We used this site at the beginning of March on a stop over to Spain. Good hard standing, needed for early trips, choice of pitches. Electric hook up. Good toilet block, plenty of hot water in showers. Next to a beautiful lake, must be fab to visit in summer.

We stayed for 2 nights, the majority of staff were friendly and helpful. Most pitches didn’t appear very level, we moved from our allocated pitch and informed reception of this.
Although there was hot water in the showers, it was cold at the wash basins; the toilet facilities were truly awful. The first block was in desperate need of updating. The second block was in the process of being built, the female side was completed and in use for everyone. Both blocks had no toilet seats, toilet roll or hand soap. They were filthy, clumps of hair in the showers, debris on the floor and dead flies around the wash basins. I didn’t see a cleaner once and when I asked a member of staff they said they weren’t working yesterday so we’re not aware but they only had one cleaner!
Such a shame as it could be a pleasant site.

Unfortunately Geraudot are still operating their system (which we encountered last year for the first time) of giving ACSI members small/badly placed pitches - as opposed to some of their pleasant pitches - which were still available. Be warned that these are not really large enough for car, caravan and the expectation to sit and eat outside. Even as a stopover this isn’t very good now. We visited in mid June and one of the two Sanitaires was closed, resulting in pressure on the only other one and queues for washing up.

Ok site for an overnight to or from ferries. Toilets and showers in need of refurbishing. Pitches fairly small. Good access to lake with restaurants

We have used this site many times on our way south through France and always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant grassy emplacements. This time there may have been a change of management? We were told, firmly, that the pitch they had allocated to us was the one we must have and sent us on our way. The pitch (not an emplacement) was on gritty hardstanding and squeezed in behind a motorhome (who also looked unhappy about their ‘allocation’) and with several cabines next to us along with their cars. As it was only one night and they had made it clear that there was no option we put up with it. Annoying that plenty of the grassy emplacements remained empty anyway! They may have decided that at the ACSI rate this is all we qualified for? Whatever their reasoning, they have lost a customer. A direct complaint to ACSI will also follow.

We used our ACSI discount card - as we have for our last three visits as a stopover. However, on previous visits we could choose our own pitch and have always been very happy with their grassy emplacements with a few flowers and hedges to separate you from your neighbours. This time we were told that we MUST use the pitch allocated and nowhere else! We found we had been allocated probably the worst pitch on the site with difficult access immediately behind a motorhome and in an enclave of cabins and their cars,. We also noticed that there were lots of empty ‘normal emplacements’ vacant both when we arrived and when we walked round the site in the early evening. We could only assume this was because we had used a discount card and had therefore been allocated an inferior pitch leaving the normal pitches for people paying the full non-ACSI price. We were only staying one night and had just had a long drive or we would have moved on. We won’t be back to this site now. I hope ACSI take this up with the site so others don’t end up in the same unpleasant spot.

I think that we have stayed at Camping Les Rives du Lac 4 or 5 times now. All ways over night I must add. Sometimes with dogs. We have never booked in advance, maybe the first time, and have always been accommodated. The location is good for overnights to and from southern Europe. The site has easy access, good facilities and is secure. Bread and pastries could be ordered pre-covid but now it seem not to be the case. We actually look forward to our overnights here all ways a very pleasant experience at Camping Les Rives du Lac

Not new, but nice heated toilet block, really friendly staff, a lovely little lakeside, restaurant opposite (open even on a wet October evening - until curfew time!), and perfectly placed for stopover Calais > Annecy area, being in really easy reach of motorway. Would def stop again - imagine it would get busy in summer as the lake is so nice, but not a huge site so booking may be a good idea. Open all year which is v useful. Laid back and friendly (not to be confused with the big more regimented site on the other side of the lake).

A great little campsite perfectly situated next to the lake and beach. Friendly staff though with limited English, though with our limited French we still muddled through and they did arrange an appointment at the vets in preparation for our return home. Plenty to do at the lake with water sports, pedalos, crazy golf etc plus there’s a pizzeria there, though this had just closed for the season in early September. However there’s a small snack bar on site which looked fine and a small shop with the basics. Showers were good, hot water, lots of hooks, seating and shelving. Just remember to check if any have been closed for the season and remember to take toilet roll!

Stayed for 4 night during our tour of France. Well laid out site and very busy with many overnighters. Even so it was quiet and peaceful. There were pitches of all sizes and it pays to have a walk round and find a pitch to suit your particular rig if you get the choice. The reception area houses a small shop with essential grocery items. Lunchtime and evenings there is a small Fritterie and bar with a simple snack menu.
The site is in a good position if you are travelling north or south through France being quite close to the A20.
