Likte Picturesque scenery, option to have various pastries available to collect from reception in the mornings, the private shower and toilet on our pitch was a fantastic upgrade, looks newly built and was clean on arrival. Lots of pitches, and the cabins etc looked nice to stay in as well. Not too far from some stunning scenery and tourist destinations such as Geneva, Chamonix etc. One of few sites in the region that I could find that was offering a serviced pitch with water and electric on the pitch with a 16 amp supply. There is a Super U supermarket and fuel station not far from the site, which was a lifeline for us for our food shop.
Likte ikke Whilst the premium pitch we had booked offered us a private toilet and shower block, the block itself was adjacent to the pitch rather than on it, and required us to walk to it over a quite muddy path which wasn't ideal. The facilities inside were good, but looked new, and I'm not sure judging by the way the trailer had been converted to a private shower block if it will remain quite as nice a few years down the line.
For a premium pitch, really it should have been a gravel pitch rather than grass as I could see the whole pitch becoming very muddy after prolonged rain which thankfully we didn't have.
I had read reviews here of disinterested staff, and I found that they were perfectly pleasant, but maybe not particularly enthusiastic.
Wi-Fi was available, but only in the common areas so pretty pointless as these weren't really much of anything.
The area the site is situated in is a little strange. From the direction we first approached all we saw were the numerous car dealerships (like so many) and warehouses, it made the area feel very industrial, however heading in the opposite direction when departing was much more like the small town of Challes Les Eaux that we had been expecting.

Likte Generous pitch sizes, a swimming pool and bar/ restaurant on site, and is quite picturesque. I enjoyed watching the red squirrels darting around in the mornings, and the small collection of farmyard animals were pleasant to visit, especially the friendly donkey. Very pretty sunsets to be seen from the highest corner of the site
Likte ikke Was greeted shortly after arrival, (after doing a little looking around for someone as the main reception was closed) and was told to find a pitch and then come back to reception to sort out remaining payment, site rules etc. the usual. Reception was closed however, and we couldn't find anyone again for a few hours after arrival despite looking, when we did we were made to feel a little guilty for booking through pitchup instead of directly (wouldn't have found the site if we hadn't used pitchup!) Otherwise polite and informative.
The site is pretty, but definitely in need of some refurbishment, which the bar/ restaurant appeared to be undergoing, rendering it out of use for our stay which wasn't mentioned prior to booking. The main pool was advertised as being open till the 15th September (we arrived on the 5th) but was drained and looking a little depressing, however a smaller pool was available, although I'm not sure how we were supposed to get to it as it looked like the whole area was closed off.
The site has things to do such as mini-golf, but the courses looked like they hadn't been used in years and was overgrown. This was kind of the vibe for the entire site. walkways were overgrown and tiles/ etc were left about the place (particularly nearer the restaurant area). The whole place just felt a little run-down. I got the vibe that it had been closed completely for the season and we had just pitched up while it was undergoing renovation, despite the fact that nothing really seemed to be happening.
communal bathroom was clean, not TOO dated and functional, but nothing to write home about, as seems to be indicative of the site overall, the main outside door wouldn't shut fully.
There is a local town/ supermarket not too far away, but that's about it. The whole area is a bit of a dead-zone.
I wasn't massively impressed by the facilities or location of the site, but as a stopover for a couple of nights, it was fine. It certainly could be beautiful, but it needs a lot of investment to make it look a little less run-down.
