Very nicely located place in the middle of nature. You can quickly reach Chamonix by train, bus or in 10 minutes by bike. Bread roll service available and the staff was super friendly :-) We will definitely come back.

Camping with a Mountain View in the Heart of Nature.

Wonderful and tranquil campsite located in the forest with views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The pitches are separated by hedges and trees, providing some privacy. Sanitary facilities are older but clean. Every evening, a food truck comes with food offerings, and no pre-ordering is necessary. Perfect starting point for hiking. Additionally, it's only 30 minutes on foot along the river to the charming and cozy center of Chamonix - of course, even faster by bus. Also well-suited for camping with a dog.

very nice place, committed operators, friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities are a bit dated but very well maintained. We came for one night and stayed another because we liked it. With the guest card, you can use the Mont-Blanc Express (narrow-gauge railway through the valley) for free. Highly recommended to combine with hikes.

a nice, I would say retro campground that fulfills all wishes. Ideal for an active vacation. Directly near the city center of Chamonix, about 2km. The sanitary facilities are not the newest, but clean. The campground is a bit tight in terms of the plots, but one can always find a spot for a tent and a car. A reservation in advance is not possible; you come, find a spot, and that's it.
