Camping holidays in Jura 

The Jura, rich in woodland, lakes and cascading waterfalls is the little known jewel of France. Spectacular views, magical forests and majestic mountains make the south of the region a paradise for skiing, mountain biking, walking and hiking. In the north, discover a more gentle terrain, with rolling meadows and delightful vineyards. Wherever you choose to stay, camping in the Jura is the best way to experience the natural splendour that is on show in the region.

All of our campsites in Jura are family friendly, and the unspoilt natural surroundings make it a delightful place to visit for both adults and children alike.

Cascades du Hérrisson

Cascades du Hérrisson is a spectacular series of thundering waterfalls which drop almost 2000 feet in less than two miles. Follow the marked path through the forest for an outstanding view – this is sure to be a highlight of any Jura camping holiday.

Besançon is a Roman town with a citadel at the centre offering fabulous views over the town as well as three interesting museums. The town is also well known for watch and clock making.

The salt-water springs in this charming village have been used for medicinal purposes since Roman times. For an interesting lesson about the salt industry pay a visit to the salt works for a guided tour, 250m underground.

Clairvaux-les-Lacs

This small market town, set between two lakes, is the main resort of the region. The scenic Grand Lac is the focus for many watersports throughout the summer months, and is surrounded by a lovely beach – an excellent place for a day trip while camping in Jura.
