Friendly welcome from the owner, very quiet place.Translating
Magical place, natural, peaceful and cool. Linda and Jean-Pierre, the owners, are lovely. Rate €8 per night plus tourist tax of €0.61 per person. On site: toilets, bar and trout.Translating
A paradise! Wonderful and well maintained, surrounded by nature. The Tour de Lac circular trail is recommended; it takes about 2–3 hours. Thank you for lovingly maintaining this place!Translating
Quiet view and natural setting, but a victim of its own success. It is no longer enough to buy something at the bar; now it costs €8 per night to limit the crowds.Translating
Beautiful spot. Pay €8 for the private pitch at the bar, then enjoy the peace and the beautiful crater lake with a small beach and space for fishermen. The lake is at 1,200 metres, so it is wonderfully cool at night.Translating
A dreamlike, peaceful place. The owners are very pleasant and the trout are delicious.Translating
It costs €7 for the night, whether or not you have a drink at the bar. You must fill in a form. Motorhome parking is at the back near the boules court, with little shade. Swimming is prohibited throughout the lake, which belongs to the bar owner, but apparently everyone swims there. We swam too; the water was 18°C but pleasant. Magnificent lake, quiet parking, rather average welcome at the bar.Translating
Great place. We arrived without knowing it was paid. The owner came early in the morning, explained that it was private, and did not ask us for anything in return. Many thanks to him.Translating
The bar owner allowed us to park wherever we wanted without any problem and without asking anything in return. Thank you! We were alone. Very pleasant place despite the wind.Translating
Very friendly welcome and place, with a beautiful walk around the lake. We slept one very peaceful night, free because we bought a drink at the bar.Translating
Very pleasant place with a view of the lake. Very welcoming owners; we had a wonderful, peaceful night. We had a little coffee before leaving in the morning and chatted with the owner, which was lovely. You can sleep for free with a purchase, what more could you ask for? Fishermen can enjoy a good time here. Recommended.Translating
Very peaceful, beautiful view and very friendly welcome. Having a drink at the bar is pleasant, and sleeping beside the lake is a great arrangement. The dogs had a wonderful time too. Thank you for this stopover.Translating
Pretty, peaceful place beside the lake, offering a splendid sunset. Cows, goats, sheep and horses in the surrounding fields. Friendly, smiling owners. Overnight price €6, or free with a drink at the bar. The best part is the excellent trout for sale.Translating
Very beautiful, peaceful spot beside the lake. Very friendly welcome from the bar owners, who also own the pitches. Few places were available because of works in progress during our visit. The fishing permit was a little expensive for the evening, but we had a very good time.Translating
We intended to spend one night beside Lake Saint-Front, but we felt so comfortable that we stayed for three. The owners of the lakeside bar are very friendly. The walk around the lake takes 1 hour 15 minutes and is very pleasant.Translating
