Summary created out of 486 reviews
The park is appreciated for its friendly and helpful staff, who often assist guests in multiple languages. The sanitary facilities are modern, clean and well-maintained, though they can feel undersized during busy periods. The location is ideal for visiting Lyon or as a stopover while travelling, with a bus stop at the entrance and easy access from the motorway. Guests praise the spacious, shaded pitches and the peaceful atmosphere, although some note that evening lighting is sparse and certain areas can become muddy after rain.

I stopped there for one night while passing through. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restrooms were very clean, and the food was excellent. The campground is ideally located near the highway. I'll stay there again on my way back.

We’ve stayed at this campground twice. During our first stay—one night while passing through on our way to Spain—everything was fine. We got exactly what we had booked. The man at the front desk was friendly, and while the campsite wasn’t anything special, it was perfectly adequate for one night.
Unfortunately, our second stay was anything … but satisfactory. We had been explicitly assigned and confirmed a specific campsite in advance via email (the dimensions were specified, and I was then sent a payment link)
Upon our arrival, they suddenly claimed to know nothing about it. Instead, we were told that someone else had paid for a large parking spot and would therefore be getting it. Our written confirmation was simply ignored, and our objections were dismissed.
It was particularly disappointing that another employee—who didn’t even introduce himself—then intervened and took the same stance. There was no apology or attempt to find a reasonable solution. Instead, we were indirectly made to feel as though we were simply making up the confirmed reservation. Fortunately, we had saved the relevant emails and were able to back up our claim.
In our opinion, this is no way to treat guests. Mistakes can happen, but then you should at least own up to them and treat your guests with respect.
We did have a spot, but that’s not the point. We barely fit in there.
In any case, one thing is certain for us: That was our last stay at this campground. It’s a real shame, because after our first visit, we actually had no reason to complain.this is a translation, click here for the original
Wir waren zweimal auf diesem Platz zu Gast. Beim ersten Aufenthalt für eine Nacht, auf der Durchreise nach Spanien, war alles in Ordnung. Wir haben genau das bekommen, was wir gebucht hatten. Der Herr an der Rezeption war freundlich und der Stellplatz war zwar nichts Besonderes, für eine Übernachtung aber völlig ausreichend.
Leider verlief unser zweiter Aufenthalt alles andere als zufriedenstellend. Uns war im Vorfeld per E-Mail ein bestimmter Stellplatz ausdrücklich zugewiesen und bestätigt worden ( hatte die Maße angegeben und dann wurde mir daraufhin ein Bezahllink geschickt)
Bei unserer Ankunft wollte man davon plötzlich nichts mehr wissen. Stattdessen wurde uns erklärt, dass jemand anderes einen großen Stellplatz bezahlt habe und diesen deshalb auch bekommen würde. Unsere schriftliche Bestätigung wurde schlichtweg ignoriert und unsere Einwände wurden abgetan.
Besonders enttäuschend war, dass sich anschließend noch ein weiterer Mitarbeiter, der sich nicht einmal vorgestellt hat, einmischte und dieselbe Haltung vertrat. Eine Entschuldigung oder ein Versuch, eine vernünftige Lösung zu finden, blieb aus. Stattdessen wurde uns indirekt das Gefühl vermittelt, als würden wir uns die bestätigte Reservierung nur ausdenken. Zum Glück hatten wir die entsprechenden E-Mails gespeichert und konnten unsere Aussage belegen.
So geht man unserer Meinung nach nicht mit Gästen um. Fehler können passieren, aber dann sollte man zumindest dazu stehen und seinen Gästen mit Respekt begegnen.
Wir haben einen Platz gehabt aber darum geht’s nicht. Haben gerade so drauf gepasst.
Für uns steht jedenfalls fest: Das war unser letzter Aufenthalt auf diesem Platz. Sehr schade, denn nach dem ersten Besuch hatten wir eigentlich keinen Grund zur Beanstandung. -

What a terrible campground—no hot water anywhere in the restroom building.
And what a horrible guy behind the front desk.
He kept insisting that there was hot water.
When I told him he’d get a bad review, he got all worked up because I didn’t understand him. Well, I understood perfectly well.
Grabbed a baguette and got out of there.
Too bad, because the RV site was neat—especially if you’re just passing through.this is a translation, click here for the original
Wat een verschrikkelijke camping nergens warm water in het sanitair gebouw.
En wat een vreselijk ventje achter de receptie.
Hij bleef volhouden dat er wel warm water was.
Toen ik zei dat hij een slechte review kreeg ging hij over de zeik want ik begreep hem niet. Nou ik begreep het prima.
Stokbrood mee en weg wezen hier.
Jammer want de camperplaats was netjes en zeker voor als je op doorreis bent. -
