When we arrived, we were shocked to see the leaves all over the deck. You should have a vehicle or something to remove the leaves, say twice a week. Otherwise it was all lovely.

De manière générale notre séjour a été très plaisant. L’espace aquatique et les installations en général sont très pratiques et adaptés à une famille avec enfants. Cependant certains points restent à améliorer, notamment le manque de transats à l’espace à aquatique. Nous avons également remarqué un manque de maîtres nageurs par rapport au nombre de personnes présentes. La literie est également très décevante pour un établissement 5* (matelas peu confortable, draps très peu pratiques, les couettes non protégées). Le spa est décevant, une des salles de soin est très peu isolée du bruit du coiffeur.

Great campsite, lovely staff, however when visitor numbers increased across Friday/Saturday/Sunday we experienced ongoing power cuts. Also during those busier days there was an increase in unacceptable behaviour in the pool/slides making it unsuitable to keep our smaller children there. Only 1 lifeguard who seemed to only respond to severely dangerous actions (so ignored the kid pulling his trunks down to go down the slides, or the older teens throwing themselves down the slides etc) Was a shame as rhe first half of our stay was faultless

The hot water in our mobilehome was very unstable. Most of the times we used cold water for showering as Well as doing the dishes. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. Fantastic service from the Young people at the restaurant.

Everything you need to know for your camping holiday – Right on the water

What activities can you look forward to during a campsite trip right on the water?

A truly rejuvenating vacation—a stay at a campsite right on the water is a delight for all ages. Relaxation, unique water activities, the joys of swimming and water games, as well as fishing in whitewater, the ocean, or a lake: a wide variety of à la carte activities await you, whether you’re at a campsite by the sea or on the banks of a river in France. Choose your type of stay from nature-oriented accommodations or those offering every comfort.

Why choose a campsite by a river for your vacation?

With its tree-lined banks and areas of pebbles or grass, the riverbank is ideal for picnics, relaxation… and fishing—whether with a rod, fly fishing, or predator fishing. Our Le Bontemps campsite in Isère welcomes you to a peaceful, lush setting right on the riverbank. Prefer a campsite by a lake? Check out our other locations, such as La Farigoulette or Le Lac Bleu, which are perfect for enjoying water sports and a nature-filled vacation by the water.

Why choose a campsite right on the water with a water park?

Choosing a campsite right on the water means enjoying a unique natural setting, whether by a river, a lake, or the sea. And when that campsite also features a water park, guests of all ages are guaranteed a well-rounded vacation: swimming in the waves, relaxing on the beach, as well as playing in the pool, sliding down the water slides, and enjoying water activities for the whole family. This way , you get the best of both worlds: the joys of water in the great outdoors and the fun of an on-site water park.

What are the benefits of a waterfront campsite with a water park?

By choosing a campsite right on the water, you’ll enjoy direct access to the beach, lake, or river for swimming and water activities. But if you also book a campsite with a water park, your vacation takes on a whole new dimension: heated pools, water play areas for kids, thrilling slides, and wellness areas for parents. It’s the perfect blend of nature and water activities that delights the whole family, from morning until night.

Want a vacation that combines comfort with swimming whenever you want?

A campsite right on the water lets you enjoy the pleasures of the sea, a lake, or a river whenever you want. But if you also choose a campsite with a heated pool, your days take on a whole new dimension: a pleasant swim no matter the weather, moments of relaxation after a water activity, water play for the kids even in the off-season… It’s the perfect way to combine the refreshing feel of a nature vacation with the comfort of a warm pool.

Want a vacation where you can go swimming no matter the weather?

A campsite right on the water guarantees you the joy of nature every day, with the beach, lake, or river just a short walk away. But to enjoy swimming year-round, choose a campsite with an indoor pool: swim in the warmth on cooler days, relax at the end of the day, or play water games with the kids even when the weather is unpredictable. It’s the guarantee of a vacation where water is always at the heart of your fun-filled moments.
