Pool complex

Les Fontaines’ pool complexes are one of its best features for families. They’re not on the scale of a huge resort like Le Pin parasol, but they still offer plenty to guests. There are two pool zones: A waterpark with slides and splash area at the entrance and a more relaxing pool with indoor/outdoor retractable roof at the centre.
Waterpark at the front

This is where we spent most sunny afternoons. It has multiple slides: a twisting tube slide, a couple of straight racers, and even a Space Bowl slide, which launches you out. Unsurprisingly our 2-year-old went down all the slides (with a little help) and absolutely loved them, the 5 year old did too, but she’s well accustomed to campsite slides these days.
We loved this area because alongside the slides there was also a small, heated swimming pool with different depths, jacuzzi and children's splash area. It was the perfect size for young families.

However, we did find that because there were no lifeguards at this time of year some unsupervised teenagers spent a lot of time messing around and playing football in the spacebowl.
So, we tended to stick to the younger children's splash with mini fountains and slides with shallow waters for little ones to safely play.

There isn’t much space to relax around these pools, though we did always find a sun lounger in low season.
Take precautions because the paving around the pools is a smooth concrete tile that gets extremely hot under midday sun. Water shoes or sandals are a must for littles.

The centre pool area:
The pool at the centre of the site seemed far more relaxed. This was usually filled with young families or older couples. The pools were a good temperature, definitely heated and there was a little slide for our toddler.

The views here are also epic and potentially outweigh those at the 1st pools.
The outdoor pool has a retractable cover so it’s great for cooler temperatures or rainy days. Again, we never had a problem finding a sun lounger here and it was perfectly placed, near the bar, for grabbing an after-swim drink.
For a smaller campsite, having two separate aquatic areas and over six slides is fantastic. It kept our children entertained for hours. In low season, you might have the pools blissfully to yourself at times, as we pretty much did but iIn high season I would expect it to be a little busier. However, with the option of the lake too, I imagine many holiday makers will be spread out well.
Swimwear rule
No swimwear rule was enforced, this could change when lifeguards are on duty in high season.
Campsite Facilities

Very basic facilities outside of the high season
Receptions, Customer Services and Check in

Reception & Check-In: There are essentially two check-in points: the main campsite reception (for those who booked directly) and the Eurocamp reception. We accidentally tried to check in at the main reception even though Eurocamp guests technically have a separate process.
The main reception staff were very friendly and had no issue giving us our info and letting us through. They are also who you’ll speak too if you want bike hire.
We then headed through to the Eurocamp reception and after a few unanswered phone calls discovered an envelope with our name on with our map and keys inside. (we assumed) for self-check-in.

The Eurocamp reps we met afterwards informed us that’s just where they leave them and we should have waited for them to check in, whoops. The Eurocamp couple were a lovely Dutch (speaking perfect English) couple that have worked at this site for 6 years. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any questions about the area.
One thing to note: arrival timing.
We arrived around 1 pm, but reception was closed for lunch (common in France out of peak season). It didn’t reopen until 2 pm, and by then a line of caravans had formed at the gate, with nowhere to park. We managed to squeeze into a spot and ended up picnicking on an empty pitch while we waited.
If you arrive early, be prepared for a wait or call ahead. There’s not much holding area at the entrance.
Play Areas

Les Fontaines has a few play areas for children, though we found them a bit underwhelming and in need of attention. Here’s a breakdown of what’s available:
Play park (by the pool)

Between the bar terrace and the covered pool building there’s a small playground. On the map it was oddly labeled “white tent,” so we initially overlooked it. It features a little slide and climbing frame suitable for young kids (toddlers to maybe 6 years). It’s nothing elaborate, just a basic structure with climbing bits and slides. Though our children enjoyed it on a rainy morning.
Other Play Park

At the front of the campsite, there’s another playground area. This one is larger, but unfortunately in poor shape. It has a rope circuit which would be great if maintained, but we noticed some ropes were loose or fraying.
There’s also a bigger slide here (the old metal kind) and a set of outdoor bodyweight gym equipment. This area could offer a lot, but it’s clearly aging and hasn’t been repaired recently. With some refurbishment, it could be amazing. Again, it is low season so this could be fixed before the peak July and August holidays.
There’s plenty of space and even shady trees around, but as of our visit it was the most run-down corner of the campsite.
Bouncy Castle

