The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Camping de la Lame in the Clarée Valley, beside the river. Natural campsite with limited electric hook-ups and token showers. Ideal base for hiking in the upper valley with free shuttles to Névache. No marked pitches, short walk to village and shops. Overcrowded in August with inadequate sanitary facilities during peak season. Grey water disposal closed since 2024; cassette emptying available.
Highlights
- Stunning riverside setting with exceptional hiking nearby
- Friendly welcome, free shuttles to Névache, reasonable rates
- Peace and quiet off-season, ideal for nature lovers
Good to know
- Crowded in August with insufficient sanitation and overcrowding
- Grey water disposal unavailable since 2024, poorly organized pitches
- Electricity is very limited, no hot water at the dishwashing areas, and the ground turns to mud in bad weather
Motorhome access : Unmarked grassy area with holes and slopes, tricky maneuvering for large motorhomes especially in peak season, risk of getting stuck in rain, restricted pedestrian access to high valley (shuttle mandatory after 9 AM)
