Summary created out of 133 reviews

Guests particularly appreciate the friendly staff and warm welcome, regularly described as helpful and hospitable. The location near Chambéry and the lake is considered ideal, with plenty of walking and cycling opportunities nearby. The spacious pitches and excellent children's play area with equipment, bouncy castle and trampoline make the park popular with families. Points for improvement include the sanitary facilities, which could be cleaner and better maintained, and the lack of a swimming pool or good swimming option.

    A campground that isn't worth 4 stars for the price.
    The restrooms are basic, and the sites are poorly maintained—the hedges and overhanging branches need attention. You have to be careful with RVs.
    The only positive aspect is the view of the mountains.

    Camping qui ne vaut pas 4 étoiles pour le prix.
    Les sanitaires sont minimalistes, les emplacements manquent d'entretien au niveau des haies et branchages. Il faut faire attention avec les camping cars.
    Le seul point positif est la vue sur les montagnes.

    Great campground—well-located, reasonably priced, and well-equipped. The staff is friendly, and it has everything you need to have a wonderful time with family or friends. As an added bonus, there are even sites with private restrooms.

    Super Camping, bien situé, pas trop chère et bien équipé. Le personnel est sympathique et il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour passer de super moments en famille ou entre amis. Le petit truc en plus, il y a même des emplacements avec des sanitaires privatifs

    I don’t understand how this campground can be a 4-star property—there isn’t even toilet paper in the restrooms!
    It does have a common area, but its cleanliness is questionable given all the dust and cobwebs on the walls.

    The welcome was rather cold toward us—the staff wouldn’t even look up from their phones or computers to greet us or provide information… the quality of service was pretty mediocre.

    It’s located near many shops but is noisy due to its location (downtown, near the airfield, not to mention some campers who show absolutely no regard for community living or respect for others).

    Je ne comprends pas comment ce camping peut être un 4 etoiles, même pas de papier toilettes dans les sanitaires!
    Il a le mérite de proposer un espace commun mais dont la propreté est douteuse vu toute la poussière et les toiles d’araignées au mur.

    L’accueil a été plutôt froid nous concernant, ne pas lever les yeux de son téléphone ou son ordinateur pour l’accueil ou des renseignements…plutôt moyen comme qualité de service.

    Il est situé à proximité de nombreux commerces mais bruyant de par sa localisation (centre ville, proximité aérodrome, sans compter certains campeurs pas soucieux du tout du vivre ensemble et du respect de l’autre)
