Hi

 

Travelling down to the Swiss alps on boxing day and struggling to find campsites open in the winter. 

Anyone have any suggestions of sites that are open all year and on the way? 

Ideally trying to find somewhere near Metz

Thanks

I doubt if there are any sites open around Metz, but if you change your route and go instead via Troyes then Camping les Hauts Frenes is usually open. It’s a short way south west of Troyes at Eaux Puiseaux - about 250 miles from Calais. It’s listed by ACSI in their Great Little Campsites section and has its own website.

The Alan Rogers website - owned by this Club - has a list  of 120 other French sites open all year, but misses that one near Troyes.

Memo to the management. The opening query was hidden for eleven days before any of us could reply. Can that not be streamlined?

Valid point EuroT.

I do hope the poster is informed that there will be a delay so that they can at least check regularly for answers. Some will notice the "Follow" button, some won't.

fwiw …
Have found on our winter through France journeys that an ACSI Camping Card website campsite search filtering to ‘open all year’ etc usually produces lots of options way beyond the ARodgers & CMHC etc limited offerings. 
Strongly suggest direct phone contact prior as listings change or alter or just close up some years. 
Found the key feature is sites with live in bungalows usually stay open. Lots to go at but not easy to track down.
