La Sténiole, Campground in Granges-sur-Vologne, France.
La Sténiole is a campground with 125 pitches set in natural surroundings offering direct access to a pond, river, mountains, and forest. The site features electrical connections, covered swimming pools, and facilities including a small shop and restaurant.
The campground emerged in the postwar period as leisure tourism developed in the Vosges region. Its establishment was part of a broader effort to open natural areas to visitors.
The site reflects local craftsmanship traditions and connects visitors to nearby textile workshops and cultural sites. The grounds show how the community values both outdoor recreation and connection to regional heritage.
The site opens from April through October and serves year-round as a base for nature activities. Most guests arrive with or without mobile homes and take advantage of the outdoor opportunities in the immediate surroundings.
Visitors can arrange guided horseback rides through the Vosges forests, an experience many do not expect when camping. This activity combines the comfort of a campground with real exploration in the surrounding wilderness.
