This holiday park in Taninges is praised for its exceptionally friendly staff and beautiful location amid the mountains. Guests appreciate the spacious, flat and often shaded pitches in a park-like setting with mature trees. The campsite offers tranquility and a relaxed atmosphere, with direct access to walks along the river and to the lake. The sanitary facilities are dated but consistently kept clean, and the affordable rates make it an excellent value for money for a stay in Haute-Savoie.

Lovely site. We visited in October and the autumn colours against the mountain views were stunning.
Staff were very friendly and while the manager spoke perfect English he was sweetly tolerant of my poor French.
The toilets and showers were old fashioned, but very clean. So many campsites just do a quick mop around, but this was genuinely … spotless with no cobwebs round the lights, or grime round the back of the cubicle doors. We had no issues with the water temperature, although it is worth giving it a couple of presses before getting in. However all this cleaning does mean the block is closed for an hour between 1030 and 1130. We didn't know this on the first day, so if I was going to offer any constructive criticism, I'd suggest telling people when they check-in so they can plan around it.
It is an easy walk into town, the river route is slightly shorter but the road a bit easier in the dark.
There were plenty of places to eat and drink in the town who were open out of season, so I'd absolutely recommend the campsite and the town for an autumn stay.
I should also add it was an absolute off-season bargain. -

A campground we’ll definitely be returning to! I stayed there for 6 nights with my two young sons (ages 1 and 3), and we had a wonderful time! There was a small playground that’s clearly visible from many spots on the grounds, a clean restroom building, and friendly staff :) Not a single day went by without seeing them working to keep the grounds … beautiful and tidy.
The campground is also very well-located for a wide variety of activities and beautiful views, and the village has everything you need. We’re very satisfied.this is a translation, click here for the original
Een camping waar we absoluut nog eens naar terug gaan! Ik heb er 6 nachtjes gestaan met mijn 2 jonge zoontjes (1, 3) en we hebben ontzettend genoten! Er was een speeltuintje die goed te zien is van vele plekken op het terrein, een net sanitair gebouw en vriendelijke beheerders :) Er was geen dag waar ik ze niet bezig heb gezien om het terrein mooi en netjes te houden.
Ook ligt de camping erg goed voor veel verschillende activiteiten, mooie uitzichten en ook het dorpje is voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Wij zijn erg tevreden -

No privacy. When the campground is full, everyone can see what their neighbors are doing—there are no hedges to separate the sites. In short, not great.
Stingy campground: a bit pricey for what you get, and to top it off in 2026, there wasn’t even toilet paper in the restrooms—they’re pretty stingy.
I spent a week there, and it was a week of … cold showers. No way to find hot water for the showers, whether you take them at 3 p.m., 10 p.m., or 9 a.m.... So when you come to work out all week, you don’t even get that pleasant moment after your workout...
In short, out of all the campgrounds I’ve been to, this one isn’t great at all.this is a translation, click here for the original
Pas d'intimité. Quand le camping est plein, tout le monde voit ce que font les voisins, pas de haies de séparation, bref pas génial.
Camping radin : prix un peu cher par rapport au niveau de prestation et en +, le comble en 2026, même pas de papier toilettes aux wc, niveau radinerie on est pas mal.
J'y ai passé une semaine, et ce fut une semaine de douches froides. Pas moyen de trouver de l'eau chaude pour les douches,qu'elles soient prises à 15h, 22h ou 9h... Alors quand tu viens pour faire du sport toute la semaine, il n'y a même pas ce moment agréable après le sport...
Bref, pour faire beaucoup de de campings, celui ci n'est pas top du tout. -
