Huttopia Foret des Vosges – An Honest Family Review 2025
Huttopia Foret des Vosges
For a long time, I thought relaxation and family holidays just didn’t mix. Between the packing, planning, and constant activity, I’d usually come home more tired than when I left.
That was until we found a style of holiday that really works for us – one that combines nature, family adventure, and space to unwind. Our recent stay at Huttopia Forêt des Vosges in France ticked every box and genuinely exceeded our expectations.
A Cosy Cabin in the Woods at Huttopia Foret des Vosges
We stayed in a beautiful log cabin at Huttopia Forêt des Vosges, right in the heart of the holiday park and surrounded by woodland bursting with autumn colour. The cabin slept six comfortably, with two doubles and two singles – perfect for our family. Inside, it had a log burner, a cosy living room, and everything you could need to cook (including an outdoor Plancha grill we couldn’t resist using, even on a chilly October evening!).
While we love being active on holiday, part of getting away is slowing down. Having such a comfortable base made that easy. Between swimming, biking and family activities, we spent a blissful afternoon drawing, playing board games and simply reconnecting – the kind of slow, happy time that holidays are really about.
Family Fun for Every Age
If you’re looking for a holiday packed with activities for all ages, Huttopia Forêt des Vosges is the place. There’s both an outdoor pool and a covered heated pool, making it great year-round. (We’re that slightly mad family who braved the outdoor pool in mid-October, and loved it!)
During school holidays and weekends, Huttopia’s “Little Trappers” programme runs a brilliant mix of nature-based family activities. We tried ziplining, soap-making and raft-building, all included in the price of our stay. If the weather had been kinder, we’d have definitely been out paddleboarding on the lake too!
Our Trip Highlights of Huttopia Foret des Vosges
- E-Bikes
We love exploring, but I’ll admit I’m not fit enough to tackle mountain tracks on a regular bike! The E-bikes available to hire on-site were a total game-changer. With a quick switch to “turbo,” it felt like being gently carried uphill – such a fun way to explore the local area. There’s a great range of sizes and even trailers for families with younger kids. - Forest Spa
Yes, you read that right – a forest spa! Guests can book a private slot, and sitting in a hot tub under the trees overlooking the lake was pure bliss. It was the perfect way to end an adventure-filled day.
Getting to Huttopia Foret des Vosges
We flew from Manchester to Basel – a quick, affordable flight for less than £50 return. Basel airport is right on the border of France, Switzerland and Germany, which is pretty fascinating (you literally choose which country to exit into!).
We picked up our hire car on the French (Mulhouse) side, as we were staying within France, and the drive to Huttopia Forêt des Vosges took about 1 hour 45 minutes. We broke up the journey with a stop in Colmar, a picture-perfect town that looks like something out of a fairy tale – absolutely worth visiting en route.
Finding the right Huttopia Holiday for you
Huttopia has seven “Village” sites across France, each designed with families in mind: think outdoor pools, forest spas, and a full programme of nature-inspired activities.
Beyond that, there are Huttopia campsites all over Europe – some by the sea, others tucked away in the countryside – but all with the same ethos: embracing nature without sacrificing comfort.
Huttopia Forêt des Vosges – Overall
For families who love the outdoors but still want some comforts, Huttopia Forêt des Vosges hits the spot. From e-bikes and forest spas to cosy cabins and campfire cooking, it’s adventure and relaxation rolled into one. We left already planning which Huttopia site we’ll visit next – and that’s always the sign of a great holiday.

How many people get to say they’ve slept on a frozen lake under the northern lights?! 😮✨
These little cabins are very basic, maybe not ideal for anyone who wants luxury - but - they are on skis 😮 and each evening the owner drags you onto a frozen lake with his snow mobile. No light pollution, no noise, just pure peace (aside from the sound of occasional cracking ice, which is apparently normal 😅😆)
These cabins are with @lakeinarimobilecabins - it was a few years ago that we went. I think they get booked up quite far in advance now - but message the fella, it’s naturally cheaper to book direct 🤍

This is one of the best Eurocamps we’ve been to, particularly for families who love a waterpark! There are so many slides, splash areas and pools to spend the day exploring. On top of that you’re right by a beach, close to the gorgeous city of Venice and there’s even a fun fair!
If you want more information on this camp comment GUIDE and ill send you our Union lido review and guide 💛
This was a PR trip from 2025 but this post and guide were made independently as it’s one of our favourite camps ✨
