The campsite is located directly on the river. The pitches are generously sized and easily accessible. Cycle route 6 runs right past the campsite. Check-in and check-out were very quick and straightforward. A few more modern sanitary facilities would be desirable.

The Rhine-Rhône Canal runs directly alongside high cliffs here and opens into a narrow lock channel through a very narrow rock archway. A truly spectacular section of our cycling route!
