Nestled in the heart of the Vosges, this campsite offers a stunning natural setting right by a pristine lake, making it a prime destination for swimming, fishing, and water sports. The spacious, well-laid-out pitches provide ample room for RVs, tents, and motorcycles, while the surrounding area is a haven for hikers, mountain bikers, and motorcyclists exploring the Route des Crêtes and the Col de la Schlucht. The nearby town of Gérardmer, known for its weaving heritage and gastronomic traditions, adds a cozy cultural touch. Visitors consistently praise the generous pitch sizes and the verdant surroundings that invite numerous walks and outdoor activities. The lake’s clear, refreshing water is ideal for a dip, though it can be cool. The campsite’s quiet, peaceful ambiance is a highlight for many, creating a relaxing base for active travelers. However, the sanitary facilities are a recurring weak point, often described as dated, dirty, and poorly maintained, with a notable lack of soap at hand wash basins. The on-site snack bar has been reported to close early even when the site is full, and in some years, it was closed entirely, limiting dining options. Guests may also face noise disruptions late into the night from groups playing music, as quiet hours are not enforced. The staff are consistently friendly and make a positive impression, yet the tired amenities and restricted services detract from the experience. There is no swimming pool, but the lake itself serves as a sufficient and clean bathing option. While the campsite offers good value for money and a tranquil setting for many, the cleanliness and maintenance of washrooms remain significant drawbacks. Overall, it’s a mixed destination where excellent natural beauty and staff hospitality are let down by aging facilities and inconsistent services. Visitors returning year after year are drawn by the generous pitches and lake access, but those seeking modern convenience or uninterrupted sleep should take note. The campsite is best suited for active travelers who prioritize outdoor recreation over on-site amenities.
