La Roche d’Ully

Four-star campsite in the Jura mountain chain

Campsite La Roche d’Ully is a four-star campsite in the east of France. It is located in the mountains of the Jura, at the edge of the historic town of Ornans, also called the small Venice of Comté. Here, the view on the surrounding hills is impressive, while the area is perfect for making long walks. The natural height differences add an extra flavour of adventure to the region. Also called the Mecca of mountain biking, the ‘Vallée de la Loue’ is situated in the Jura massif. La Roche d’Ully is an ecological campsite and forms part of the Kids Campings organisation, a selection of campsites that specifically caters to children.

Four-star campsite La Roche d’Ully is active in the preservation of the environment. It tries to limit the campsite’s impact on its natural surroundings to a maximum. The French bird protection association (LPO), has officially recognised the campsite as a birds’ reserve. By the campsite’s reception, you find a vegetable garden. Here, guests are informed about which plants are edible. Everything in this garden is planted biologically without the use of chemicals.

The campsite has a restaurant where in the high season you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. The reception rents out rackets for ping pong or badminton, a bow and arrow, a fishing rod, a large Mikado game, or mountain bikes. Next to the reception, there is a small shop where you can get some basic necessities. And there is an open-air sports field at the campsite!
