Porte des Vosges

Camping les Portes des Vosges – At the gateway to the Vosges mountain range, between forests and spa towns

There are campsites that know exactly who they cater to. Camping Les Portes des Vosges , in Bulgnéville in the Vosges Mountains , is one of them. Located at the entrance to the Vosges massif , on the edge of a still-pristine forest, this 3-star campsite in the Grand Est region welcomes both campers passing through on their holiday route and those who decide to stay and discover a region that is still too little known.

Located 2 km from exit 9 of the A31 motorway , it's the ideal stopover between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean — and the perfect starting point for exploring the spa towns of Vittel and Contrexéville , the Vosges lakes, the fir forests, and the hiking trails that lead directly from the campsite. A natural, peaceful, and clean setting in a corner of France that's well worth a longer stay than planned.

Accommodations designed for all ways of travelling

The campsite, situated on 3,5 hectares bordering the forest, welcomes tents, caravans, and motorhomes on spacious pitches ranging from 70 to 150 m², all stabilized and easily accessible—an important feature for long vehicle combinations. Pitches are available in shaded or sunny locations, with or without services. For travelers who prefer rental accommodations, the campsite offers 13 options : mobile homes, chalets, bungalows, and fully equipped tents, each with a kitchen and terrace. An electric vehicle charging station is also available—a modern touch in a natural setting.

A strategic location between Nancy, Dijon and the Vosges mountains

Bulgnéville occupies a unique geographical position in the southern Vosges : at the crossroads of the north-south axis of the A31 motorway and the roads leading to Alsace, Lorraine, and Burgundy. Nancy is 85 km away , Dijon 120 km , and Épinal 45 km . Locally, the spa towns of Vittel and Contrexéville are less than 10 km away, the Lacs de la Folie (Lakes of Madness) are 4 km away, and the Étang des Récollets (Récollets Pond) is 500 m away.

For campers coming from the north — Netherlands, Belgium, Germany — the Portes des Vosges campsite is one of the most popular stops on the road to the sun : easy access from the motorway, guaranteed peace and quiet, and a real region to discover if you decide to stay for a few days.

All the necessary comforts in a preserved natural setting

The campsite offers all the essentials with care: a snack bar so you don't have to drive back in the evening, free Wi-Fi throughout the grounds, free private parking , and meticulously maintained sanitary facilities—cleanliness is one of the qualities most frequently mentioned by campers. Pets are welcome. Reception is open until 22 pm, making evening arrivals easier for travelers on the A31 motorway.

The Vosges countryside within easy reach of your feet and handlebars

The campsite is a direct starting point for hiking and mountain biking , with marked trails leading directly from the site. In total, over 200 km of marked paths crisscross the surrounding area, winding through fir forests, meadows, and the valleys of the Vosges Mountains. The three nearby lakes —including Lac des Récollets, just 500 m away—offer opportunities for swimming, fishing, and leisurely walks along the water's edge.

For families, the Accrofolie treetop adventure park in Contrexéville , paintball in Vittel, and the Fort aux Énigmes (Fort of Riddles) in Mont-lès-Neufchâteau are popular excursions. The campsite's swimming pool , open from mid-May to mid-September, completes the on-site leisure options.

An ideal spa stop for seniors and motorhome owners

The thermal baths of Vittel and Contrexéville , less than 10 km away, make Camping Les Portes des Vosges a popular base for seniors on spa treatments or holidays . The flat terrain, large, stabilized pitches, and easy access from the motorway make it one of the most convenient spots in the Vosges for motorhome owners who prefer to avoid hilly or difficult-to-access sites. In the shoulder seasons , when the Vosges forest dons its autumn colors or bursts into spring, the campsite takes on a special character – peaceful, bright, and welcoming.

On the edge of a still unspoiled Vosges forest

The campsite is nestled on the edge of an unspoiled Vosges forest , in a natural area that has resisted urbanization despite its proximity to the motorway. The presence of an electric vehicle charging station demonstrates a commitment to future mobility solutions. Hiking and mountain biking trails starting from the campsite invite visitors to explore the region at a leisurely pace, on foot or by bike, respecting the landscapes and local wildlife.
