  • Peaceful site on the shore of Lac de Coiselet
  • On the edge of the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park
  • Watersports and fishing for pike, perch, carp and trout
For a peaceful lakeside park, family-friendly Camping Sous Le Moulin is a sterling spot: settled on the shores of Lac de Coiselet next to the village of Condes, and surrounded by the spectacularly scenic mountains of the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park. The entire park lies on the shores of the lake, and has plenty of pitches that look out directly over the water for views of the mountains that encircle the site. Water-based activities abound and include boating, windsurfing, waterskiing and canoeing. There's also some first-rate fishing to be had in the lake, which is stocked with pike, perch, carp and trout; the nearby Ain, Bienne and Valouse rivers are also brimming with fine fishy specimens. Site staff recommend remaining on land at least some of the time so that you can try out the 18-kilometre circuit around the lake, or bike along the marked cycling routes that tour the gorges and viaducts that lie along the Ain. Other stuff to keep you and the kids entertained include a big playground and a pétanque court, and you can pick up a newspaper on site to relax with at the water's edge along with a breakfast of fresh baguettes delivered direct to your pitch. For food off site a supermarket lies three kilometres down the road, and a selection of restaurants are within 15 minutes' drive in the cultural hub of Oyonnax.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Good welcome, nice roomy pitches. The view of the mountains is lovely and the surroundings we stunning. Self-serve kayak hire (via app) is a great idea. No dislikes but just good to knows, unless you’re on the front row, you can’t see the lake.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Decent size pitches with lake view, in a beautiful location - good for cycling. Pleasant walk up the hill through the village to an organic goat farm where you can buy their produce including cheese. Clean facilities. Straightforward check-in. Able to order bread on site for morning.

Disliked: The facilities appear to be undergoing renovation, so will potentially improve shortly but whilst we were there (end July 2023) it seemed there were only 2 showers in use (warm and powerful) in the old sanitary block at the far end of the site. We didn’t actually have to wait and it wasn’t an issue as we only stayed one night.

Andy C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Location next to lake is perfect, food available on site in the evening is nice as we attended the BBQ, toilets and showers are basic and outdated and only 1 block working which was a considerable distance from pitch. Staff appeared helpful and competent. It’s fairly isolated so take provisions. Check if booking via Pitchup as had no reservation for us and another family despite full payment in advance and only way to resolve was to pay in full again for another 2 reservations and still haven’t had money refunded. Owner also claimed to never of heard of Pitchup.

Disliked: Site had no reservation for us and another family via Pitchup despite full payment in advance. Only way to secure accommodation was to pay site direct again so €130 paid twice, still waiting for refund and communication between site and Pitchup dubious with quotes like “they refused a refund” ……not true, would be nice if Pitchup sorted this debacle out asap.

Local attractions

Camping Sous Le Moulin is in a spectacular countryside setting among the hills, forests and lakes of the Jura region, next to the village of Condes. Direct access to the lake means lots of water-based fun that includes boating, windsurfing, waterskiing, canoeing and fishing for pike, perch, carp and trout, and as the cliffs overlooking the site are home to plenty of rare species including peregrine falcons, red kites, swans, grey heron and chamois, this a popular haunt for wildlife spotters and birdwatchers too. Outdoor activity options in the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park include hang-gliding and paragliding from Chancia-Montcusel, horse riding in Massiat, and canyoning and climbing trips a little further afield in Vevy – all you need to do is decide which one to do first. A short drive will bring you to cultural Oyonnax, where in addition to lots of respectable restaurants there are also cinemas and concert halls aplenty, plus a museum dedicated to the city's plastics heritage with exhibits that display plasticky pieces from all over the world. For a good mix of l'histoire and le spectacle, visit the ruins of Château d'Oliferne, just south of the site, where there's a 1.5-kilometre walk punctuated by historic monuments and views over the Ain valley, or the Cathedral and Brou Royal Monastery in Bourg-en-Bresse, a flamboyant Gothic masterpiece that comprises unusual monastic buildings, a church and three cloisters. The Cerdon Caves and prehistoric theme park, just over 40 minutes' drive away, are well worth a visit; kids can get involved in workshops that will teach them how to hunt with spears, paint on cave walls, craft Neolithic pots and create fire from flint while you explore a subterranean cave network that emerges onto a viewing platform that overlooks the vineyards of Cerdon.
