from 3 reviews Write review

Camping Les Rives du Lac is a family campsite in the western part of the Alps. Here, the Provence is dominated by the mountains, making it a paradise for walkers and cyclists. The campsite is in a valley, on the banks of a recreational lake. There is also an heated indoor swimming pool.

Welcome!

You will find the campsite just south of Veynes. Drive over the undulating surface of the D994 and you will come across a campsite sign. The campsite has touring pitches and rents new chalets. With such a chalet, you get the luxury of your own barbecue and a private hot tub. The general toilet and washing facilities are also luxurious and well-maintained, and environmentally friendly, with solar panels.

Walking and swimming

Dutch families are in the majority at Les Rives du Lac. Day trips are organised from the campsite: a guide will tell you all about the flora and fauna in the mountains. The part of the recreational lake, where the campsite is situated, is all about swimmers. So you will not encounter any sailing boats in 'your' swimming water. In less favourable weather, you can go the campsite's indoor swimming pool. It's not massive but it is lovely swimming in the heated water.

Veynes and Gap

There are two restaurants by the lake, one belonging to the campsite. For more choice, you can go to the centre of Veynes, which is a five-minute drive. You can take a fun 30-kilometre cycle ride to the lovely town of Gap, with its old cathedral and many shops and restaurants.

Travelling party: Couple

een camping om elk jaar terug te komen, met grote plaatsen, veel groen, terras aan het meer en een keuken met heerlijke, o.m. vietnamese gerechten. Weer eens wat anders dan de eeuwige obligate toeristenhap van hamburger en pizza. De vriendelijkste service in receptie en restaurant.

Travelling party: Seniors

Eind juni 2023 hebben wij 6 dagen op Les Rives du Lac verbleven. De omgeving is schitterend met mooie mogelijkheden om rond te toeren. Wij gaan nog eens terug naar deze plaats.
Het restaurant op de camping hebben wij niet bezocht. De kaart wel uitgebreid bekeken. De uitbater is van Oosterse komaf en de gerechten zijn voor ons te sterk gekruid.
Laat u niet foppen in het Franse restaurant aan het meer. Op het buitenterras wordt u meestal aan de zijkant gezet. Het middendeel blijft veelal gereserveerd voor Fransen die niet komen, of alleen een goedkope pizza eten. Wij aten de duurste gerechten op de kaart maar daar heeft de uitbater lak aan. Ik spreek vrij aardig frans maar aan mijn opbouwende kritiek had men het lak. Het eten was wel van prima kwaliteit. Ik was hiervoor al gewaarschuwd.
Dus eten prima. Ambiance wat minder.
