Paturage au Jura Neuchâtelois
Description
The pastures here in the Neuchâtel Jura are wild and dotted with tall fir trees and stone walls. Many cows and cattle graze here over the summer and their bell ringing can be heard from afar. Otherwise you will find complete silence and a completely clear starry sky. The land around it I would like to share with you.
Since my retirement I spend a lot of time here and renovate the building or just enjoy the nature. The property has no electricity and water and the toilet is outside the house. This we share. On the spacious meadow you can put your tent or bus wherever you like. I recommend to bring wedges. There is a fireplace and a big table behind the house. You are welcome to use them. A mountain restaurant is located about 500m at the end of the road. (Closed in winter). We are in the area of the "Fee Verte" (Absinthe), the Val-de-Travers with the Creux-du-Van, the recreational resort Buttes / La Robella or the via ferrata Noiraigue.

We stayed only for a night, but it was perfect. Peaceful, spacious, and in nature. Exactly what we were looking for.

The place was super nice and as described in the middle of nature. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short early due to a medical emergency, so we could only stay one night.

Special camp in the forest. The night sky almost without light pollution is stunning.
Enrico Z•September 2021•
The place is beautifully situated! In the middle of the forest, but still on a spacious clearing. Pure tranquility. We were surprised in the evening by a rain shower, but the atmosphere in the morning was tremendous. As described by Marcel, the infrastructure is simple - but it does not need more. Thank you Marcel for sharing this place with us!

Oliver B•August 2021•
In the evening the sun shines on the forest clearing and you enjoy the peace and nature. In the morning the sun shines between the treetops through to the camp. A fantastic location and atmosphere. Marcel is a very nice and uncomplicated host. We will be happy to come again.

Super nice place in a great region! I can only recommend! So quiet that a fox snuck past us in peace of mind while we just grilled. :-)
David A•July 2021•
The weekend has developed yes after a rainy week yet to the good and we could still take full advantage of Marcel's campsite. Great place to relax, enjoy nature and start a hike. Thanks for the hospitality.
Patricia B•July 2021•
It would have been a sensational place, but we had to look for another place to stay because the ground was not passable due to very heavy rainfall at that time. Except land damage, unfortunately, I could not leave anything else, for this I would like to apologize to Marcel. We will be back, no question, when it's drier again. Kind regards Patrik and Claudia.
Patrik R•July 2021•

A beautiful place, will be very happy to come back soon! Everything exactly as described. Only the starry sky is even more beautiful and the peace we maximally disturbed by the fox, which says good night to the rabbit. ⛺️🏡🌲✨ And: We have and with Marcel felt like home - very uncomplicated and cordial!

The site is located in a clearing, secluded and quiet for direct hiking in the Jura world (Jura pastures, rocky gorges). For excursions to the Chasseron, Creux du Van, etc. you have to move the camper.

Nice, simple, remote place in beautiful countryside with easy walks (and good restaurant in walking distance) - this morning with snow... (1000 MüM)

Pretty, cozy clearing in the Jura with basic facilities. Take enough water with you! There is no possibility to get any in the vicinity.
Katherine M•October 2020•
a simple place without much comfort, but in the middle of wonderful nature, very quiet, you are fully to yourself (because the host usually does not live there), beautiful starry sky, close to the Creux-du-Van, very nice contact with Marcel via the Nomady website :-)
Sue N•October 2020•
Idyllic setting, you'd think you were in Chartreuse or Scotland! :-) Marcel is very welcoming and it will be a pleasure to come back and sleep there!

The site is as described by Marcel, beautifully located in nature. He himself is very nice and has joined us with absinthe. We also met part of his family the next day. Really highly recommended, we (2 humans and 1 female dog) would come back anytime. The Jura is really beautiful and the time out has done very well.