Near that front play area, they had a bouncy castle. This was a hit with our 2 and 5-year-olds and definitely made up for the play area. Though we did notice a few very young children were there without parents in sight.
Table tennis
Just around the corner from the front playground, is a ping-pong table. You’ll need to bring paddles and balls (or perhaps borrow from reception).
Multi sports area

Les Fontaines has a standard multi-sports court (the kind enclosed by fencing) for football, basketball, etc. It appeared fairly new and in good condition. Surprisingly, we hardly ever saw anyone using it during our stay. This could be because the campsite was quiet, or because activities weren’t being organised yet. In high season, I imagine they’d run teen football games or such there. If you have sporty kids, the facility is there.
Arcade Room
Unlike some larger resorts, there isn’t a real arcade or indoor games room. I did notice an area labeled “Gym Room” on the map which had a couple of arcade-looking machines inside but they were off. Perhaps later in summer they might activate them or set up a games room. There is also no mini-golf, no trampoline park, or other elaborate play amenities on site. It’s simpler in that regard. The emphasis at Les Fontaines is really on the pools and enjoying the beautiful nature/cycling outside the camp.
Animation and entertainment for kids and adults
During our mid-June stay, none of the entertainment was actually running yet. The site has an “entertainment hall” (we peeked in one day), but all we saw was what seemed to be a private lunch. According to the website, in high season there will be evening shows, kids’ mini-disco, kids clubs and more.
So, there is life in July/August. Just be aware if you come early (May or June), the vibe will be very quiet at night, which can be a pro or con depending on what you want. We personally didn’t mind the peace and quiet in the evenings and found it nice to sit on our deck with a glass of wine instead.
Bars, Restaurants and Takeaway

Restaurant:
A full-service restaurant is on-site. This was styled in a gorgeous Alpine style and it even had 2 skis on the wall. The menu had a mix of Savoyard specialties and family favorites like pizzas, pastas, and grill items. Prices ranged roughly €16-€20 for mains. A children's meal cost 10e for nuggets, ham or sausage with chips, a drink and a ball of ice cream.

We didn’t sit for a meal, but the space looked inviting. It’s family-friendly; we saw high chairs available and many kids dining with parents. If you fancy a night “out” without leaving the campsite, this is a convenient option.
Bar:

Adjacent to the restaurant is a bar area with outdoor terrace and covered seating. We often came for beers and ice creams. The primary draft beer was Jupiler which we’re not overly a fan of but there were other options available and I enjoyed a few rose’s.
The bar terrace overlooks the pool area, so it’s a nice spot to relax. It wasn’t rowdy during our stay but had enough people to feel atmospheric.
Takeaway/Snack:
The campsite offers a take-away service during restaurant hours. The menu includes pizzas (€10-€15 range), burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and similar fast food. We used this on our last night.

The food was prepared within about 20-30 minutes and we took it back to our accommodation. Quality was good (hot dog was just a basic frankfurter in a bun, nuggets were decent). It’s very handy to have if you don’t feel like cooking or going out.
There is also a snack bar at the second pool area (by the waterslides) that was open in the afternoons for ice creams, cold drinks, and light snacks. It had a separate price board. We noticed an odd quirk: one side of the board showed one price for a certain ice cream, the other side a different price. But generally, expect to pay typical resort prices (€2.50 for an ice cream, €3 for a drink, etc.).
Campsite Shop

The campsite shop is tiny, essentially a small room with basic items. You can get milk, tins, some regional products and a small fridge/freezer selection.
Most importantly, they offer fresh bread and pastries each morning. In June we had to order the day before to ensure availability. This pre-order system was easy: just head to the shop where they had a paper form to write your name and tick off what you wanted to order. The, you just need to collect it the next day.In peak summer (July–August), they stock more and you may be able to buy bread without pre-order.
The shop’s hours were a bit limited outside high season (only open for a few hours in morning and a couple hours in late afternoon/evening). Plan accordingly, and do your big grocery run at a supermarket in Doussard or Faverges (both about 5-10 minutes’ drive). We used the Carrefour Contact in Doussard, which was convenient, or the Carrefour market at Sevrier.
WIFI
Wi-Fi is free across the site, but the performance was hit-or-miss. Being near the bar and reception, our tent theoretically had coverage, but we struggled to get a stable connection. It might not be reliable enough if you need to work or stream anything heavy. The best signal was at the bar itself. They also have a so-called “Wi-Fi room” but it was definitely not in use. If the internet is important to you, consider it limited. Mobile phone signal was also spotty for us. It wasn’t a big issue as we were trying to unplug, but worth noting for those who need connectivity.
Bike Hire

