Campsite Le Chaponnet

Not quite the 4-star experience we expected. The accommodation was neat and clean, but the bed was uncomfortable and the slatted bed base was broken. The swimming pool, gym, arcade, tennis court and inflatable play areas were outdated and in need of renovation. The sanitary facilities were quite far away and not always very clean. The site itself felt a bit messy, with the layout of paths, pitches and different types of (mobile) homes. That said, we still had a nice holiday overall, and the reception staff were friendly.

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.

Pitch size didn’t meet expectations. Poor toilet and bath facilities. One building wasn’t even open according to the opening hours written on the door. But why even close it. And one morning no toilets in any of the buildings were able to flush.

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.
