Camping de Vaubarlet

I was really disappointed with this campground.

It started as soon as I arrived, with the manager making a very inappropriate comment about the fact that I was traveling alone: “Oh, you’re alone… Well, that’s your right, isn’t it…” in a very condescending tone. What a warm welcome!
Then it just kept getting worse—they stuck me in a dismal “site” way out in the back of the campground, with no electricity even though I’d paid for it (well, there was a power outlet on the other side of the road, more than 20 meters away—great, thanks a lot!). Fortunately, I was able to switch to a better spot, and by the way, thanks to the youngest employee who handled it so accommodatingly—she’s the sole reason for the second star in my rating.
As for the rest, the campground is really nothing special—the setting is nice but nothing more, the facilities are decent, but for the price, it’s frankly overpriced. I don’t understand how this campground can be rated 4 stars. I just got back from Lac du Bourget, where I got much better amenities for almost half the price, in a much more idyllic setting, and without the manager’s mocking attitude.

In short, fellow campers, stay away! There are much better destinations nearby :)

We had a great stay at the campground during our trip along the Via Fluvia (cycling tour). It’s a very natural campground with beautiful views, well-equipped tents, and friendly, helpful staff. We’d love to go back (even though the climb the next morning on our bikes really made our legs ache).

A campground in a gorgeous setting surrounded by nature and right on a river. Very friendly staff and a cozy, family-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, our campsite had no shade, and the restrooms were a bit far away and sometimes crowded, though they were always clean. From the campground, you can set out on hikes or bike rides in various directions. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

We spent a week at the campground; the mobile home was nice. The managers are very friendly.

A wonderful campground! The sites are large and shaded; the place is quiet and well-maintained, with plenty of space. Kids can ride bikes on-site, and there are activities planned for them, including games and a pool. There are horses, a chicken coop, the river right next door, a small grocery store, and a restaurant near the pool. The setting is enchanting. The mobile homes are new and well-maintained. I really loved the place and would love to come back!! The staff is friendly, discreet, and efficient!

A very nice campground, we were made to feel very welcome, and had a wonderful stay! However, BEWARE: at the night market, we bought some olives (from the only olive vendor there) and were sick all night! Other campers were sick too! And the vendor wasn't very helpful! I recommend the campground but not the olive stand at the night market.
