Campsite information

Camping Domaine de Chalain

Camping Domaine de Chalain is situated on a level area between tree-covered hills, close to the shores of Lake Chalain, which is a wonderful turquoise blue thanks to the glaceir sediments. At this campsite water sports are a top priority and the atmosphere is very lively - great for (young) tennagers.

Head for that magnificent lake for a swim, a splash around or simply relax in a boat on the water. Afterwards take a nap on the beach. That's what we call a holiday.
Alongside the facilities the lake offers, you can enjoy the campsite's swimming pool complex with its exciting waterslides. People from outside the campsite may pay to use this area but campsite guests have two free admissions per day. Want to use the campsite pool more often? This is possible for a fee.
The campsite has lots more to offer including a tennis court, a beach volleyball court, a table tennis area and a pleasant open-air theatre. There's also good entertainment in the evenings. Great for kids from the age of 12.
