Camping du Lac de Carouge

Likte Lovely family campsite with good facilities and a nice little snack bar serving cold beer. Pitches are big with plenty of room for a few tents and a lot of them are shaded by trees.
The lake is a few hundred meters away and is nice and cool on a hot day with a lovely restaurant serving good food.
Lots of activities for the kids and the owners are lovely. They even got up at 3am to let me out the gate so I could get to the start of my race.
The local area is absolutely stunning with some incredible mountains. Great for cycling, hiking and trail running. I will be back with the family for sure.

Likte ikke You could hear the main road on a couple of nights but otherwise very quiet

Likte The surroundings are a nature lovers delight. Beautiful sunsets around the mountains surrounding the lake. The sanitation buildings are adequate and well maintained. Most of the other pitches looked grassy and were surrounded by neat hedges and some trees. A walk around the lake is an absolute must. The cafe looked good all though I didn’t need it.

Likte ikke The pitch i was allocated was dire. A patch of earth right next to the sanitation block. I was told it was the last one left, and it was very busy due to Tour de France. However when I asked why better plots were allocated to guests who arrived after me , I was told that’s because they booked directly with the campsite and not pitchup. Apparently pitchup offered a ‘privilege’ at only a few more euros that I should have realised was the best option tomguaranntee a grassy pitch, and that I should have stated a preference not to be allocated a camp next to the WCs!!! I did offer to pay for an upgrade but was refused. Apparently the fee that Pitchup charges per booking means that my custom was not as worthy as those who booked direct with the campsite. I felt quite humiliated but had to accept the situation because my payment had been taken. I would have been better off parking up in the car parking area by the lake for free. I would advise anyone booking to go for the privilege option. It wasn’t clear on WhatsApp site what this was for, as all the photos are the same, but now I know and won’t ever return due to the attitude of the owner.

Likte Cleanliness of toilet block

Likte ikke State of the site and the pitches had just been scraped level and little grass. Hedge cuttings left in piles on pitch to rot.

Likte Spacious pitches with privacy. Great proximity to the lake and lakeside bar/restaurant . Walked all around lake and had a swim. Beautiful view of the nearby mountains whilst swimming. Didn’t use facilities on our one night stop but hubby said ok but basic. Peaceful site with bird song. Can hear train but not a problem for us. Great base before the Frejus tunnel next day.

Likte ikke Grounds appeared a little unkempt, but we did see someone doing a great job of cutting the hedges back so maybe if we’d arrived a day or two later, impression could be different.

Likte Great site with all the facilities you need. It’s quite close to a road/railway line so there’s some noise from that, but it’s also right by a lovely lake so overall a good location.
