from 6 reviews Write review

The vast campsite Le Chenantier is located between the Alps of the mountainous Savoy, all the way to the east of France. This small-scale campsite is situated in the midst of the rugged nature of Valoise National Park and is an ideal holiday destination for mountain hikers and cyclists. Without too many facilities and with spacious pitches, this is a simple but comfortable campsite.

Mountain views

Almost fifty pitches are scattered across the green campsite, which, with its open character and extensive lawns, breathes spaciousness. The terrain is rugged and the pitches are situated on different terraces. Many of the pitches are sunny and are located in the open field.On the edge of the forest, pines will give you shade. Shady or not, all pitches are spacious and from every spot on the campsite you have the same beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The rental accommodation on the campsite is special: a teepee, yurt (a traditional round tent) or log cabin, built with tree trunks.

Campsite for mountaineers

Whether you bring your mountain bike, racing bike or hiking boots, you are in the right place as a mountaineer at this campsite. The whole camping season you will find lovers of the high mountains here. Campers of various nationalities find their way to the campsite and its surrounding Alps.

Valoise National Park

Alpine meadows, over a thousand different flowers and plants, many special animal species: Valoise National Park is a paradise for nature lovers. Hikers and mountaineers in particular will appreciate it here. You can spot all kinds of animals: ibexes, chamois and golden eagles show up regularly, provided you don't make too much noise.

Wij waren van plan om vier nachten te blijven. Het werden er 14. Het is een rustige,fijne camping met een mooi uitzicht op de bergen. Een prima uitvalsbasis voor wandelingen in de omgeving.De eigenaar is zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Aangename camping, vriendelijk personeel, propere sanitair, goed babybad. Teleurgesteld in ontbijtkoeken, hadden gehoopt op typische Franse croissant.
Speelpleintje overdag in volle zon. Meer aan overkant van camping, zwemmen helaas niet toegestaan, wel met voeten erin, ook betalende watersportactiviteiten.

Hele fijne kleine camping met prachtige terrasplekken. Uitzicht vanaf de campingplek is geweldig. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk en wil op allerlei manieren helpen als je dit wenst. vanuit de camping zijn er vele mogelijkheden om te wandelen. Zowel op lager als hoger gelegen gebieden in de bergen. Ook mogelijk om te mountainbiken. Handig is de Intermache op 5 minuten lopen vanaf de camping. En de prijs per nacht is weinig. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Wij zullen hier zeker nog eens terugkomen.

Heerlijke, schone, kleine camping in de Franse Alpen. Ontzettend vrolijke, vriendelijke eigenaar die met liefde zijn camping onderhoudt en volop meedenkt en leuke, nuttige tips geeft.
Nogmaals dank daarvoor Florent!
