We had a great evening and night, in the shade, with a sink, shower, and toilet available. The water sports center was open, and the staff were personally very friendly.Translating
We loved this place. No electric but good showers. Super U just 1mile away. We were the only van there so the toilets were ours exclusively!! Staff great too.
It should just be specified that when coming from Pont-d'Ain, the road leading to the leisure center has a bridge with a maximum height of 2.50 m and is fairly narrow. Impossible for large motorhomes. We are disappointed. Perhaps there is another route; please indicate it.Translating
Great welcome, €6 per person, shower, toilets, plenty of shade—it is perfect.Translating
Nice place, friendly welcome. Swimming is prohibited but possible; the mayor simply wants to avoid liability in case of an accident. You can set up wherever you like under the trees.Translating
We were able to park anywhere on the grounds and had a quiet night as the base camp closed around 6pm (usually later in high season). Showers and toilets available 24hrs which was welcome.
Very beautiful surroundings, but when we arrived it said that it was closed on Mondays. We stayed at a nearby campsite.Translating
According to the lady, the gate is open 24/7, but after 8 p.m. you have to open and close it yourself. I spent a quiet night here with one other camper; otherwise I am alone here. Toilets and shower usable 24/7. Directly beside the lake for swimming or SUP. Unfortunately, there are some mosquitoes. Lots of shade, an advantage in extremely hot weather!Translating
The site is actually very beautiful, with access for swimming. However, the canoe club was closed when I arrived shortly after 6 p.m. Overnight stays are expressly prohibited in the public car park directly in front. The warning not to take the northern access road should be heeded. Maximum clearance 2.50 m!Translating
Excellent welcome and location! A little swim after a long day of driving—wonderful!Translating
Beautiful, peaceful place. If you are self-sufficient, it is great. Be careful to choose a spot where you will not get stuck in the mud.Translating
Found spontaneously and arrived without problems at 8 p.m. An unbelievably wonderful location, with very clean toilets, showers, and washing-up facilities. Normally €6 per person, but the showers were cold, so we were allowed to stay for free. Thirty meters away there is a hotspot for young people, and we heard music until midnight. Highly recommended for a stopover!Translating
Very quiet, with a view of the lake and rubbish bins.Translating
Lovely place by the lake for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and canoeing. The dog is also welcome at the lake. Be aware of parties at the club; ask about them before paying. The motorway does make some noise at night.Translating
Beautiful place on a grassy field among the trees.Translating
Small area managed by the canoe club, very good, but pay attention to the opening hours.Translating
