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.

Michael S. Aug 2023

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

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.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Shade, easy to find from motorway, size of pitch, lots of hot water for shower and washing up, swimming pool, friendly staff

Disliked: Pick a pitch, no assigned pitches, difficult to find appropriate pitch, bathrooms stank, just needed looking after in general, bushes cutting back, grass mowed, etc

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this campsite. Popular as a one night stopoff by many, La Croix D'Arles is a functional, peaceful and tidy site with welcoming and helpful staff. It is ideally situated close to the historic town of Langres and there are many good cycle routes on the minor roads and tracks which cross the area. We loved our stay which ended up being 10 days!

Disliked: Nothing

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.
