Camping Domaine de l'Epinette ^★★★

The campsite is really good compared to others around the region. The plot of land was big enough and we were well situated. Well that is what we thought until the last day. There was an overflow pipe from the swimming pool, we don't know what happened but a tap was left open causing the overflow pipe... to empty slowly the pool by one of our tents. Not once in the day, but twice! We had too move a tent because everywhere was soaked. The toilets and washing area were ok, though water pressure could be better when many people using the blocks. The swimming pool was fine too - a few broken paving stones, and the foot wash could have the water changed a bit more frequently, because it did get mucky. We spent time swimming in the river at the bottom of the camp site and that was fantastic. Overall, if the maintenance guys hadn't flooded our plot of land, I'd give a 4. And to be honest, if they fix a few things, and there isn't much to do - I'd give a 5.

We loved this campsite and stayed for a full week. We had blisteringly hot weather which certainly helped. The site is the perfect mixture of relaxed rural camping coupled with nicely maintained services and on-site entertainment - everything is a little but tired but the site's overall appeal didn't... suffer at all. A beautiful pool in the nicest setting I have ever seen on a French campsite - overlooking and surrounded by the Jura forest. Table tennis tables under an impressive sun canopy and six boules courts. Staff are friendly and helpful - they even booked the vet visit for our pooch for the return to the UK. Order croissants and bread for collection the next day. And take a canoe trip down the river Ain - all organised on-site. They drive you 12 km up river and you wend your way back at your own pace. Our two boys (10 and 7) loved it and so did our poodle! The river is simply stunning. Crystal clear, teeming with fish and beautifully clean and fresh to swim in. Having a pitch right on the bank we had our morning coffee watching the sun rise over the river every day. We had a brilliant time at L'Epinette and would recommend it highly. p.s. wifi is simply awful, but we didn't care - we were on holiday!

An appalling smell in the shower block, coupled with an ageing infrastructure (leaky washing up taps, push taps that only deliver water for 2 seconds then stop etc.) make of this otherwise pleasant camp site a below par place to stay. Impossible to wash up without ending up soaked from head to toe. Clearly... they can't be bothered to maintain their equipment properly.

Our tent pitch was not flat anywhere which means we slept badly for the duration of our stay.
The internet connection is a joke. Was never able to even consult my email.

Nice warm swimming pool, pleasant staff, shop fine. Beautiful area, Lac de Chalain nearby is lovely.

Très déçue. Tout d'abord à l'arrivée, l'accueil n'est pas très chaleureux mais cela est vite oublié en arrivant à notre chalet, le logement est hyper qualitatif...en apparence. Pas d'eau chaude à notre arrivée et cela a pris 2 jours avant que cela soit rétabli, cela peut arriver mais le minimum... eut été de nous présenter des excuses mais rien. Sinon, la pression d'eau est très très faible. Dommage quand on propose une jolie douche spacieuse. Les poêles et casseroles sont hors d'usage. À part cela, le cadre est très agréable et le camping est très calme. L'espace aquatique est bien pour les enfants grâce aux toboggan mais cela manque d'entretien. En résumé, nous reviendrons dans le Jura mais pas dans ce camping : Le site vend du rêve qui n'est pas au rendez vous à l'arrivée.
