Mooi gelegen naast rivier en omringd door bergen, vriendelijke eigenaresse, schoon sanitair, fijn restaurant op camping, sfeer.

Zwembad was wel erg klein en nodigde niet zo uit. Jammer dat er weinig gezinnen met tieners waren, terwijl de vele outdoor activiteiten juist voor tieners aansprekend zijn.

The owners are an extraordinarily kind, welcoming couple who truly go above and beyond—their service is way beyond 10/10! ​Since I don't speak French, the owner made a phone call on my behalf. When water entered our tent, they instantly offered to help. They trusted us without even knowing us, letting our young kids (ages 3 and 7) get bread and ice cream freely, and lending us an electric adapter straight away. The campsite is super peaceful and silent after 10 PM. It is very clean, It has a small lake with two paddle surfboards that our kids loved. The pizza is big, cheqp and great.

We couldn't leave the car next to our tent but parking outside after unloading is quick and convenient.

We had a good time in camping river. The view is beautiful and you can directly go to the river. The owners a awesome and very kind.

The toilets were to small and you have to bring your own toiletpaper. Everything is a little bit old and may needs an upgrade.

I stayed there for a few days of motorcycle touring in the Alps and enjoyed it very much. It is quiet, there is a bar and restaurant and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Also a big thank you for the friendly Belgian cleaning lady keep the "sanitaire" spotlessly clean.

Open the bar a little earlier than 18.30h
