Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Campsite pitch was amazing right in the lakeside. Fireworks that evening on the lake.

Disliked Couldn’t swim in the lake from the campsite? Only one block of facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you very much for your nice feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your pitch right on the lakeside and the fireworks on the lake. 🌟
It’s true that swimming is not allowed directly from the campsite, but we provide free tickets to the beach, only a 5-minute walk away. As for the facilities, there is indeed only one block, but it is usually more than enough for the size of our small family campsite.

We hope to welcome you again at Lake Paladru!

Léonie et Valentin.

Annemarie p.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Lovely small site on a beautiful lake. Arrived in our VW crafter, stayed for two nights. We brought our own paddle boards. €9 to use the lake by scanning the QR code on the sign.

Disliked Toilets - unisex, common in France however, urine all over the toilet seat each time I visited the WC.
Would highly recommend having male and female toilets - a simple sign on the doors. I shouldn't have to clean urine from the seat.

From the manager: Hello Annemarie,

Thank you very much for your feedback and for your kind words about our campsite and its beautiful lakeside location! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and the activities on the lake.

We take note of your comment regarding the unisex toilets. We understand that it may have been inconvenient, and we do our best to encourage guests to keep them clean. Your feedback helps us consider possible improvements for everyone’s comfort.

We hope to welcome you back to Camping Le Calatrin!

Best regards,
Léonie & Valentin

Helen W.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Nothing
Showers and toilets weren’t clean. No toilet paper. Couldn’t even be bothered to show us to a pitch. Gave us some numbers to choose a pitch from and all but 1 were taken. Claims to have a shop, it does not. Has some ice cream, a few bottles of beer, and some jars with homemade items in. Be aware if you go on a Monday the local shop and restaurant is closed. Locals made it quite obvious they do not like foreigners.

Disliked Everything

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Helen,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. You stayed with us from August 11th to 12th, a period when the campsite was almost fully booked, which explains the limited choice of available pitches. Regarding local shops, it is true that Mondays in France are usually quieter since many of them are closed.

We are sorry that your one-night stay left you with a negative impression. Our facilities are cleaned several times a day, and most of our guests actually highlight their cleanliness, but we of course take your remarks into account in order to keep improving.

Our campsite is a small, family-run place, deliberately simple and friendly, which many people appreciate but may not match everyone’s expectations. As for the pitches, we prefer to let guests choose from those available rather than assigning them.

We still hope you keep good memories of your stay at Lake Paladru and that the rest of your trip in France went well.

Léonie et Valentin.

Local attractions

You won't need to go far from the site to find something to do – paddleboarding, canoeing and fishing are popular activities at the lake, there are several beach areas close by and you can take a nice walk along the Chemin des Marais (15 minutes’ walk). MALP - Musée archéologique du Lac de Paladru (five minutes' walk), showcasing the treasures found in and around the lake, is well worth a visit too. For more extensive walks, head into the Chartreuse Regional Natural Park for hilly landscapes or to Lac d’Aiguebelette for more lake views and the option to swim or paddleboard (both around half an hour’s drive). Parc Aventures Brunerie (20 minutes’ drive) makes a good outing for the kids, as does a day hitting the rides and waterpark at Walibi Rhône-Alpes (25 minutes). For a hit of history, Château de Virieu (10 minutes) is a lovely place to visit, whether you stroll through the grounds, take a castle tour or let the kids join in one of the fun activities. Further afield, Grenoble (40 minutes), Chambéry (45 minutes) and Lyon (an hour) all have plenty to keep all ages busy.
