I have given this site four stars, despite the fact that when we arrived the ground was sodden from the torrential rains and our motorhome only just made it on to its 'hardstanding' pitch - something of a misnomer as the hard surface had considerable grass growing on it. The welcome at the office was very warm, the little shop useful, and the takeaway/eat in restaurant very satisfactory, especially with its view of the swollen river rushing past the window! The shower block/washing facility was excellent, and it looked as if the swimming pool/play area would be very popular in normal weather. Only a few brave dads and small children went near that during our stay!
The site is quite remote and would seem not to have many places of interest within a short distance. Bescancon is about a 40 minute drive, and the nearest large supermarket at Beaume les Dames is about 25 minutes away. But for a pleasant getaway in normal summer weather, I think it would be fine.
So many campsites we used during our trip this June were badly affected by the awful rains experienced in France, but they are struggling on bravely and I really hope the sites will have dried out before their busy season starts with the school holidays.
