  • Spacious and shaded grass pitches 800 metres from Lac Léman
  • Five minutes' drive to Yvoire; half an hour to Geneva
  • Summer entertainment on site, plus swimming pool with retractable roof
Some will know it as Lac Léman, others as Lake Geneva – either way, this huge body of water on the border of France and Switzerland is the biggest lake in the Alps, and a mighty scenic place to spend some holiday time. As the name suggests, Haute-Savoie site Camping Relais du Léman is in an excellent position to explore the lake and its surroundings – the shoreline is only about 800 metres away from this location on the edge of the village of Messery. The village centre is about 15 minutes’ walk away for a couple of restaurants and bakeries as well as a convenience store. That location means you’ll be able to explore the various corners of the lake easily enough, whether you want to wander around Geneva and Thonon-les-Bains (both about half an hour’s drive), visit the gorgeous medieval village of Yvoire (five minutes) or seek out one of the beach areas along the shore for sunbathing, swims and watersports. Don’t worry if you don’t fancy a lake swim, though – there’s a pool on site that’s available in all weathers thanks to the clever retractable roof. Playgrounds, pétanque and a snack bar are also on site, and there’s an entertainment programme that runs through the summer high season. Staying here means you’ll be on marked-out spacious 100 m2 pitches with flowers all around and plenty of shade from the trees. Facilities include wifi, a launderette, a washing-up area and a toilet/shower block.

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort, large)

Liked: Camping muy tranquilo, silencioso y acogedor. También hay actividades para niños, pero los nuestros al no saber francés no pudieron disfrutarlo

Disliked: Estuvimos en una parcela muy alejada de la piscina y la zona principal de baños también. Los baños algo antiguos. La wifi de pago podría haber alguna opción gratuita.

Roy B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort, large)

Liked: Warm welcome from English speaking receptionist. Pitch was a reasonable size and well shaded by mature trees. As the temperature was 30 degrees most days this suited us. The facilities were clean and adequate for our needs. The onsite bar had a relaxed vibe and served pizza, burger, salads and ice cream. The pool is more for kids playing than any swimming. The site is about 10 minutes walk (5 minutes drive) to a small “free” beach where we swam and used paddle board / kayak. There were also no hassles having our dog with us. There are other bigger beaches nearby but you have to pay for parking and dogs are not allowed. The site is well placed for visiting all of the southern shore of Lac Léman, from Geneva to Villeneuve.

Disliked: The luke warm water in the showers. But to be fair the weather was so hot maybe this was a good thing 😊 The pitch was on a little bit of a slope and we don’t travel with levelling ramps. There is no WiFi and very poor reception for mobile phone.

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort, large)

Liked: We booked this as a one night stop over, we were very late checking in so the reception emailed instructions on how to enter site and find out pitch which was really helpful. As we stayed one night we can't really comment on much, the sanitation area was clean and tidy, pitch was spacious. Appeared to be in close proximity to lake Geneva and a nice village nearby

Disliked: Nothing

Electric grass and earth tent pitch (comfort, medium)

Liked: Separate pitches with lots of privacy. Good facilities, toilets, pool and bar with entertainment. Good location, close to town and only 20mins walk to the lake.

Disliked: Only slight issue was our proximity to a more permanent caravan pitch with an open window to a foul smelling toilet.

Local attractions

No doubt you’ll start your stay by racing straight down to the lake shore – perhaps to take a swim from the beach in Messery (20 minutes’ walk). You can hire kayaks, paddleboards, pedalos and windsurfers down here too if you’d like to get out on the lake. Yvoire (five minutes’ drive) may well be your next port of call – and you’ll quickly see why this lakeside village has been classified as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. There’s a classic castle to visit, along with remnants of the walls and gates that once surrounded the fortified village. It’s also worth taking a stroll through the Jardin des Cinq Sens, and/or following the two-kilometre walking and bike trail to Domaine de Rovorée before returning to the village for a restaurant meal. For other days out, you might like to visit the big birds at Les Aigles du Léman (15 minutes), ride the funicular from Thonon-les-Bains (half an hour) for spectacular lake views, or cross the border to Geneva (half an hour) to see the famed water fountain, stroll through the Old Town and climb the cathedral towers.
