In the middle of the countryside in the French department of Rhône lies Camping Le Lac des Sapins. It is less than one kilometre to the city centre of Cublize and an hour’s drive to Lyon. Those who love to swim can enjoy themselves in Europe’s largest ecological swimming pool right next to the campsite.

For all campsite visitors

Those who love traditional camping will be in their element at this campsite. There are 181 clearly defined spacious pitches for caravans, tents and motorhomes. But for those who appreciate their comforts while camping can also find an accommodation here. For example, there are mobile homes, chalets and cabins for rent.

Europe’s largest ecological swimming pool

The campsite is only a stone’s throw away from the Lac des Sapins and Europe’s largest natural swimming pool is right next to this lake. You can go swimming here, go hiking on the trails around the lake, go cycling, pedal boating, stand up paddleboarding, sailing or even climb trees. A gate on the campsite leads you to a stream that will take you to the lake in just a few minutes.

Entertainment and activities

During its opening period, and in the summer season especially, Camping Le Lac des Sapins offers activities, services and entertainment for all ages. Their programme includes concerts, shows and many other fun things. You can also amuse yourselves at the playground, the tennis court, bowling alley and ping pong table.

Liked - Wij sliepen in de tent die je kan huren. Die is echt prima. Het meer is lekker en schoon. Op loopafstand en lekker kastelen bouwen. Vriendjes zijn snel gemaakt en het entertainment team is enthousiast.
Disliked - Het is allemaal wat verouderd maar je ziet een wederopbouw gaande. Bed is echt keihard!

Liked - We really enjoyed out 4-night stay at this campsite. It was a great base to explore the Beaujolais Mountains in the car and also on our bikes (some of the hill were really steep!). The facilities were excellent (clean toilets and showers and washing up facilities) and the staff were very helpful at all times.
Disliked - Signage to the site could be better. First, our SatNav wanted to take us into the entrance to the actual lake complex and then it wanted us to take a right turn that would have been impossible towing a caravan (and we have a AVTEX Tourer SatNav!). The showers are lukewarm and could have been a bit hotter.

Travelling party: Group of friends

Liked - 8 jours debut juin quand il n'y a personne: 6 jours de tondeuse et taille haie, interdiction de rentrer 2 voitures même en étant en tente et sous la pluie (pour eviter les abus), et un accueil desagrable. Pour le reste, le camping et les environs sont magnifiques. C'est la 6 ème années que nous venont, ce sera la dernière. Les residents, qui partent les uns apres les autres, nous ont confirmé que le seul objectif est de faire du fric. Nous avons même été menacé par le mari de la receptionniste pour lui avoir manqué de respect (on a insisté pour la voiture arguant qu'il ny avait personne)
Disliked - Arrêter de ne penser qu'aux bénéfices!
Trop de bruit: prenez une equipe de jardinage et faites cela en une journée !
