you can hire right from the campsite — for a peaceful day on the water.

Before you arrive, it’s good to know that Camping Les Herlequins accommodates both short and long stays throughout the year. Open every day, the campsite operates with flexible arrival times and friendly staff ready to help plan your activities.

While many pitches are grassy and shaded, keep in mind that in wetter seasons some areas can be soft underfoot — especially near the water — so waterproof footwear is helpful.

Pets are welcome, and the site’s communal spaces — like the restaurant terrace or play areas — make it easy for families and groups to enjoy time together. The restaurant often features local Burgundian dishes and will happily accommodate breakfast, lunch, or dinner during your stay.

Remember to bring fishing gear if you plan to cast from the riverbank, and consider booking bike rentals ahead of time during peak season. With free Wi-Fi, heated facilities, and a warm community vibe, your stay is sure to be both relaxing and full of adventure.