The site offers bike rentals which we highly recommend using if you haven't brought your own. The bikes looked high-quality (mountain bikes and e-bikes available) and prices were reasonable (around €15-€20/day for standard bikes as I recall). Given the direct access to the Lake Annecy cycle path (the Voie Verte), cycling is one of the best ways to explore from the campsite.
Pets
We found Les Fontaines to be very pet friendly and most families on holiday here seemed to have a pet. The campsite allows pets on pitches and in certain rentals (usually for a small fee per night).
Shower blocks & Laundry

Since we were staying in a Eurocamp tent, we used the communal shower blocks nearest to us. Overall, they were kept very clean and I often saw the cleaning staff making rounds. The blocks near us had showers, toilets, and sinks in good condition. Though the toilet paper was almost like tracing paper so I’d advise bringing your own. Also note that the floors can be slippy here when wet and I nearly had a few falls.
We loved the family shower room which was essentially a large cubicle with a normal shower plus a hip-height child’s shower head. This made it so much easier to shower our toddler without juggling in a tight space.
There were also plenty of washing-up sinks for dishes, and even a free-to-use dishwasher machine, though we weren’t sure how to get the tokens to work this.

Laundry facilities were available too: there are coin-operated washers and dryers in a building near the shop
Lake Annecy

The sparkling Lake Annecy is the big draw to Les Fontaines. It’s often called one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, with clear turquoise water that’s perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and more.
The campsite is situated at the southern tip of the lake, about 2 km from the shore (an easy 15–20 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride). The Doussard Beach (Plage de Doussard) is the closest lake beach and it has a grassy park, a sandy shore, shallow areas for kids, and a bar/café.
Plage de Doussard was also a great sport for watching paragliders land above your head. The day we visited was surprisingly breezy so I feel like we couldn’t appreciate the location as much as we wanted, but it was still a beautiful afternoon out.
Day Trips
Annecy Town Centre

Known as the “Venice of the Alps” for its canals in the old town, Annecy is a beautiful historic town with cobbled streets, pastel-colored buildings, and fairytale scenery.
It’s around a 25 minute drive from the campsite but I definitely advise going first thing in the morning. The traffic around the centre is busy and car parks fill up fast.
We got to Annecy at 8.30am on a Sunday morning and by 11 the car park was jam packed.
We parked at: Parking Tresum, 6 Rue de la Providence, 74000 Annecy and it was a really convenient place to get to and from.
Col de la Forclaz
Col de la Forclaz is on the opposite side of the lake, around 30 minutes by car. From there you get an unbeatable panoramic view over Lake Annecy. It’s also famous as a paragliding launch point. You’ll see dozens of paragliders soaring above the lake on a good day and if you’re adventurous, you can book a tandem paragliding flight.
Available Accommodation

We stayed in a Eurocamp eco-lodge tent which we really recommend. However there is a wide selection of Eurocamp and sites own accommodation available.
For Eurocamp you can stay in a Comfort holiday home or an Eco lodge tent. We found our Eurocamp tent well-equipped and comfortable and it had what I believe to be the best view on the entire site. If you want to compare the accommodation options, we’ve written a handy Eurocamp accommodation comparison post.
With the campsite itself, they had a varied range of high tier and low tier options available. I love the look of the Kenya Lodges.

Another option is to bring your own equipment and camp. We were surrounded by campers and loved watching them all arrive with their bikes and sports gear packed up for a sporty holiday.
Should I Book Direct Through The Campsite Or Through An Operator? (How To Book)
Les Fontaines can be booked directly through Yelloh Village or via tour operators like Eurocamp. We went with Eurocamp because we wanted the tent experience with flexible options. Read Our Eurocamp Guide if you want to know what I mean by that!

