from 3 reviews Write review

The cosy terrace campsite Camping Paradis Les Gorges du Haut Bugey is located on the shores of the lake of Samognat, in the green foothills of the Jura mountains (Ain Departement). The spacious pitches on grass are separated from each other by hedges and accessible via sloping paths. The exquisite vista over the reservoir and the hills is striking, and you have a view higher up of the swimming pool with toddler's pool and Jacuzzi.

View of the lake

The pitches at Camping Paradis Les Gorges du Haut Bugey are laid out on terraces so you will have a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding green hills. To provide you with the privacy you need, the pitches, which always offer some shade, are demarcated with hedges. Some pitches are located along the lake and are completely free to choose from.

Luxury accommodation

Two well-maintained sanitary blocks offer showers, toilets, lavatories, a bathroom for babies and a lavatory for handicapped persons. For campers without their own tent or caravan, there are wooden chalets and mobile homes for rent, both with their own sanitary facilities and covered veranda.

Active holiday

Young and old alike will enjoy themselves at the water park, featuring a large heated swimming pool, a heated play pool with water spouts, a rapids run and a paddling pool (for toddlers only). Thanks to the location, you will have a magnificent view of the upper part of the grounds, right from your lounger.

Sports lovers can play to their heart's content at the football and volleyball pitch or work on their table tennis or jeu de boules skills. Fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines on the banks of the lake. In the evening during high season, the whole family can get together at theme nights (including dance and karaoke).

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Mooi gelegen camping met veel potentie. Helaas lijkt het jonge personeel zich hier niet bewust van te zijn; de focus lijkt te liggen op het verzorgen van alle animatie voor de Franse jeugd, terwijl veel mensen juist voor een relaxte kampeertijd komen. Het entertainment is met luid geroep door microfoon en de muziek staat loeihard tot laat in de avond. De focus zou volgens ons moeten liggen op het goed en regelmatig schoonmaken van al het sanitair. Het is te vies voor woorden.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Read well, this camping comes with big warning.
The surroundings are beautiful. Lake is right beside the camping site. Unfortunately during our stay it was unusable due to blue-green algae. Pool is nice, clean and fun.

Then, the camping itself.
We did not know that this camping is a spinoff of a french TV series. Franchise. It\'s supposed to be all fun and games from morning till night. They are 100% focused on their French guests because these people appearantly know the concept. A lot of entertainment for the French. The other (German, Dutch, UK) are strangly not included - first of all because everything is in French. They don\'t seem to care about the other half of their clients. It\'s all about the look and feel of the TV series Camping Paradis. During the day they have football, yoga, petanque etc and childrens\' occupation - but all in French. Biggest downside is the party-look & feel they take from the TV series.

Including VERY loud musical events at night, until 23h and on friday disco even up to 00h. Incredibly loud sound, which made us and our neighbours very upset as the camping has many families with small children.- many of who were unable to sleep in because of the terrorising noise.

Second: I wonder how their personal bathrooms and toilets look like, because 90% of the time it was filthy. Second part of our holidays: no toilet paper.

Lots of families with dogs so you have to deal with that. Not every owner cleans up after their pet and some tend to bark a lot.

Because of the theme (\"Camping Paradis) it attracts a certain type of French guests - other nationalities are unaware of the entertaining culture.

I had a massive argument with the management and staff because of the noise and they called the Gendarmerie on me. So there you go for friendlyness and value for money. The lack of customer service is shocking.

They have a superb location, so it is a mystery to me why they don\'t invest in the quality of the venue. Instead of entertaining, spent half of that time on maintenance and cleaning. Most of the clothes hooks in the showers are broken, toilets leak and floors are dirty almost 24/7.

If they clean up their act, it could be a great place. But for us - never again.

Travelling party: Family with children <4 years

Net terug van een ruime 1,5 week op deze camping. Prima vertoeven zeg ik je!
+: zeer hygiënische camping waar 3x per dag gepoetst wordt (vraag is wel of dit ivm Corona gebeurd, of standaard voor hun is).
-: eigenlijk nauwelijks minpunten te noemen en die er dan waren hadden enkel en alleen met Corona-omstandigheden te maken (bijv. geen bedjes om het zwembad of vers brood vanuit de camping geregel). Om er dan toch nog eentje te noemen... weinig keuze qua eetgelegenheden in de directe omgeving (NOTE: hetgeen je van te voren wel kunt inschatten, gezien de omgeving).
