  • Scenic and spacious site on the banks of the Saône, 5km from the A6
  • Among trees and greenery with free leisure centre access next door
  • Waterside bar-restaurant, playground, fishing, shop and summer events
Swans, you say? And perhaps also a pretty pontoon for plonking yourself down on for evening idling, feet in the water as the sun sets? Sure you do. And so, book a stay at Burgundy's Camping La Clé de Saône, where you can have the lot, before retreating a mere few steps to a roomy waterside pitch. You may of course opt not to have a waterside pitch when here, and pas de probleme if so: guests can pick from shaded delimited pitches instead, or ones nearer to the amenities. (If you do crave pitching up by the river, however, let the site know when you book so they can accommodate you if there's room.) And that river? It's the Sâone, flowing past Camping La Clé de Saône on its 473-kilometre run from the Vosges mountains all the way along to Lyon. You can idle hours away on the site grounds while eyeing up swans from the pontoon; riverside lushness will also be easily yours when you amble to the bar-restaurant for meals, drinks and ice cream right at the water's edge. If that's not quite enough water for you, a lake is next to the site too, with free access to its facilities for Camping La Clé de Saône guests – as well as to the leisure centre next door. You'll also be within nifty reach of easy exploring: Camping La Clé de Saône's setting a few minutes' drive from the Saône-et-Loire village of Crêches-sur-Saône is five kilometres from the Mâcon exit of the A6, at the foot of the Beaujolais and Mâconnais mountains and close to the Burgundy vineyards. Other facilities include a playground, wifi, tourist info at reception, a food shop, and summer events such as pétanque competitions and themed evenings.

Loggia 2 bedroom cabin

Liked: Easy one night stop over on our way to and from Italy. Lovely lake and slides located next to site.

Disliked: Tiny onsite shop so don't rely on buying supplies from there! Gates don't open until 7 am which is later than some sites for those needing to get an early start. Varying levels of customer service given between our two stays.

From the manager: Hello
I don't appreciate you writing lies on the network and I'd like to set the record straight.
I imagine that you are the people who wanted to enter the campsite after the gates had closed, even though you knew they closed at 11pm.
After waking us up, we came and opened the gate for you manually because you refused to go outside. However, we asked you to park on the 1st pitch so as not to wake the other campers.
That's when you yelled at us, telling us it was too far for you and your 6-year-old daughter! You called us "f***ing French people" and your wife spat at my husband!

Local attractions

The team thoroughly recommends trips around the famed Burgundy vineyards, as well as the many hiking and cycling routes in the region such as the seven-kilometre path via the local village and the Circuit VTT mountain bike trail twice crossing the Saône. Another heady trek is around the ancient landmark of the Rock of Solutré (20 minutes' drive away), a limestone escarpment just outside Mâcon that's been home to humans for over 55,000 years. It's surrounded by vineyards these days (but of course), so take some time to potter around those too – the vino you seek for souvenirs is the AOC Pouilly-Fuissé. There's a wine park around these parts as well, the Hameau Duboeuf at Romaneche-Thorins: get there within 20 minutes' drive for exhibitions, events and eight themed gardens. For restless offspring, the zoo, rides and waterslides of Touroparc are 10 minutes away.
