Summary created out of 149 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 very nice campground near the mountain lakes... Friendly staff, a comfortable mobile home for a couple, complete with air conditioning. We'd love to come back.

    Welcome upon arrival.... The young woman didn't even look up at us while she was talking to us. Not even a kind word... We were told to drive into the campground and that someone would come out. The young man arrived, took us to the mobile home. He was very nice, explained how everything worked, and wished us a pleasant stay. The site: not a … single spot to play on the grass because there was barely enough room for the car. The mobile home: dirty—I wiped the cushions with a cloth and it turned gray.... Very unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Kitchenware: 1 tiny saucepan and 1 giant frying pan 🤣🤣. The couch—when you sit down, you sink 20 cm 🤣🤣—so it’s not very practical for eating…On the plus side: the snack bar opens at 7 p.m. The food is good and the prices are reasonable, but when your order is ready, the buzzer goes off and your plates are set out at the snack bar (no one is there...). State of the premises: I think it’s the owner who checks under the beds and the sofa. Funny story—we found a toy under the sofa when we arrived, and there was chocolate left in the first bowl we took. Oh yeah, I almost forgot—they gave us a slip of paper with the gate code and the police station number in case of any problems with our neighbors. I’ve been camping for over 30 years, and no one’s ever done that to me before 🤣🤣🤣🤣. We left just as we arrived—not even a “have a safe trip” or “maybe next time”... I gave it 2 stars because the second star is for the two young people (one girl and one boy) who were very friendly and kind.

    Accueil à l'arrivée.... la demoiselle n'a même pas levé les yeux pour nous regarder quand elle nous parlait. Même pas un mot gentil... On nous demande de rentrer dans le camping avec la voiture et que quelqu'un va venir. Le jeune homme arrive,nous emmène jusqu'au mobilhome. Très gentil, nous explique le fonctionne et nous souhaite un bon séjour. L'emplacement: pas un coin pour jouer dans l'herbe car déjà la voiture a du mal à tenir. Le mobilhome: sale j'ai passé une lingette sur les coussins et elle est devenue grise.... odeur très désagréable dans la salle de bain. Vaisselle: 1 mini casserole et 1 poêle géante 🤣🤣. Le canapé,on s assoit et on descend de 20 cm🤣🤣 du coup pas très pratique pour manger...Point positif: le snack par contre il ouvre à 19h.la cuisine est bonne et les tarifs sont bien par contre quand votre commande est prête le bip sonne et vos assiettes sont poser au snack( peronne est là....). État des lieux: je pense que c'est la patronne qui regarde sous les lits, le canapé. La blague on a retrouvé un jouet sous le canapé en arrivant, il restait du chocolat dans le premier bol qu'on a pris. Ah oui j'allais oublié,on nous donne un papier avec le code du portail et le numéro de la gendarmerie si problème avec nos voisins. Je fais du camping depuis plus de 30 ans et on me l'avait jamais fait🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nous sommes partis comme nous sommes arrivés même pas "un bon retour","peut-être à une prochaine fois"... J'ai mis 2 étoiles car la 2eme étoiles et pour les 2 jeunes ( 1 fille et 1 garcon) qui était très aimables et gentils.

    A really nice campground—we stumbled upon it while biking, and we were pleasantly surprised to find live music there; the sites were great for the price we paid.