It’s worth comparing prices and options to see what you feel is the best option for your family.
Do You Need A Car To Get Round?
Yes, I would say so. Whilst there is public transport in the area and you could theoretically get to the campsite without a car, it would be very long winded. I would advise, if you are flying, then to hire a car.
If you do choose to travel without a car, then definitely consider hiring bikes to do your shopping and to fully enjoy the beautiful area.
What Public Transport Options Are There to Les Fontaines?
There is a regional bus line (Y51) that runs from Annecy to Albertville and stops in Lathuile/Doussard. Buses are roughly every hour (depending on seasonality). So theoretically, you can train/fly to Annecy and then bus to near the campsite, however it is around a 20 minute uphill walk from the bus stop to the campsite with your luggage.
Additionally, in summer a navette boat (Navibus) connects Doussard to Annecy by lake. It’s like a ferry cruise, a scenic way to visit Annecy without driving/parking. It is, however, fairly expensive.
Should I Hire A Car?
Yes. If you are flying to Les Fontaines, I would definitely advise hiring a car.
Nearest Ferry Port to Les Fontaines
Surprisingly Dieppe (7 hr 57 min (767,8 km) via A6) is one of the closest French ports to Les Fontaines. Calais Port (8 hr 47 min (857,5 km) via A26) is often seen as the cheaper option. Whilst the more expensive but more luxurious Caen/Ouistreheam port is 8 hr 18 min (817,1 km) via A13 and A6.
Nearest Airport To Les Fontaines
Geneva (GVA) is the closest major airport. At 1 hr 5 min (62,6 km) via A41. Lyon Saint-Exupéry is about 1h40m drive. There’s also a small Annecy Airport (23 km away) but it has limited commercial flights (mostly private/charter). From Geneva Airport, there are shuttle buses (from blabla bus or flix bus) or even private transfers to Annecy; from Annecy, you’d use the bus as described.
How To Get To The Campsite: Driving Directions
If you drive, the campsite is accessible via the D1508 road which runs along Lake Annecy’s west side from Annecy to Albertville. Coming from Annecy, it’s a straight drive of about 30 minutes. You’ll pass through Sévrier, Saint-Jorioz, Duingt, and Bredannaz. At Bredannaz (just after a tunnel), watch for the Lathuile turn-off at a traffic light – the campsite is signposted from there.
The drive from the Channel ferry ports (Calais) is about 840 km – roughly 8 hours plus stops
Major autoroutes A6/A40/A41 connect to the area (tolls can be pricey, ~€70 from Calais). We broke up our drive, but it’s doable in a day.

Cleanliness and Maintenance
We have mixed impressions here.

Cleanliness of facilities (toilets, showers, restaurant, pools) was excellent. Les Fontaines has high standards and it showed. The wash blocks were cleaned multiple times a day, and the pools were well-kept (water clear, no rubbish lying around). Our accommodation (Eurocamp tent) was also spotless upon check-in. Around the grounds, we didn’t notice any litter or mess.
Maintenance of equipment and grounds, however, left a bit to be desired. As mentioned, some playground structures were in disrepair and the pool area had a loose filter grate that was sticking up above the water line, which could be a hazard.
I think the site is just looking for a little bit of extra love and by joining the Yelloh chain this year, perhaps they will receive it.
Family Friendliness

We would rate Les Fontaines highly for family-friendliness, especially for families with younger children. Our kids are toddlers, and for them the campsite was just about perfect: small enough to run around without getting lost, a fun pool area made for their size, and other children to befriend. The atmosphere is very relaxed and safe. We felt comfortable letting our 5-year-old ride her scooter around our section of the campsite without constant supervision (we could see her looping around and there were no cars speeding through). The lack of big crowds in June meant no intense noise or overstimulation so it was an easy going environment.

