Camping Chante-Merle

We often made a stop here in winter during our journey and were served at the small restaurant. Now we need to find an alternative.

We were only here for one night. In the rain. Didn’t see much. The campsite looked well-kept. Sanitary facilities were tidy but musty. Small bar, cozy with snack food. The highway could be heard through the rain.

We were received very warmly. Our two dogs were also welcome. It was late and wet, but we felt very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The restaurant offered simple food, which was okay, a small clean pool, very nice playground, a stream with ducks. We didn't see much more due to the weather. The highway was quite loud because of the moisture. A nice place for a stopover.

We happened upon this site more or less by chance in mid-February. Friendly reception. We were assigned a generously sized plot at the entrance where we could still enjoy the sun for a few hours. Other tourist pitches are located at the end of the elongated site. There is a small outdoor pool, a large pétanque court, a children's playground, as well as an enclosure with goats, a pony, and a duck pond. The highway is audible - but it didn't disturb us during the day and certainly not at night. Of the two sanitary buildings, the one at the main building was open and heated - a decent, clean standard. Gradually, a few more overnight travelers arrived - a spontaneous, pleasant conversation circle formed. The campsite restaurant opened at 7 PM and offered a good selection of dishes - we opted for pizzas and were very satisfied. It was probably a sunny day - but after sunset the temperatures quickly dropped near zero. So we felt really comfortable at the table next to the pleasantly warm oven. Conclusion: A simple, small campground without any fuss. We like these small, family-run campsites in France - everything was just right for the overnight stop.
