The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small lakeside parking in Savoie, accessible by van, with 2-3 spots offering panoramic views over Lake Sainte-Hélène. Fishing-focused location, completely free and very quiet outside peak fishing hours (dawn/dusk). Two bins available. Access via rough dirt road with potholes, passable but slow. Camping officially prohibited but tolerated. No water, electricity or facilities.
Highlights
- Absolute peace, rich in wildlife and flora
- Panoramic view of the lake with stunning sunsets
- Free, very quiet out of season, flat parking for 5+ vans
Good to know
- Access via a very potholed and muddy path (~1 km long)
- Very busy in peak season (tight spaces for vans), better conditions off-season
- Camping is officially banned anglers present at night with little shade
Motorhome access : Flat gravel terrain. Driveway is bumpy and potholed—take it slow. Easy maneuvering in the spacious lot. Suitable for motorhomes up to 8 m long with no declared height issues.