At the pool, our 5-year-old daughter made friends with a German boy her age. Neither spoke the other’s language, but that didn’t stop them from playing for days. They were laughing and chasing each other in and out of eachothers tents and they even made toasted marshmallows together on the bbq.
There was an international mix of campers from all over Europe (we met Dutch, British, German, and French families) yet there was still a strong community feel to the site.
We found the environment perfect for a short family holiday with young children. If they invest in updating the playgrounds, it would be even better. We’d definitely recommend Les Fontaines for families with children under 12 who want a beautiful natural setting and are okay with a low-key campground that isn’t full of frills but has the essentials for family fun.
Pricing and Value for Money

For two nights at Les Fontaines, we paid a total of £75.76. That includes £2.06 of tourist tax. We think we got a massive bargain. We took our own linen so we didn’t spend on this, but had we booked our linen through Eurocamp we could have expected to pay an extra: £67.23 for a double and two single packs. For a 2 night stay, we didn’t feel it was worth hiring.
Campsite food and drinks were pretty standard and we didn’t feel like anything was overpriced. I’m very happy with how much we spent on this long weekend.
Our Experience and Review Conclusion
Our stay at Camping Les Fontaines was enjoyable and full of memorable moments, but it didn’t quite live up to the very high hopes we had going in. The location is absolutely five-star and you couldn’t ask for a more gorgeous setting for a campsite. But I just felt like there was something missing. Why is it that everyone loves this site so much? What am I missing?

Our accommodation absolutely exceeded our expectations and was actually bigger than we expected. It had every home comfort we needed and a full sized fridge freezer. The beds were comfy and the furniture was in good condition. We couldn’t have asked for more.
The pools and slides were a great feature and being able to stand at the top of the space bowl looking out on the incredible scenery should win this a 10/10 alone.

However, there are aspects of the campsite that felt a bit lack-luster. The facilities and grounds could use some modernisation and “life.” We found ourselves comparing it to other campsites we’ve visited and thinking that Les Fontaines felt older and quieter than expected for a 4-star.
The lack of any entertainment or animation in June was a disappointment. We weren’t looking for a party, but a quiz night or some music would’ve added to the atmosphere.
The main issue we had was with the playgrounds being in mediocre shape since we usually rely on those when we’re bored of the pools. It’s not that the site was bad. Not at all. It’s just that perhaps, I should have managed my expectations a little better.
From a practical perspective, the campsite served as a great base to explore the wonders of the Annecy region. If that is what you want from it with some good pools and slides, then really, this is perfect. Perhaps I just had the idea that this was more of a resort when really it isn’t.

Would we stay again at Les Fontaines? Possibly. It really is perfect as a base for exploring Annecy and the surrounding areas. We would probably limit our stay to around 4 days though as I think we may get bored after that.
For a week-long family holiday, we might opt for a campsite with a bit more going on or one of the sister sites nearby (like La Ravoire or L’Idéal, which are similar in location).
We enjoyed it for a couple of nights and absolutely recommend it for families who prioritise natural beauty and pool fun over organized activities or luxury facilities. The value was good for what we paid, and the issues we encountered were relatively minor annoyances rather than trip-ruiners.
Our Final Thoughts
Basically, if your dream campsite is a peaceful one with amazing views, fun pools, and you don’t mind self-organizing your fun, Camping Les Fontaines is perfect. If you require a full-on resort with bustling entertainment and deluxe facilities, you might find it a tad underwhelming. We feel it’s an ideal site for families with young kids or nature lovers who want a central, scenic base
Our Experience Rating: 7/10 – A solid family campsite with incredible location and great pool fun, best suited for a short stay or a laid-back holiday. We enjoyed it, but see potential for even more.

FAQ’s
Are The Mobiles Close Together?
Yes, We were a bit surprised that even though it’s in the countryside, the pitches didn’t feel particularly spacious or private. Mobile homes are arranged in rows with maybe a few meters gap between units, however, this is right near lake annecy and you can understand why they would be like this. We would not let this put you off, but manage expectations that this isn’t a sprawling campground with hedged, secluded pitches.
Is The Campsite Flat?

It’s on a gentle slope. From reception at the bottom up to the top of the site, it rises gradually. Pushing a pushchair or walking is easy enough, but you will be going uphill/downhill a bit. It’s relatively mild. But yes, not entirely flat.
Are There Mosquitos?
No significant mosquitos during our stay. Lake Annecy’s water is very clean and not marshy, so it doesn’t breed tons of mosquitos like some lakes. We had our repellent ready but honestly didn’t need it.
Is It Easy To Get A Sunbed Around The Pool?
For us in low season, absolutely yes – plenty of free loungers at any time of day. In July or August, it could be a different scenario. The pool deck isn’t huge, so I imagine in high summer it fills up. Since there are two pool areas, that helps distribute people.
What Happens If I Arrive To The Campsite Late?
it’s best to call ahead and inform the staff. They can arrange a late check-in procedure. Often this means they’ll leave an envelope with your name at reception or with a night security guard, containing the map and key to your accommodation. If you’re extremely late, occasionally you’ll have to leave your car on the other side of the barrier.
Do You Need To Wear A Wristband?
No, we were surprised not to receive a wristband and could walk straight into the pool facilities without it being checked that we were staying there. Again, I definitely think this was because it was the low season.
Do Men Have To Wear Swim Trunks?
No, the usual French rule was not enforced here. Swim shorts were perfectly fine. This could be because the pool was unmanned. In the high season this could change so come prepared.
Are There BBQs On Site?

