Camping Mont Blanc Plage

Liked Handy stopover site, easy set up with the ability to choose where to pitch. The real plus is the swimming lake that we could go in until 9pm. It was amazing after a hot drive, with beautiful views of the mountains.

Disliked The road noise is real, but for a night or 2 while you swim and recharge it is great.

Liked Great location with amazing views of Mont Blanc. Was allowed to check in early which was great help. Walking distance to public lake with beach in addition to complimentary use of lake on the campsite. Restaurant was very nice with excellent food. Would recommend numbers on pitches which correspond with the map provided to make choosing a pitch easier.

Liked The location is great. Complete with an unbelievable view of the Mont Blanc Massive. The campsite lake was at 27°, great for cooling down and a decent swim. There is a good restaurant on site. The two sisters who run the site are very friendly and helpful. The pitches are as big as you want them, you choose where you want to be. There is some road noise from the nearby motorway but you don’t really notice it after a while. There are also a few trains nearby but they don’t run at night. Only reason not to give a 10:
The campsite doesn’t have a gray water disposal area, you have to go into the nearest town.

Disliked No gray water disposal.

Liked Beautiful setting and swimming lake. Good shady spots.
Clean loos and showers

Although we were between a road and a railway line, the noise was minimal. The wildlife - ducks, coots, frogs etc were louder.

Loads of well marked walks nearby further up the mountain to escape the heat.

Very good value.

Disliked No soap by the basins.

Grotty looking entrance with graffiti nearby was slightly off putting.

Liked This is a quiet site in a beautiful setting. It’s perfectly placed for Alpine adventures and the private lake is perfect for swimming and paddle boarding. You can choose where you want to pitch but be aware that you may need to stretch your electricity cable across the road. The bar and restaurant are pleasant. We loved that our fellow campers respected the quiet of the site and there was silence after 10 pm.

The site is run by two sisters and along with the lido has seen better days. That said, these quirks add to its charm. The utility blocks were kept clean, the washing machine was free and there was an abundance of hot water, provided by solar panels.

Disliked There are no bins by the washing up area and no recycling on site (a short walk resolved that problem) No soap or sanitizer is provided in the loos. It is close to the A40 but we got used to the drone of traffic. There is a train track very close to the site that may cause disturbance if you’re pitched near to it.

Liked Quirky small campsite based around a small shallow lake. Another much larger lake on the actual site can be used for swimming and sunbathing, as long as you don’t mind swimming with the fish!

It must have been a great site back in its hay day but now it just feels a little old and tired……. Like something that originally dated from the 70s-80s!

However, you can pitch right next to the little lake and just relax.

There was a restaurant however it was very dated. I think they would have been better off getting rid of the actual restaurant and just having some sort of snack bar style area - where you could just get a burger or salad.
€31 for a burger and fries and a cold beer was a bit much though.
Bring your own cooking stuff and do a BBQ instead.

Toilets had by the look of it just been all redone and modernised. Can’t complain about their cleanliness at all - always clean, and importantly you didn’t need your own toilet roll!!

Whole site was very clean, no rubbish at all, so no complaints there.

Each pitch is only ever a pitch or so away from mains power, however water is only at either of the two toilet block areas. A couple of standpipe taps would have been nice.

If you walk across the railway line (there’s never many trains and you don’t really notice any noise) then there is a much much bigger public lake (lac de Passy) and beach area along with a snack bar/cafe.
During the summer this public lake has a big inflatable jump park in the water. This lake would also be great for paddle boarding on and also the beach area is very shallow so great for kids. You can even hire lifejackets.

No onsite shop at all, so you’ll need to use the supermarkets at Passy and Sallanches. If you need any camping stuff then there is a huge Decathlon in Passy. Plus fuel is available in both towns. Chamonix is around a 20 minute drive.

Overall, I paid about €26 for two nights. The site was clean and functional and perfect stop off point on my road trip.
Would I stop here again, yes but probably just for one night as an overnight stop off when coming through the Alps.

The ducks are friendly and will eat food from your hand, however they can be noisy buggers after dusk!
