1. Domaine Ô des Bluches, La Bresse
This is the most practical choice for visitors who want to stay inside La Bresse. The official site places the campsite at 5 route des Planches, 4 km from the town centre and 5 km from La Bresse-Hohneck. There is no pool on site; the campsite points guests towards the municipal pool. Pets are accepted on camping pitches under the site’s conditions.
The 2026 pricing calendar covers stays until 8 November. Check current pitches, rentals and dates directly with Domaine Ô des Bluches. Do not use Lac des Corbeaux as a swimming alternative: bathing there is prohibited.
2. Camping de Belle Hutte, La Bresse
Belle Hutte combines a mountain location with the strongest pool offer in this selection. Its official FAQ places it 9 km from the centre of La Bresse, at 1 bis Vouille de Belle-Hutte. The outdoor aquatic area is heated from roughly mid-June to mid-September and includes a main pool, a paddling pool and three slides. It is not supervised, so children remain under their carers’ responsibility.
Camping pitches are announced from 14 May to 13 September 2026. Pets are accepted on pitches if vaccinated, documented and kept on a lead; rental rules vary. See Camping de Belle Hutte’s official 2026 information.
3. Camping du Mettey, Vagney
Camping du Mettey suits families seeking a smaller, nature-focused base. Its contact page describes the site as about 20 minutes from La Bresse and Gérardmer. The main attraction is a natural swimming pool with a shallow children’s basin and a deeper main basin, open in July and August.
The current official site announces an operating period from 1 April to 30 September, but does not label those dates explicitly as 2026, so confirm before booking. Pets are not accepted in the eco-lodges; pitch rules should also be checked directly. See Camping du Mettey’s official site and its natural pool information.
4. Domaine de Longemer, Xonrupt-Longemer
Domaine de Longemer is useful when lake access matters more than staying in La Bresse itself. The campsite is at 121 route de la Plage, around 50 to 100 metres from Lac de Longemer, and advertises an on-site pool in summer. The campsite is open all year, which also makes it an option outside the main summer season.
Pets are accepted on pitches under specific conditions. Swimming in Longemer is tolerated in designated areas but is not supervised, so check local signs and conditions on arrival. Compare pitches and rentals on the official Domaine de Longemer website.
5. Camping du Lac de la Moselotte, Saulxures-sur-Moselotte
For a classic family beach day, this is the clearest option. The four-star campsite and leisure base at 336 route des Amias sit beside Lac de la Moselotte. The site offers a sandy beach, water activities and supervised swimming from 27 June to 30 August 2026, 9:30 am to 7 pm.
Dogs are allowed on the campsite when kept on a lead, but they are not allowed inside the beach and leisure-base enclosure during the supervised summer period. The campsite is open all year. Check accommodation, pitches and activity access on the official Lac de la Moselotte website.
6. Camping du Lac, Xonrupt-Longemer
Camping du Lac is a straightforward alternative for families who want to be directly beside Longemer without the services of a larger resort-style site. Its official 2026 calendar runs from 27 April to 4 October, at 3400 route du Lac. The beach is beside the campsite; no pool is advertised.
Pets are listed in the official 2026 tariff at €1 per night, subject to the campsite’s rules. As elsewhere at Longemer, lake swimming is not supervised. Check availability and current conditions on the Camping du Lac official website.
