  • Small peaceful site in a green Vosges valley
  • Hike directly from the site into the surrounding forests
  • Friendly and scenic site fishing and library
Crash out here for as long as you can possibly manage, for Camping La Crèche is an utter beaut. Even the amenities are rightly pretty, set in a 100-year-old building and kept immaculate by the rightly friendly team. Elsewhere around, La Crèche has been lauded as 'fantastic', 'stunning, 'lovely' and 'not your usual campsite' by happy former guests, with everything from the setting to the friendly vibe hailed as particularly praiseworthy. Camping La Crèche is a small and peaceful green Vosges valley site, in a woodland with a stream running through it for fishing or toe dipping. It's centred around a main house and its cosily cute outdoor seating area where you can mix with other guests and the amiable site hosts – as well as pay your friendly respects to the site goats and pigs. Hike from here straight into the surrounding forest, or just bag a book from the site library to find your own quiet reading spot. Off site, La Crèche is a few minutes' drive from the town of Le Val-d'Ajol, within easy day trip distance of the Alsace Wine Route and close to spas, biking paths and summer flea markets. You can spark up campfires on site to cook over your own flames. Breakfast and bread service are available on site. French fries are served depending upon the weather conditions.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: Meget charmerende og helt særligt sted , som drives af et imødekommende par. Der er plads under et dejligt halvtag på terrassen, med langbord og plads til mange , her kan man sidde som man har lyst. Spille spil og spise .Der kan bestilles morgenbrød. Et farverigt par som taler fransk, hollandsk og manden taler engelsk. Vi kunne rigtig god lide at være der. Charmerende telt og campingvogns pladser. Der er meg få pladser. Stille og roligt. Et utroligt charmerende hus hvor der er badekabiner / toiletterog et enkelt bad med kar.Stedet er gammelt og er selvfølgelig slidt, men der er rent. Køkken mulighed med komfurog køleskab, med lille fryser måske var der også en mikroovn. Vi kan absolut anbefale dette sted. Hvis ikke det lå så langt fra Danmark ville vi komme oftere.

From the manager: Kare Anne og KIm Tak so müke. Without Google translate so I presume plenty of faults. Hope to see you again. Love, Jos and Ineke

Disliked: het boos reageren op de aanval van de eigen hond. Ik snap de instante ongerustheid en schrik maar zou het daarna ook oplossen.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: From the beginning, the communication was great. Jos even took the time to alert us to a big rally race happening the weekend we were there. The campsites are nice and big, and next to a stream. There's a big old building used as a shower/toilet house, and even a communal fridge. Our dog was welcomed warmly. And Jos and his wife gave us great advice on good hikes in the area. We'll likely be back again.

Local attractions

The Alsace Wine Route is a popular day trip in this green and peaceful region, with tours available about 40 minutes' drive away in La Forge. By car, bike or motorbike, take a trip around the spectacular Route des Crètes, the viewsome 89-kilometre road from Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines to Cernay through the Ballon des Vosges Regional Nature Park. Its highest point is the famed Col du Grand Ballon at 1,343 metres, which the Tour de France has crossed several times: if you're up for tackling the col by pedal, start off from Saint Amarin just over an hour's drive away, for a ride upwards of 13.5 kilometres. Among the local spa towns are Plombieres-les-Bains, 20 minutes' drive away, and Luxeuil-les-Bains, within 30. Other local days out include wandering the restored fortified town of Belfort, or driving about an hour to the famed ski resort of Gerardmer and the neighbouring lakeside hikes and beach of Lac de Gérardmer, 50 minutes from the site.
