The Lac des Sapins reservoir (added by manager 18 Apr 2023)

Dog-friendly Rhône site on the banks of Lac des Sapins
Tour d’Oingt village 40 minutes’ drive; Touroparc Zoo 55 minutes
Tennis courts and playground; walking distance to village bakery

Situated in the heart of the Beaujolais Vert winemaking area, Camping Le Lac des Sapins is likely to prove an irresistible magnet for oenophiles, who can spend their days driving around the Rhône region looking for wineries and tasting rooms – of which there are numerous within a half-hour drive. Watersports enthusiasts should also consider a holiday here, since this family-friendly spot is located on the banks of the Lac des Sapins, with its vast natural swimming pool that can accommodate a whopping 2,500 bathers. In addition to its swimming basins (there’s also a paddling pool for kids), this large reservoir has a sandy beach with views across the water to forested hills, a play area and several outfits hiring out paddleboards and pedal boats. If you prefer to admire the lake from up high, the surrounding hills are laced with shaded trails (some with open-air gym equipment, in case your hike isn’t hard enough to get your heart rate going), and a zipline park with treetop courses is popular with children. Back at the site, you can round out the day with a game of tennis while the kids hit the playground, before freshening up for the evening in the large toilet/shower block. For dinner, head to one of the lakeside restaurants (five minutes’ drive) or to the nearby village of Cublize (10 minutes’ walk) where a couple of bakeries and convenience stores sell all you need for a picnic. Dogs are welcome at the site, and although they are not allowed on the beach and in the lake, they can accompany you on your walking exploration of the area.

Powered grass campsite (comfort)

Liked: Spacious pitches surrounded by hedges. Clean loos/showers. Lots of activities for children and a lovely bio pool. However it was useless for us as we have a dog. However we swam in the lake which was great although there were warning signs against swimming there as the bottom of the lake was unstable but that's typical of lakes!

Disliked: No hot water for washing up and luke warm for showers. Wifi was intermittent but it was high season and we had a pitch a fair distance from the reception.

Local attractions

Spend a few hours getting lost among the cobbled streets of Tour d’Oingt (40 minutes’ drive), with its medieval stone houses. This impossibly pretty village is home to many artists and craftspeople, and you can visit their studios and watch them at work. The Musée De La Musique Mécanique displays a range of mechanical musical instruments, including organs and music boxes. Stretching on the banks of the Saône river, Villefranche-sur-Saône (55 minutes) is known for the Gothic architecture of the Église Notre-Dame des Marais and the collection of regional art at the Musée Paul-Dini. Happy City is a vast indoor amusement park with trampolines, adventure courses and a climbing wall. Residents at Touroparc Zoo (55 minutes) include red pandas, giraffes and big cats, plus pink flamingos and other birds. In addition to an amusement park with a vintage carousel and a monorail, there’s an aquapark with huge waterslides. The site also runs a popular tree-climbing course for children.
