Where can a family find space to breathe, a pond to splash in and a bouncy castle to conquer, all in one place? Camping La Fougeraie is a strong answer. This 3-star campsite covers 9 hectares in the Morvan Regional Nature Park, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, at about 417 m altitude and slightly away from the village of Saint Léger de Fougeret. From Paris it is roughly 2 hours 50 by car.
What will the children do all day? Swim and fish at the pond, which has its own beach, splash in the heated outdoor pool and paddling pool, bounce on the trampolines and the bouncy castle, race pedal karts made for all ages, and tackle the giant Accro-Game or a round of Laser Nature. Parents are not forgotten: there is a badminton and volleyball field, signposted family walks start right at the campsite, and anglers can try the no-kill carp pond.
Where do you sleep and eat? Choose a mobile home, a chalet, a Lodge, Safari or Robinson tent or a Cocon cabane, or bring your own tent, caravan or camper to a pitch. The restaurant seats 30 indoors and 50 on a covered, heated terrace with a view over the Morvan, and homemade pizzas can be taken away. A mini grocery with regional products and a bar complete the picture.
Who will love it? Families with young and school-age children, couples after peace and quiet, and anglers. The main facilities are accessible to guests with reduced mobility, dogs are welcome, and our specialists will gladly help you choose between a pitch and a rental. Ready for the Morvan?

Tip from our team
Planning dinner? Reserve your restaurant table early, because booking is required and the kitchen takes an evening off on Thursdays. Pizza lovers, listen up: order the homemade take-away pizzas and enjoy them at your accommodation after a day outdoors. Swim with the sun: the pool welcomes guests from mid-June to mid-September between 10:00 and 18:00, weather permitting. Pack proper swimsuits for the pool; boxer shorts and bermudas stay in the suitcase, and a quick shower comes before every dip. Order your bread the day before, before 18:00, and breakfast is sorted without a morning dash. Anglers, bring your enthusiasm: the no-kill carp pond holds more than 2 tonnes of fish, and fishing gear can be borrowed. Late afternoon is board-game time: grab a game and settle on the covered terrace before the restaurant opens at 18:00. Ask for a map and follow the signposted family walks that start right at the campsite; the Morvan rewards slow explorers. Château-Chinon, only 11 km away, is your nearest town when you feel like a change of scenery. Bring bikes, or rent a mountain bike on site, and explore the Morvan countryside at your own pace.

Top-notch campsite, great discovery“10 perfect days in chalet no. 1 Human-sized campsite with a top-notch team. A great welcome from the owners and employees, top-notch services, pool, activities offered, and a super pleasant and quiet site. Even our teens didn't get bored....We will return without hesitation”

A nice quiet campsite“This campsite is quietly located. It is very neat, clean. The pool is mainly for cooling off. You can't do a lap. There is limited 4G/5G range and Wifi range is limited. Sometimes annoying if you want to plan a trip and consult the internet. Very friendly welcome. Due to the simple organization and cleanliness, the campsite creates a certain tranquility despite the many children playing. For children (<12 years) there is plenty of play and safe environment to play: go-carts, bouncy castle, trampoline park, swimming pool, ... Less suitable for teenagers. The pre-erected tents are very comfortably well furnished.”

“Hello everyone. This campsite is very nice with the outdoor pool. The mobile home we were in had a beautiful view of the pond and its wonderful fir trees. The campsite managers are great. The restaurant is great and the fries are delicious.”
