from 10 reviews Write review

Le Grand Calme campsite is located partially under a lush canopy of deciduous trees, at the foot of various mountain peaks, including the famous Alpe d’Huez. The Verney lake is close by. This is the ideal campsite for fans of mountain sport, cyclists and mountain bikers, who love the rugged nature of the high mountains.

The campsite, run by two friendly and helpful brothers, is situated along the through road towards the Col de la Croix-de-Fer, on the main street of the quiet village of Le Bourg-d’Oisans.

Camping on a green alpine meadow

Upon arrival the campsite looks like a spacious and fresh alpine meadow with beautiful, large deciduous trees, surrounded by beautiful wooded mountain scenery. The demarcated pitches with plenty of privacy are spread over the grounds on a beautiful lawn. There is partial shade thanks to the (medium)tall leafy trees. A shallow stream runs through the site. Mobile homes and bungalows can be hired.

Trip around Lake Verney

You can find a lovely swimming pool within walking distance (around four hundred metres). Lake Verney is also close by. You can make a splendid cycling trip around it. On the way there are several picnic tables to catch your breath and have something tasty to eat.

Everything within walking distance

When you are happy but exhausted after a day in the mountains, you can have a pizza on the campsite. A bakery, a small supermarket and a few restaurants can be found within walking distance in the village.

Trendy sanitary facilities

The sanitary facilities were totally renewed in the summer of 2017, with a modern and trendy look. It is also kept clean.

We hadden vooraf weinig verwachtingen van deze camping omdat de prijs zo laag was in vergelijking met andere (volgeboekte) campings in de directe omgeving. Maar we werden blij verrast. Deze camping is inderdaad heerlijk rustig en de plekken zijn enorm ruim. Toen de camping vol stond kon er naar ons idee nog wel het dubbele bij. Maar dat geeft deze camping dus een enorme luxe en comfort. Het sanitair is prima in orde. Zeer schoon en comfortabel. Aparte ruimte voor wc's en douches. Alleen de knop waarmee je het water bedient kost wel heel veel kracht in de bediening. Dat maakt het net wat minder comfortabel. De eigenaars zijn bijzonder vriendelijk en relaxed. We komen zeker terug!

Zalige camping waar rust en natuur centraal staan. Grote staplaatsen zonder afscherming of heg met zo goed als overal zicht op de omliggende bergen. Sanitair zeer degelijk en goed onderhouden. Ideaal voor uitstapjes of fietsvakantie. Bakker en kruidenier in dorp, grotere winkels bereikbaar per auto. Zeer vriendelijke uitbaters. Zeer gemoedelijke sfeer op de camping, voor wie rust en stilte verkiest.

Goede camping met zeer schone sanitaire voorzieningen. In dorp is verder weinig te doen maar er is wel een kleine supermarkt en bakkerij aanwezig.
