  • River Saône campsite five minutes’ drive from Saint-Jean-de-Losne
  • Auxonne 20 minutes’ drive and Dijon 45 minutes
  • Fishing on the river; kids’ entertainment; restaurant and snack bar
Peace, quiet and family time is what it’s all about at Camping Les Herlequins, a motorhome and tent site on the banks of Burgundy’s River Saône. Set in around 90 acres of greenery five minutes’ drive from the centre of Saint-Jean-de-Losne, the grass pitches are all partially shaded and some sit directly on the river banks. The pretty setting and well-kept, heated facilities will please all comers, as will the on-site restaurant serving delicious local cuisine made with quality local produce. There’s a relaxed vibe to the licensed bar – open from breakfast to supper for snacks and drinks – and if you’re after organised entertainment, you can join singing sessions, cooking lessons and games or crafts with the kids. Lively musical evenings often take place on the site too. Happily for the kids, they can also have a run about on the slides and swings, challenge mum and dad to games of pétanque or score goals on the mini-football field. Adults may prefer fishing on the Saône, and if you fancy an epic trip along the river banks, hire electric bikes (easy to use, well-maintained and insured) from the site and get pedalling.

On-site caravan (four person)

Liked Simpele camping. Mooie locatie.

Disliked Hygiëne. Plas geur in voortent, veel spinnen in de caravan, dus weinig schoongehouden/ gecheckt. Hygiëne douche gebouw.
Het ontbijt is te simpel. Stokbrood met jam en boter voor €6,- per persoon. Er was weinig aandacht voor goede voeding.

Liked I absolutely loved staying in Camping Les Herlesquin I loved the everything the place was a vibe and was buzzing with activity but it was also peaceful at the same time. I loved the trees

Disliked I am overall satisfied with the experience and my stay. Staff were friendly and kind to me even if my French was limited. I think that for the overall experience Camping Les Herlesquins should charge more. It is good value for money but the experience and environment that you are providing is valuable.

Liked The location of the campsite is right next to the river and well located for the small town. The restaurant was really good value, with great quality food and attentive service. You can also order fresh baguettes and croissants for the following morning.
The people who run the site and serve in the restaurant are very friendly and we also hired a small boat from them for a meander along the river.
A great mix of nationalities on the site and we were also there for an 80s music night, which was an added bonus.
Many thanks to our hosts for putting up with my limited grasp of the French language, and thank you for meeting me halfway 😊.

Local attractions

Fishing folk, gather round, for this site offers direct access to a small Saône river beach and its diverse fishing, ranging from perch to carp. If you’d rather float down the river than fish in it, hire the site’s own houseboat from reception and chug along the tree-lined waterway. There are also several long-distance hikes passing along the riverbanks to follow on foot or by bike, including the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in western Spain. If you’re looking to explore by car, make a stop at historic Auxonne (20 minutes’ drive) to see the landmark fort and well-preserved arsenal built by Vauban in 1690, and then have a wander around cobbled streets lined with ochre-coloured half-timbered houses. Gorgeous Dijon (45 minutes) is a splendid spot for a day trip, where you can marvel at medieval and Renaissance art in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, then pick up gourmet cheeses and charcuterie from Les Halles Market to eat in the Jardin Botanique de l’Arquebuse.
