The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
GCU camping on the banks of Serre-Ponçon lake, primarily for members. One-night stay possible at €40. Basic amenities (showers, electricity, water). Overgrown grass, distant and poorly maintained facilities reported by visitors. Noise nuisance at night. Access feasible up to 7.5m. Beautiful lakeside setting but management and maintenance criticized.
