Nestled in the vine-covered hills of Forel (VD), this campsite boasts a beautiful setting with well-maintained grass areas and serves as a tidy, convenient base for exploring the Lavaux region, Montreux, and Lausanne. The facilities, while not brand new, are kept very clean, and a recent change in management has introduced a positive shift, with the new manager’s warm smile lifting spirits even on rainy days. However, despite these strengths, the site feels somewhat lifeless and lacking in energy, hinting at untapped potential to become truly superb. In stark contrast, recent feedback from 2022 paints a troubling picture of an entirely different experience under different leadership. Guests repeatedly describe the current management as arrogant, dishonest, and aggressive, with complaints of unpredictable pricing, refusal to provide written confirmations or receipts, and even double-charging. The welcoming atmosphere that existed before 2018, under the owner’s son, has completely vanished. While the physical grounds are occasionally noted as pleasant, this positive aspect is overshadowed by severe dissatisfaction with the reception and overall experience. Many reviewers warn of a scam operation, with some needing legal protection agencies to resolve disputes. The consensus is that the natural setting cannot compensate for the hostile and untrustworthy treatment visitors receive from management. Consequently, guests strongly advise against staying here, despite the site’s scenic potential.
