Beautiful alpine setting with good cycling and walking ; easy drive to Lac du Bourget ( great cycle route around the lake). Small lake next to campsite for fishing and some swimming. Friendly and very helpful owner.

Travelling party: Couple

What a wonderful campsite which we discovered by luck. The site is nestled in quiet surroundings with some amazing mountain scenery next to a beautiful lake where you can swim, SUP, kayak or just float around on inflatables enjoying the stunning scenery. The pitches are an adequate size most with good tree shade. Facilities block is good, well maintained and always very clean which was odd because we never saw anyone cleaning them. The lake, which is literally over the road, varied from quiet to very busy on the weekend but it was families enjoying themselves so there was a good friendly vibe and certainly not rowdy. If you\'re a keen cyclist the area is paradise, lots of varied terrain through a truly beautiful part of France, we went out every day and never repeated a route. Originally we we\'re only staying 7 days but we added on another 2 and still we\'re reluctant to leave. No doubt we will return again and wound highly recommend the place.
