Nestled in a fruit-tree-filled field, this small-scale campsite offers a charming, family-run atmosphere that prioritizes warm hospitality over modern polish. The owners are consistently praised for their friendliness and hard work, creating a welcoming environment that makes guests feel at home. Pitches are spacious with options for sun or shade, though the larger ones cost a little extra and vehicles remain visible across the site. A road runs directly alongside, bringing persistent traffic noise that some find bothersome at first but eventually fades into the background; air traffic from Sion airport adds to the soundscape. The sanitary facilities are clean but painfully outdated, with a distinctly 1970s feel and an improvised appearance that calls for renovation. The small swimming pool with a slide has drawn mixed reviews—sometimes described as tiny and dirty—and the playground keeps children happy, though the site is generally not recommended for kids. An on-site restaurant has been permanently closed for years, and the nearby bus stop no longer operates, requiring a 15-minute walk to the nearest village for supplies. A bread service and a limited shop sell basic groceries, pizza, fries, and ice cream at reasonable Swiss prices. The site is quiet in nature, but the road noise and lack of a noise barrier keep it from being perfect. Overall, this is a straightforward, practical base for exploring Sion and Europe's largest underground lake; dated washrooms and traffic sounds are the main trade-offs for the affordable rates and genuine personal touch.
