Camping in the Jura – Lakes, Waterfalls and Rolling Mountain Landscapes
The Jura, located in eastern France between Burgundy and the Swiss border, is known for its green mountains, clear lakes and spectacular waterfalls. Less crowded than the Alps, the region offers equally impressive scenery in a more peaceful setting. A camping holiday in the Jura is centred around outdoor living, fresh air and varied landscapes.
The area features forested hills, limestone plateaus and scenic valleys. Natural highlights include Lac de Chalain and the Hérisson waterfalls, where walking trails lead past turquoise pools and dramatic rock formations. The Parc naturel régional du Haut-Jura offers excellent opportunities for hiking, cycling and exploring traditional mountain villages.
The Jura is also renowned for its gastronomy. Local Comté cheese and distinctive Jura wines reflect the region’s culinary heritage. Small towns such as Arbois and Lons-le-Saunier provide cultural interest without the crowds.
There are only a limited number of campsites with rental accommodation and touring pitches in the Jura, making it a perfect destination for travellers seeking tranquillity and authentic nature. Ideal for active families and outdoor enthusiasts.
