  • Well-kept site on the banks of Lac de Neuchâtel in Grandson
  • Yverdon-les-Bains 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Vallorbe Caves
  • Beach area and paddleboard hire on site; restaurant next door
Keen on watersports? Or just like a lovely lake view for your chilled-out holiday downtime? Both options can be part of your day when you stay at Camping Le Pécos, on the banks of Lac de Neuchâtel in Grandson. This is the largest lake in Switzerland, so it’s no surprise to find that the views here are pretty fabulous – and you'll be able to admire them all day long if you like, settling down at the lake beach area and perhaps venturing into the water from time to time to cool off. There's also a beach volleyball court if you'd rather indulge your competitive side, plus a boat ramp where you can launch kayaks or small boats – and you can rent paddleboards to take out on the water too. Back on dry land, there’s a play area in the campsite (and another two next door), a couple of pétanque courts and three ping pong tables, along with a small number of bikes to rent. Tennis, climbing and a trampoline gym are a short walk away, if you need a bit more activity in your day. And the lake isn’t the only scenic feature in the area, so you can plan days of hiking nearby too. Sounds like you’ll need to stay well fed to get through all these activities… and handily that should be fairly easy to do as the site has a well-stocked mini market with plenty of essentials alongside local produce (meats, cheeses, baked goods and beers among them). There's also a restaurant next door that's particularly well known for its lake perch fillets.

What customers say

Great for families, this lakeside spot boasts spotless facilities, powerful showers & helpful staff. Kids have loads to do, SUPs available. Mostly peaceful but note train noise & close pitches. Extra costs for showers/parking.

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked Good lakeside location. Very good facilities. Friendly welcome. Decent size pitch.

Disliked The site is mainly for long-term residents/visitors, with caravans and extensions that are very close together. Grandson wasvery quiet when we visited.

Liked We arrived here after a long day’s driving from Florence to a friendly and warm welcome. We paid our holiday balance in addition to 90 cents each for a few shower tokens to the lovely lady on reception, who could not have been more helpful. After this we were shown to our plots, which we located directly adjacent to the main car parking area, which slightly made this feel as if we were camping in a car park. Our pitches were squeezed between this car park and the adjacent tennis/paddle courts, which meant that we had to listen to fair bit of grunting and shouting from the players during the evening. All went quiet at 11pm though and a restful nights sleep was had by all on both nights. It seems that on this site cars are parked in this location and seasonal guests use trolleys to ferry their possessions to their allocated caravans. There are other MH pitches available and if we were to return we would avoid those adjacent to the courts. The site is located nicely for the town of Grandson where we caught the train to Lausanne. We had a lovely day out there and visited both the town and the marina on lake Leman. Site facilities were nice and clean, showers on 4 minute timer, with a stop start button. This was more than enough time for a good shower. Washing up facilities were good, with plenty of worktop and hot water. Grey waste drop and water were close to the entrance and involve a 5 CHF fee for the waste drop. Black drop was in the shower block in its own room, which was clean and tidy. There was a nice little shop with a concise range of items, open at certain times. We did not get to try the site restaurant, which is apparently well regarded. Overall a nice little site to stop at by lake Neuchatel, just choose your pitch carefully.

Local attractions

The town of Grandson should be your first visit – the town centre is a lovely 15-minute lakeside walk away and home to the medieval Château de Grandson, the second-largest castle in Switzerland. Heading in the other direction, Yverdon-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive/45 minutes' walk) is another lovely town with a castle, the fashion-themed Espace Robert Piguet-Musée suisse de la Mode and the science fiction museum Maison d’Ailleurs as well as the thermal baths that gave the town its name. For other days out, you may like to hit the track at Karting Vuiteboeuf (10 minutes' drive), hike through the Covatannaz Gorges (10 minutes) or go underground at Vallorbe Caves (half an hour). An hour's hike to the top of Le Chasseron (half an hour) gives gorgeous views over the lake; for something more family friendly try the nature trails at Forêvasion (15 minutes), designed by kids for kids.