Yes, there are free communal BBQs. They’re first-come, first-served and often we saw people had left charcoal with them for the next users.
Can You Use Inflatables at the Pool?
We saw a few small inflatable rings and arm bands for little kids in use, which was fine. Large inflatables aren’t really practical as the pools aren’t overly huge.
What's The Weather Like In Spring/Summer?
Generally, summers are warm and sunny with occasional storms. In our short stay we experienced both extremes: Day 1 was a heatwave – blue skies and about 30°C. Day 2 brought a thunderstorm in the afternoon, cooling things down with heavy rain, then the sun came back out.
Typically, late spring (May/June) can be very pleasant with 20-25°C highs but also unpredictably wet at times. July and August average around 25-27°C highs with plenty of sun, and the lake warms up to ~23°C (comfortable for swimming).
We recommend packing a bit of everything: swimwear and shorts for hot days, a rain jacket or umbrella just in case, and a sweater for late evenings.
Can You Park On Your Pitch/Emplacement?
Some pitches include dedicated parking for your vehicle, particularly those meant for campers or caravans. However, not every pitch provides direct parking
Can You Take Pets On The Campsite?
Yes, pets are allowed on the campsite with some restrictions. Dogs must be declared at booking or check-in, kept on a lead, and cannot enter the pool, playgrounds, or washblocks. Owners must clean up after them.
Where's The Nearest Supermarket?
The closest supermarket is Carrefour Contact in Doussard, approximately a 5–10 minute drive from the campsite.
For more extensive shopping there’s an Intermarché and a Lidl in Faverges around 15 minutes away by car
My Flight Isn’t Till Late, Can I Stay On Site After Check Out?
Yes, within reason. The official checkout from accommodations is usually by 10 am. As long as you move your car out of the pitch (so incoming guests can arrive) then you can continue using the pool and facilities for the day. This can be a lifesaver with kids who need something to do before a long journey. Just make sure to ask and get the okay, and be respectful.
Is It Loud In The Evenings?
During our stay, not at all. By around 10 pm, the place was almost eerily quiet – no entertainment noise, no loud groups. People chatted at their plots but it was gentle murmur at most. We actually wouldn’t have minded a bit more liveliness. In high season, I suspect there’s more evening activity – maybe a karaoke night or kids disco that goes until 11 pm. Even then, this isn’t known as a “party” campsite, so it won’t get excessively loud. Quiet hours are enforced at a reasonable time.
What Can We Do If It Rains?
There are several options.
- We always enjoy listening to the rain on our tent whilst playing a bit of dobble.
- The covered pool facilities are still accessible in the rain
- Annecy town centre if it’s light rain, it’s still gorgeous to explore with umbrellas and there’s plenty of cafes and museums to duck inside. There’s also a shopping mall and cinema.
- We drove past a bowling centre and an indoor laser tag, great for older children.
- And for younger children there’s indoor soft play called the enchanted forest 516 Rte des Prés Rollier, 74330 Sillingy (north of annecy town).
The indoor pool facilities, bowling nearby, Annecy shopping centre, etc
Can I Use My Wise/Revolut Card On SIte?
Yes, cards are widely accepted. We paid by card almost everywhere – the campsite bar took contactless payment for even small purchases like €3 ice creams, the shop accepted cards (though for bakery items we paid cash just because it was a tiny amount). Our TransferWise (now “Wise”) card, which is a Mastercard, worked fine at the Carrefour supermarket, at restaurants, and for paying Eurocamp. The only thing to watch is some terminals might ask “with or without DCC (dynamic currency conversion)” – always choose to be charged in euros for best rate.
