  • At the gateway to the high Jura mountains and the Jura lakes
  • Microlight flights, circus school, canoe hire and horse riding nearby
  • Fishing, hiking and mountain biking 5km away at Lac de Chalain
A most impressive plethora of pastimes is near Camping Sous Doriat in the Jura department. You could, for example, have watery sports of all flavours at the Ain river two kilometres away and within five at Lac de Chalain, the biggest lake in Jura. Or you could travel intrepidly to the town of Champagnole, 10 kilometres away, for active adventures at the gateway to the high Jura mountains and the Jura lakes, and the start of the 40-kilometre Route des Sapins (Pine Road), which crosses the Frese, Joux and Levier forests. If none of these splendid pursuits has made the ears of your little clowns perk up, another option is to stay close to your Franche-Comté base to check out the summer circus school. Bigger kids (with lionhearted parents) will no doubt like to soar up high with a microlight flight, and all ages can have a canter through this handsome countryside with the help of the local horse riding centre. Hiking, fishing and mountain biking are all around to try out as well. Camping Sous Doriat is a peaceful and family-friendly site, less than 10 minutes' walk from its local town of Monnet-la-Ville. It has pitches surrounded by scenic green countryside, and decent amenities including two modern accessible bathroom blocks open 24 hours a day with unlimited hot water and a baby bathroom. Summer sees all manner of activities for all sizes on site, such as water polo games in the big heated pool (open in July and August), ping pong and pétanque tournaments and music nights. Other facilities include a playground and a multisports pitch.

Liked: This is a lovely site in the rural area of the Juras. The swimming pool was amazing and a welcome relief to the heat. Brilliant dark skies for start gazing, but beware of the wildlife, both flying and four legged!

Disliked: Les horaires sur le site sont fausses, on doit arriver après 12h et repartir avant 12h, contrairement au site qui dit qu'on peut arrivee et repartir quand on veut dans la journée. On a donc dû attendre 2h30 notre emplacement. De plus l'accueil téléphonique et à la reception était médiocre, pas agréable, c'est limite si on dérange. De plus si on a pas de voiture on ne peut casiment rien faire dans le coin.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Nous avons beaucoup aimé précommander le peut déjeuner ou le repas du soir c’était très bon ! L’ambiance était au rendez-vous, il y à également pas mal d’activités pour les enfants

Disliked: Nous avons trouvé les toilettes et les douches sales. Malheureusement cela n’était pas de votre faute mais celle des clients qui ne nettoie pas après leurs passage…c’est irrespectueux.. Nous avons également payé le wi-fi mais il ne fonctionnait que à certain moment avec beaucoup de mal..

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Close to lakes and the Jura scenary. Easy access and nice view from pitch. It was nice to have the pool when the weather was hot. A typically french site, with a few other european campers. Low key animation, bread each morning etc.

Disliked: Of the two shower blocks, one is excellent, in the other one the showers are very fierce and uncomfortable. They were unaware of our pitch up reservation when we arrived, though it was sorted out after a few minutes.

Local attractions

Microlight flights, canoe rental, that summer circus school and horse riding lessons are all available near the site, along with fishing, canoeing and mountain biking around the waters of the Ain river. The famed expanse of Lac de Chalain, Jura's biggest natural lake, is around five kilometres from Camping Sous Doriat. It's a popular place for activities on and around the water, including more fishing, canoeing and mountain biking, and circular lakeside hikes such as one taking you up to the Fontenu viewpoint for a spectacular vista over the area's four lakes. Look out just under the water for the well-reserved remains of the area's stilt houses, dating back over 3,000 years. Within easy day trip distance, drive along to the Baume-les-Messieur caves (17 kilometres or 20 minutes' drive), the Hérisson Falls, and the Arbois vineyards, both within 30-40 minutes, and the UNESCO-listed Salins-les-Bains saltworks, 35 minutes' drive away.
