Camping de Lyon

Our second time staying. We stop in our own tourer for one night while heading South. The campsite does its job. The pitches are tight and same though. This time we found a second toilet block. Didn’t use the pool or have pizza. We go out to eat.

Great site and fab location for Lyon which is nowy favourite city in France. Amazing for families as lots to do for children, reception staff very friendly. My only gripe is it needs a little bit of tlc. Enormous Auchan nearby and bus to Lyon stops right outside.

We only stayed for one night as it was an overnight stop for us to progress to our next site. When we arrived we discovered that the enterance was not adequete for the amount of cars and carvans ariving, pitch was small so there was difficulty getting the caravan onto the pitch, tried to locate a toilet block and realised there was only one situated under the reception and due to the size of the campsite it is not ideal to only have one toilet block, there is no shop except from if you want condiments or wine, and the pool is quite small but isnt a serious issue, the restaraunt only sells pizza and so we went to one of the nearby resteraunts outside the site itself. But one good thing was that the recption was nice and they explained the site in a nice manor. Overall i wouldnt stay here for more than one night.

Very nice camping site. Highly recommendable. Easy access to public transportation to Lyon. Very clean and new facilities. Cleaning of toilets etc several times a day. Laundry is also new and clean. The pool area is very great for kids. The common building is also bright and welcoming.

Not recommended! First of all: be aware that there were COAKROACHES in the accommodation. Cockroaches are never alone. We left immediately (on the first night). We paid for three nights, in total 480 euro. Called the next day and asked for refund, at least for one night. We got nothing back. The manager said that they would have a look if there is one and come to a solution. And then: nope we give you nothing. They say that we should have come to them. But, we found out around 22:30. Reception was closed. And we knew that there was no other accommodation available in coming days (asked it earlier when we arrived). And chances are big that other accommodations also have cockroaches. So very very very disappointing and unfair. Secondly: the pictures are not telling the truth about the accommodations. There are no pictures from the inside, that is for a reason. The interior looks like 50 years old. Poor matrassen and pillows you can’t really see as pillows. Everything is old. There is NO airconditioning. Very hot inside. In the woods so you can’t really leave the windows open. And yep there is also no insect screen, while there are insects everywhere. Near highway, not a nice environment.

Process driven camp-site. Should be much more organised to provide information to visitors eg local eateries on Sunday night. Not appropriate to imply a guest is stupid at not understanding how to exit site. If working with visitors important to understand it can be very hard work for visitors especially if foreign and trying hard. My message to the sweeties at reception - given you have probably never been to the other side of Lyon don't bother coming to Australia.
