Camping de la Maladaire

Magnificent view, with the pitch 20 metres from the beach. The owners of this municipal campsite are truly welcoming and cheerful.

Probably a good campsite, but dogs are NOT allowed!

We spent one night with our camper van on the pitch. The direct access to Lake Geneva and the view are unbeatable. The reception is very friendly and the sanitary facilities are older but clean. One star deducted because of the fairly busy road above the site and the resulting noise.

ATTENTION! Although the website lists pitches for campers over 7.5 metres, the campsite cannot accommodate campers over 7 metres. Larger vehicles partially obstruct the narrow access road and could be hit. The service area is on the access road; grey water can only be discharged if you have a hose. The pitches are now right at the entrance opposite the PUBLIC BEACH, with people passing just centimetres from the campers and children playing ball between them. The reception staff are very kind, but this campsite should be avoided by vehicles over 7 metres or anyone seeking peace and quiet.

Friendly welcome. Very nice lakeside location. All pitches are equivalent, although also quite small. Sanitary facilities outdated but clean. Cosy bistro under the trees. We did not find the road noise disturbing. The mix of campers and external visitors due to public access takes some getting used to, but is not a problem.

Simple campsite. Facing the lake, with magnificent sunsets and shade on the pitch until early afternoon. Beach with grass and pebbles. Hot shower. Nice little bar. Free public transport included and nearby. On Saturday, some people were in the square with music, but they were very respectful. You can hear the road a little, but it is below the site and quiet at night.

Big disappointment. Extremely noisy beside the national road and public beach, just 2 metres from the 14 pitches for motorhomes up to 7 metres. On Thursday there were lots of people until late: alcohol, barbecues, children shouting. You must phone to get the gate key. One sink for washing dishes, rudimentary sanitary facilities, four lukewarm showers, no washbasin, and two stainless-steel basins with cold water. Keep driving—expensive at €41 per night for two people plus electricity.

The guy working there is super nice and does really nice job BUT the camping spots are tiny, it’s really crowded, the beach is full people not from the camping bc it’s public, the toilets are shared with the people that go to the beach and to the restaurant and the road is just there, so it’s really noisy! Totally overpriced!

Small campsite ideally located on the shores of Lake Geneva. Bus stop at the campsite entrance. Clearly marked pitch and a small patch of grass for each one. Reservation recommended!

Great for smaller vans a pain to find but good directions from the people that run it. Very friendly and helpful on site staff. It’s a bit of a footpath expect lots of people walking past your van. Facilities quite basic but there’s showers toilets and a nice open air cafe. Don’t expect to put up an awning it’s pretty tight on space. fantastic location with brilliant views over the lake.

The location makes up for everything. You could not imagine a better pitch. Right on the lake; in the evening, when the swimmers have gone, it is idyllic. Small restaurant and bar on site, wonderfully located under trees by the water. Sanitary facilities very basic and small, but sufficient. Staff extremely relaxed and friendly. Only a few pitches, so be sure to reserve online.

A great little site close to Montreux. Good value for Switzerland, 30chf for one night (one person and motorhome) including public transport pass. Facilities are basic but clean. Lovely location on the banks of Lake Geneva.

Nice campsite with a lake view. Clean sanitary facilities, restaurant and bar available. Employees and owners very welcoming. Several pitches for vans or motorhomes. Be aware that the road is just above, which may be bothersome.

It is fine for caravans, but if you go with a tent, the pitch is very, very small and you cannot bring the car in. The good thing is that all pitches have lake views; you are literally right above the lake and can swim. The bathrooms are clean. The campsite is on a public beach, with stairs from the street so anyone can enter at any time.

Small, well-organized campsite. Pitches right on the water. Public beach, so quite busy during the day. Dishwashing area, laundry, compost, and kitchen. Clean sanitary facilities, cleaned several times a day; showers reserved for campers. Bakery service in the morning. Nice beach restaurant/bar. Very friendly staff. Some noise at night because of the busy road above. Bus cards included for going into town.

Despite our late arrival, the manager found us a place. Very welcoming. Magnificent view, clean toilets and shower. Reasonable price for the location. The pitches are a little cramped, but otherwise a very good place.

Very friendly people and a beautiful site. It is very basic. I miss having facilities for emptying and filling water tanks. Free transport in the area.

The perfect campsite. Beautiful, clean, convenient. They also provided us with a free public transport pass. We will definitely return.

Small campsite with a superb view of the lake and direct access to the lakeside beach. Very friendly staff, and an ideal starting point for visiting Montreux, 15 minutes by bus. The sanitary facilities are clean and the lakeside bar has reasonable prices for Switzerland. There is not much traffic on the road above in the morning, and the sound of cars is softened by the sound of the waves.

Difficult with a 7.4-metre vehicle and bicycles. Even entering is tricky: you must arrive from Montreux and cut across the marked lines to stop in front of the gate on your left. In summer, there is very little chance of finding a place without a reservation. The lengthwise pitches are short. Campsite right on the water, public beach, no disposal facilities, old showers. Nice restaurant. Free transport.

Clean sanitary facilities, warm shower, directly by the lake with a view of the sunset. Swimming in the lake is wonderful. Wi-Fi available. Simple but beautiful?

Simple, quiet campsite with a superb view of the lake. Small pitches, close together, and a train passing above, but nothing disturbing. The sanitary facilities are simple but very clean. No possibility of emptying grey water or toilets. Very friendly staff; we received discounts for museums and free buses. Fishing is possible at the campsite.

We enjoyed our stay! Magnificent view, rustic but always very clean sanitary facilities, and very friendly staff. Space is limited, so few pitches are available; booking on their website is necessary. The road passes above, but it is not bothersome in this season. Ask for the Montreux Riviera card, which provides free public transport and discounts.

Five stars because this special campsite gave us four wonderful days. Very friendly and hardworking people run it. The sanitary facilities are old but ALWAYS clean. Get up, walk 10 metres across the grass, and go swimming. We travelled on foot, by bicycle, bus, boat, and train, from Montreux to Lausanne. The real luxury is the people behind it and the location.

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed…

Great view directly on the shore. The campsite is more for hippies and small motorhomes; the sanitary facilities are old, or perhaps intentionally so. Very friendly staff.

Fantastic view, pitch directly by the lake. Unfortunately, some of the sanitary facilities were defective and very outdated. Currently only cold water.

Beautiful campsite directly on the lake with breathtaking mountain views. Free bus service included in the price, with a bus every 10 minutes. A small covered kitchen with a refrigerator helped us get through a rainy day. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities are very outdated. The staff were very friendly and lent us an adapter several times because the electrical sockets are so unusual.

Magnificent campsite right on the water. There is a kitchen area with a hob, sink, and tables. The only drawbacks are the sanitary facilities, where you often have to wait, and the busy road above with its illuminated streetlights. The pitches are not huge and somewhat muddy, but there is enough space to set up a chair and table in front of the pitch. There is a restaurant with scheduled entertainment.
