About this camp

Camping Les Rives Du Lac is a campsite in Veynes, France. Stands out for well-kept, welcoming staff and lively animation. The recurring trade-off guests flag: split layout with old and new sections separated by a road; pool/water park is public (not exclusive to guests). Best suited to families.

The character of this place

The campsite has a distinctly family-friendly and social atmosphere, with children's facilities and activities (football cage, table tennis, swimming pool) fostering enjoyment and camaraderie among young guests. However, the staff's approach to guest interaction appears less warm than the pleasant natural setting and recreational opportunities might suggest, creating a slight tension between the welcoming environment and the personal welcome guests receive.

The pitch

Electrical hookup available (10-16A), euro plug required. Terrain is flat. Motorhomes accepted up to 8m, large caravans accepted. Pitch connections: water, drainage, sewer. Camper waste disposal on site. Pitches are well shaded. Pitches are marked. Paths lit at night. Guests describe gravel surface; Pitches are well separated with good privacy.

Pitches are generally spacious and well-shaded, with enough room for awnings and vehicles at most locations. However, there's a notable trade-off: while many pitches are roomy, they vary significantly in size, and those suited to large motorhomes and caravan combinations are limited—some guests with longer rigs found the space inadequate. Terrain unevenness on certain pitches is also worth checking when choosing your spot.

The location

Campsite set in lakeside and mountain area. Supermarket in the area. Restaurant within 100m. Well suited for: fishing. Certifications and labels: Eco-friendly management, Camping Qualite, 4 stars. Reception languages: English, German, French. Guests describe the campsite as on the edge of a lake.

Rental units & mobile homes

The rental units are adequately equipped and well-insulated, with several guests appreciating the amenities and outdoor features like terraces and hammocks. However, a notable trade-off emerges: while the chalets offer good thermal insulation, this creates a cold interior environment with no heating provision, making them uncomfortable in cooler weather. Furnishings and layout appear functional rather than exceptional for the price point.

Also worth knowing

Staff at arrival are noted across multiple language accounts as friendly and helpful, with active assistance available for bookings and queries. The reception team is multilingual, which supports clarity during check-in. The good band aligns with the positive tone toward the arrival experience, though public comments do not detail specific waiting times or flexibility on check-in/out procedures.

The campsite demonstrates tangible eco-friendly commitment through solar panel infrastructure for parking and vehicle-free design across pitches, which multiple visitors highlighted as a well-thought-out approach. Water and sanitation facilities are noted as clean and functional within this broader ecological framework. The car-free layout and provision of baggage trolleys for shopping reinforce the sustainability effort, though evidence of specific recycling or water-conservation practices is limited in the available feedback.
