CAMPING A LA FERME – Mini Camping – motocamping – overlanding camping

Enjoy the peace and quiet
Find your own spot at our camping

A large flat area, surrounded by water and forest

Our 5 hectares property is a NATURA2000 area. We do not offer electricity, so you can find your perfect spot somewhere on the land.

The river Dolore and a sidetrack are running through the land

The soft sound of the flowing streams is relaxing and on hot days it offers a cooling down. Do you like a spot near the water or more between trees?

Driving up the land with your car requires a real 4WD car. We usually have 1 or 2 spots for regular camper vans. Tents can come with a regular car, bike or motorbike.
