from 4 reviews Write review

The campsite Lac de Serre-Ponçon is located in St-Vincent-les-Forts (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), a village on the Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This is the largest reservoir in Europe. So fun in the water is guaranteed. Various sports facilities, a restaurant, a shop and well-tended sanitation facilities are just some of the facilities that will make your stay comfortable and pleasant.

Camping with a view

On the campsite you will find nearly 200 campsites. You are on a large, extensive campsite open from the middle of May through the middle of September. The most beautiful pitches have a view of the lake. Don't have your own camping equipment? There are lodge tents, bungalows and mobile homes available.

Entertainment and amenities

You can enjoy many sporting activities on the campsite. Play a round of jeu de boules or volleyball, discover the playground and participate in the activities provided by the entertainment team (great for kids of all ages). In the high season, there is a music evening once a week. So, hit that dance floor!

If you're a bit peckish, visit the restaurant (with terrace). Here you can dine with a view of the lake. There is also a pizzeria. The offering in the camping shop is limited, but there is a larger supermarket (Proxi) about 20 minutes away by car, where you'll find what you need.

Endless water fun

Next to the campsite there is Parc Aquasplash, great for children and adults. In the water there are all types of colourful play equipment. Slide, jump and plunge; a day of fun in the water is guaranteed here. You can also swim and surf, naturally. There is no sandy beach, but a section with pebbles and a concrete slab. On the camping property itself there is a swimming pool filled with salt water.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

We stonden met onze tent op een terrassen-helling met weinig begroeiing en daarom extreem warm. De weg langs onze tent was een rijroute, en autos reden vrij hard, 10cm langs onze tent, dit was onveilig voor onze zoon (4jaar) en maakt het ook niet een gezellige plek om te staan en contacten te leggen.
De toiletten waren gedeeld (m/v), te weinig en werden slechts 2x pd schoongemaakt waardoor het erg stonk. Aanvoerweg van en naar de camping was regelmatig geblokkeerd door verkeer van het publieksstrand waardoor gevaarlijke situaties ontstonden. Huttopia zelf lijkt er niet veel aan te willen doen, ook gezien eerdere beoordelingen die nog steeds actueel zijn. Weergave op de website van Huttopia geeft de situatie (voor het kampeerterrein) niet goed weer. Voor mijn zoon van net 4 was dit een eenzame camping met weinig contactmomenten met andere kindjes

Camping is overgenomen door Huttopia en daarom door ons geboekt. Echter haalt de camping het Huttopia niveau totaal niet. een kleine opsomming;
-te weinig en vooral smerige toiletten. we hebben regelmatig in de rij moeten wachten. Toiletten worden slechts één maal per dag gereinigd.
-zwembad te klein voor de camping en daardoor smerig. Het water is troebel en er dreven zelfs stukjes toiletpapier in. het zwembad is afgewerkt met houten betimmering. Nat wordt dit hout spekglad. verschillende kinderen zien vallen.
-weinig tot geen schaduw op de plekken.
-De giertank werkt niet goed, waardoor een groot deel van de camping regelmatig naar poep ruikt.
-veel lawaai in de nacht van dronken campinggasten. er is geen nachtwaker aanwezig.
-slordig aangelegd terrein

buitengewoon jammer; want de camping is prachtig gelegen met schitterend zicht op de bergen en het meer.
