24 Avenue de Senevulaz, 74200, Thonon-les-Bains
Been here?
Wooded natural campsite with spacious shaded pitches under old trees, no asphalt or gravel. Owners are welcoming and friendly; rates around €20 for two without electricity. Sanitary facilities are basic and dated, mostly standing toilets, though staff tries to maintain. Old trees and biodiversity make it peaceful; 30-minute walk to town centre and bus stop. Uncertain future due to planned housing development.

A very beautiful natural area, with no asphalt or gravel: greenery, trees, insects, and wonderful biodiversity! As for the infrastructure, everything necessary is available, even though some comments mention that it is outdated—is that really the most important thing in a place like this? Ask us the right questions! They want to build a school here. Help us save this campsite!Translating
We were very satisfied with the campsite. We usually wild-camp quite a lot, so we were grateful for all the extras we received, and it was not expensive. Regarding the toilets and hygiene, I think they make an effort, although they may not always keep up. They are indeed somewhat old and cramped. Otherwise, it is quiet, pleasant, fair-priced, and shady.Translating
Some comments read as though they were commissioned. The sanitary facilities are borderline, mostly standing toilets, with some clogged. Yes, it is shady and central, but it is outdated. The grounds and old trees are ideal for camping. What a shame.Translating
Large wooded grounds. Welcoming owners. More than reasonable prices (€20 for two people without electricity). The sanitary facilities are admittedly outdated but maintained by staff who are not responsible for the incivility of some guests. Thank you to the owners, and good luck for the future.Translating
Anyone who can cope with very basic sanitary facilities, many shaded pitches beneath old trees, very attentive and friendly staff, and low prices is in exactly the right place here. The old town is about a 30-minute walk away.Translating
Very friendly welcome. The sanitary facilities are very outdated but perfectly adequate. The pitches are fine and it is very quiet. Posters are displayed here and there calling for support for the campsite because it has to make way for housing.Translating
Very poor campsite in terms of outdated and badly maintained sanitary facilities. A mixed welcome, with a manager who constantly goes back and forth. I do not recommend it, even for one night.Translating
Simple and effective! This is my third time here, and this campsite is always a delight! The managers are fantastic!Translating
We arrived by motorhome intending to stay one night, but stayed four! Super welcome, spacious shaded areas, quiet, clean sanitary facilities, and hot water. Two steps from a bus stop for going into the city centre. No frills. We wish the owners success in saving Black Lake.Translating
Very low-end campsite, poorly maintained grounds, outdated sanitary facilities, and cold showers. We had to change pitches during the night with our motorhome because of a problem with their electrical hookup. A bad experience for us.Translating
Excellent family welcome at this campsite! We were received like friends by truly wonderful owners. Flat motorhome pitch, with electricity available if desired. Period-style sanitary facilities, but very clean and functional. I recommend it for a stopover in Thonon!Translating
No fuss, no chatter, just what you need: electricity if required, and sanitary facilities and showers that are “as they are” but clean. Beautiful level pitches and coolness from the large trees everywhere. Quiet. Perfect for a good night's rest. Good coffee available on site. A fantastic welcome at a friendly family campsite with very reasonable prices, and they accept holiday vouchers.Translating
Wonderful welcome; we were received very well. Small, very charming campsite with a little snack bar on site. The sanitary facilities and toilets are clean, and the campers are respectful.Translating
Excellent welcome, top-notch. It is a shame that the municipality wants to take over this land to build more concrete. Thonon has already disappointed us, with not many green spaces. This campsite is a breath of fresh air. I will gladly return. Let us preserve this friendly place. Many thanks to the owners, Coco.Translating
Extremely kind. This family welcomed us warmly and with smiles and accommodated us despite the influx of travelling holidaymakers. This campsite is a breath of fresh air when you are in Thonon. Wooded and quiet, with clean sanitary facilities—the essentials are there. Far from mass tourism, this family is fighting to preserve their campsite. We wish this family great courage.Translating
Quiet, family-friendly place close to the beach and city centre! We will return next year. Perfect for tent camping!Translating
Very beautiful, peaceful place among the trees. The owner is very welcoming. Close to Lake Geneva, where I went swimming. It is a shame that this place is going to disappear to make way for a school. A petition is available to sign to save places like this. Please respect the site.Translating
