5A Sous la Neuvevie, 2350, Saignelégier
Been here?
Peaceful forest camping near Saignelégier with unmarked, freely chosen pitches, each with its own fire pit and firewood for sale. Sanitary facilities are simple and can be crowded or not fully clean at busy times, with hot water sometimes unavailable. No electricity; a nearby road causes some noise. Very popular on weekends, so it can be completely full. Friendly, easygoing check-in with pay-in-the-morning system.

Actually a wonderful nature campsite under large Jura firs. It has become so popular that on beautiful weekends the idyllic atmosphere is gone because of overcrowding. The sanitary facilities also reach their limits then.Translating
Not really a campsite, more a pseudo-wilderness camp for weekend campers. Minimum distances are not observed and you can forget about peace and quiet. There are two toilets for perhaps 200 people. They should invest in modern sanitary facilities. The only investments in the past twenty years seem to have been the website and the little sun hats sold at reception.Translating
Unfortunately, it is showing its age. The sanitary facilities are not clean, with two toilets and two showers for everyone. On the first evening there was no hot water left for showering. The staff are very friendly. A beautiful pitch that needs a little care. The pitches are very nicely located in the forest.Translating
We can fully confirm the previous reviews. You arrive, slow down and feel at home. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, and you get talking to many nice people. This may be due to the similar mindset of the campsite's visitors. After planning to stay two nights, we added a third.Translating
Very nice campsite. Excellent value for money.Translating
Very beautiful, well-maintained campsite. Clean sanitary facilities. Every pitch has its own fire pit. Firewood can be bought. Small kiosk at reception. Very friendly German-speaking team. We would gladly come back!Translating
Nature-oriented campsite in the middle of the forest. Wonderful atmosphere around the campfire in the evening.Translating
Lovely family campsite with a very friendly welcome; you can have a fire. Sometimes a little noisy because of cars, but you feel at home.Translating
The campfire atmosphere is what makes this place special. Pleasantly quiet until Friday morning, then the city crowd arrives with vans, Defenders and expedition vehicles, and it becomes quiet again from Sunday afternoon. Many old fir trees provide shade, but there is no electricity and the sanitary facilities are fairly basic. No reservations: if you leave, you may not find a place when you return. Otherwise, everything is fantastic.Translating
Very nice campsite, simple and uncomplicated! Hot water is not always available, but otherwise it is great. Every pitch has its own fire pit, making the evenings very cozy.Translating
A beautiful forest campsite under the trees, fully immersed in nature. Every pitch has a fire pit, which I think is fantastic! The sanitary facilities are good; there was toilet paper when I stayed. Firewood can be bought. Completely uncomplicated. I would gladly return.Translating
Lovely campsite in the middle of the forest. Excellent welcome. Having a fire is great, but there is a lot of smoke with all the campers. However, I find it rather expensive since there is no electricity: around 50 francs per night for two adults and two children. Firewood costs extra. If you are in a van, there are many other free places.Translating
Nature campsite with all amenities and a friendly welcome.Translating
Pros: free pitches in nature and multiple fire pits for logs. Cons: dampness, campers packed close together and pervasive smoke. Mixed: lots of Swiss Germans.Translating
Magnificent campsite, simple and surrounded by forest. Excellent welcome. Ideal for children. The pitches are not marked out; you settle in using common sense. It is lovely to be able to light a fire at your own pitch, but the downside is that the area quickly fills with smoke. The bathrooms are clean but perhaps insufficient in number. A surreal experience: you hear almost only Swiss German being spoken.Translating
Beautiful place in the middle of trees and nature. You might wake up with cows in front of your window ;). Always open to enter (you just lift the barrier) and pay in the morning (10.30-11.30am). Fire places allowed. No electricity. Bathrooms and shower ok. Might be muddy, be careful where you park if you want to get out the next day.
Beautiful campsite in nature, free choice of pitch and your own fire pit. Clean sanitary facilities. Uncomplicated check-in.Translating
