swimming in the lake

no shop on site
pitches not clearly marked - was told to pitch up anywhere - but there were very few places left
have to order bread the night before - was not told this upon arrival - receptionist who checked us in was very minimalistic

The vieuw and the water

The french nationalism !!! The not talking english while u make profit most out of tourism! We came there and before arrival I called. Nobody spoke english so I hang up. When we arrived they didnt understand english and I had to show Google translate! After that we got a stone field instead of grass :( our tent is still dirty en the underground is damaged a little bit.

They were kind tho

Amazing, picturesque location. Replacement site had good facilities.

We had booked in advance but we told on arrival that the campsite was full, and so we were redirected to a sister campsite 20 minutes away. Check in generally slow.

This is a beautiful location overlooking the lake. It is mostly very French with permanent structures all along the banks of the lake. Quiet and peaceful and a great cycle ride all round the lake. Good bar and boule courts.

The campsite had no record of our booking, made 3 weeks previously!! So we were sent to find a pitch. We were lucky with a lovely view of the lake but we noticed a lot of other people driving around looking for pitches and some areas were simply packed in amongst each other

Location, pizza van

Reception disorganised and long wait. Facilities clean but not many loos or showers for size of site. Was supposed to have electric hook up.... but not enough spaces available.

This campsite is situated on the shore of Lake Ain in the beautiful town of Condes, Jura, France, 39240. Located about 140 km north of Chambery and 100km west of Geneva in a remote scenic area its well worth a visit. For cyclists there is a number of routes you can access from the site. Staff are very friendly and helpful here. What appealed to us was there was no checkout time, so no rushing to get off your pitch and get on the road.

Setting by lake

Washing and toilet facilities were a spider heaven, enormous webs were left uncleared with hundreds of spiders running through them right above sinks and toilets. Facilities were tired and cleaned with a hose so leaving you to wade through pools of water if you wanted to get to a toilet. Showers all had brown stains in the trays. In the end I felt the facilities were unusable and after a day's travelling did not get the shower I was looking forward to.

Generally the site felt run down with leaves uncollected and old, dirty static vans near the entrance. The reception was equally tiny, messy and uninviting. This was all a shame given the setting.

Beautiful location by clear water lake, surrounded by nature and pretty French towns. We stopped for 2 nights on our way further south, but would definitely come back.

The pitches were a good size (hard soil so remember a mallet and decent pegs), plenty of power supplies and drinking water taps around the site. The facilities were clean, just make sure you bring your own toilet roll and soap (apparently there were lots of big spiders in the roof so don’t look up into the rafters!).

Felt very family friendly, lots of people enjoying games of pétanque, swimming, fishing etc
Church bells in the village chime from 7pm, might irritate some bit we liked them! Fellow campers were respectful, noise was minimal at night and early in the morning.

You can order bread from reception for the next morning, also only a 15 min drive to a lovely bakery and butchers in Dortan. There is also a good sized supermarket at Dortan, or more options a bit further at Oyonnax.

Apparently you can hire canoes for 10 euros per person per half day.

Location. Size of pitches. Flat ground. Active but peaceful site.

Would have liked clear pathways between the pitches on the lake’s shore because it felt like you were intruding on people’s pitches when accessing the lake.
