from 654 reviews Write review

In southeast France, in the Écrins massif, lies the cosy family campsite of Camping Au Valbonheur. You camp here in a very natural environment, so it almost feels like you are camping in the wild. With swimming lake and private beach and sport opportunities. The camping is situated at the foot of the French Alps. From the highway it is approximately 45 minutes' drive through a green and mountainous region. You will be welcomed with a smile by the owners and employees. The proprietor has owned this campsite since 2015 and does his utmost to make this a real quality campsite.

Special camping between the trees

You will find spacious pitches for your caravan, camper or tent amidst trees, brooks and greenery. The generous pitches ensure a peaceful holiday. In addition, Camping Au Valbonheur offers very special accommodation to stay in. For instance, tepee tents, huts on stilts and igloo huts. You can also spend the night in a chalet or mobile home for a slightly more luxurious feel. This campsite is mainly frequented by families with young children.

Own beach

Camping Au Valbonheur is situated alongside a small lake with private beach with loungers for camping guests. This lake is suitable for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. On the beach you can have a game of volleyball. Children will love the soccer field and the inflatable bouncers.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - Nous avons séjourné à 2 reprises au Camping "Au Valbonheur" cet été. Une première fois 4 nuits (4 adultes) et une deuxième fois 2 nuits (2 adultes + 2 adolescents). Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil, l'écoute qui fait que tout est simple (solution de parking de notre véhicule, prêt de matériel et jeux), l'environnement (le lac, les cours d'eaux qui traversent le camping et apportent de la fraîcheur, les arbres qui donnent de l'ombre et abritent chouettes et écureuils) et enfin … le silence. Le mini-golf est un plus pour nos adolescents. Belles randonnées à faire dans la région.
Disliked - A regretter : très peu de restaurants autour du Camping. Quand nous y étions, seul le Restaurant du Camping était ouvert. La table de Babette (à Entraigues) était fermée.

Liked - L'accueil très sympathique, le Mobil home avec vue sur la montagne et bien ombragé, le lac avec plage du camping, les Jeux gonflables pour les enfants, la situation du camping proche de la réserve du lauvitel qui offre de magnifiques randonnées, possibilité de louer seulement 5 nuits (proche fin août ) , les petites rivières dans le camping. Nous avons passé un super séjour !
Disliked - Dommage qu'il n'y avait pas au minimum un dépôt de pain, et snack souvent fermé. Mais c'est négligeable face à tous les points positifs !

Een prachtige camping aan een heerlijk meer. Een van de fijnste campings waar we ooit zijn geweest. Helaas vonden we de omgeving wat beperkt. Weinig leuke stadjes of restaurants in de buurt.

Liked - la cadre, l'accueil
Disliked - le ménage est insuffisant, il pourrait y avoir plus de wc dans le bloc orange et des lavabos avec des paillasses.
Un dépot de pain serait une bonne idée.
