The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small wild parking spot on a lake shore with Chartreuse mountain views. Access via northern entrance recommended (southern entrance restricted to 1.90 m height). Natural, minimally developed site suitable for swimming (May-September) and relaxation. Variable traffic: quiet in evening, very busy from 10am onwards. Municipal ban on camping and caravanning, often disregarded. No services on-site.
Highlights
- Stunning panoramic views of the mountains
- Direct access to the lake for swimming and relaxation
- Peaceful and wild, minimally developed setting
Good to know
- Municipal bylaw bans parking/camping but poorly enforced
- Tricky access: southern entrance is underestimated (1.90 m), northern entrance goes through the village
- Heavy daytime crowds and potential tensions (music, fires)
Motorhome access : Prefer the north entrance (via Pontcharra village); south entrance limited to 1.90m height. Parking possible right by the lake, easy maneuvers in a less developed area.
