This cherished campsite at the foot of Alpe d'Huez has been drawing loyal guests back for decades, with its fantastic location and standout swimming pool earning consistent praise. Over the years, friendly and accommodating staff have repeatedly made stays enjoyable, even earning admiration from professional cyclist Laurens ten Dam, who visited with his family. The atmosphere encourages return visits, with a large group of friends highlighting the stunning setting and outstanding pool as major draws. Recent reviews celebrate the well-maintained, large, and deep swimming pool, which stays at a pleasant 27.5 degrees Celsius. Cleanliness of the pool and terrace area remains high, with simple yet well-prepared meals like crepes, burgers, and salads available. However, the campsite suffers from persistent maintenance issues that have lasted over a decade: outdated sanitary facilities, broken faucets, leaking pipes, and insufficient hot water for washing dishes. Pricing is frequently deemed excessively high, leading to a near-empty site even in late June and poor overall value for money. During busy periods like the Alpe d’HuZes event, the site can feel overcrowded with large groups of school volunteers, creating mess that staff sometimes fail to address. In quieter moments, the owner has been described as friendly and helpful, occasionally offering discounts even when not officially participating in programs. Road noise from motorized traffic ascending the mountain, especially motorcycles, can be a drawback. Despite these issues, the overall atmosphere remains friendly and relaxed, with guests eager to return year after year. The quiet hours after 11 PM are generally respected, contributing to a peaceful night's rest. Recent repair efforts, including fresh paint, show some improvement, but the core facilities still need a major update.
