Josian et Céline farm campsite, Entre-Deux: home-cooked Creole meals and 5 intimate pitches
A campsite with the Accueil Paysan (farm hospitality) label, run by Josian and Céline in the hills of Entre-Deux: 5 pitches under coconut palms and bois noir trees, Creole meals cooked on site at their table paysanne (farmhouse table) and breakfast on request. The very opposite of a big commercial campsite.
Le Serré, Entre-DeuxlocationFrom €10 / personrate5 (30 tents max)pitchesHome-cooked Creole mealsspecial
The campsite run by Josian and Céline, on Chemin Bastian in the Le Serré district of Entre-Deux, has everything you could hope for in Reunion Island: a genuine family setting, Creole farmhouse meals served on the veranda, a “Welcome to Céline and Josian's” sign at the entrance, and the Accueil Paysan label, a guarantee of genuine farm hospitality.
Here's what you need to know before booking: rates, getting there from the N1 via the Entre-Deux bridge, facilities, the meals and the hikes that start from the village, plus other outings nearby (Bras Long, the Dimitile trail, a hike to the volcano). If you'd rather not sleep in a tent, a campervan lets you combine a night here with stops elsewhere on the island.

The experience
A night under the coconut palms and bois noir trees
Arriving at Céline and Josian's.The hand-painted “Welcome to Céline and Josian's” sign with the Accueil Paysan logo sets the tone from the moment you arrive. The farm sits deep in the Creole countryside, with its main house, outbuildings, fruit and vegetable garden, and the veranda where meals are served. Everything tells you this is a family welcome, not a chain.
The pitches. The campsite has 5 pitches (30 tents maximum) on a grassy area shaded by coconut palms and bois noir trees. Each pitch has a wooden picnic table, a canvas awning and a fire pit for cooking or barbecues. The pitches are spaced far enough apart for privacy.
The farmhouse table. This is the main draw. Josian and Céline cook hearty farmhouse mealsserved on the traditional veranda: Creole caris (curries), rougails, chayote gratin, rice and beans, all made with vegetables from their own garden. Breakfast is also available on request. It turns a simple night of camping into a real taste of Entre-Deux's Creole culture.
Entre-Deux, an unusual village.Nestled between the two rivers that give it its name (“between the two”), Entre-Deux is one of the island's most charming villages, officially listed as a Village Créole. Its colourful houses, flower-filled gardens and well-preserved atmosphere make it a special stop. The campsite is 3km from the centre, walkable if you like walking or a few minutes by car.

How much does a night cost?
€10 per person per night, according to the site's camping directory. That includes your pitch, the toilets, hot water and the shared areas. Meals and breakfast are extra, to be booked in advance.
What food is served?
Traditional Creole meals cooked on site with produce from Josian and Céline's garden (45 varieties of fruit and vegetables grown on site, according to neighbouring campsite Entre 2 Songes): caris, rougails, chayote gratin, rice and beans, served on the traditional veranda. Book 24 hours ahead.
How big is the campsite?
5 separate pitches, for a maximum of 30 tents. It stays small and intimate, which is one of the reasons to come here rather than, say, the 3-star campsite at L'Ermitage-Lagon.
What does the "Accueil Paysan" label mean?
Accueil Paysan is a French network of farmers who welcome guests and are committed to sustainable farming, rural tourism and sharing their way of life. It guarantees that the place is run by a farming family and that your stay is genuinely rooted in local farm life.
How do you get to the campsite from Entre-Deux?
From the N1, take the Entre-Deux exit. After crossing the Entre-Deux bridge, drive 1km into the village and turn right onto Chemin Bastian. Follow the road: the campsite is marked by the "Accueil Paysan" sign. Allow 15 minutes by car from Saint-Pierre.
What else is there to do nearby?
Entre-Deux is an ideal base for hikes in the south: Bras Long by mountain bike, Bayonne and Zèbres on foot, Bassin Sassa. It is also halfway between the west coast and the volcano: a hike to Piton de la Fournaise 1 hour away, canyoning at the Langevin river 30 minutes away, or a helicopter flight for the best view of the south.
When is the best time to camp at Entre-Deux?
The southern winter (May to October) brings the most stable conditions: often clear skies and cool but pleasant temperatures. The campsite is open all year. High season coincides with the school holidays, but with only 5 pitches it never gets crowded.
