Our entertainment program is modest, and if you’re looking for a campsite with late-night dance parties, camping La Ravoire et lo Velâjo may not be for you!
To the fountains:
The entertainment program at Les Fontaines is more complete and varied because the campsite is larger than our other sites. Nevertheless, the animation style remains very family-oriented, aimed at families with children up to the age of 16. At Les Fontaines, we organize pétanque games, waterpolo for the over-13s, archery for the kids, bingo evenings, karaoke, just dance, etc.
A kids’ club is available from Monday to Friday, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, for children over 5.
In the evenings, we offer at least one concert a week, with a fireworks display every two weeks, magic shows, bmx bike shows and more. However, it should be noted that we don’t organise entertainment evenings for adults, and that they never end after 10pm to preserve the peace and quiet of the campsite.
Yes, the La Ravoire and Les Fontaines campsites have a varied clientele from different countries, including England and the Netherlands. In high season, July and August, at La Ravoire, the French rate is around 10-20% depending on the week. In Les Fontaines, the French rate is around 40%, with the exception of the last week of July and the first week of August, when the French rate is around 10%.
The reason is that at Lake Annecy, there are very few campsites with 4-star services such as waterslides, restaurants, etc. Our campsites book up very quickly, and foreigners generally book much earlier than the French. Our campsites book up very quickly, and foreigners generally reserve much earlier than the French. This means that when the French start booking around Christmas and January, there isn’t much availability. We try to have a mix of nationalities as we believe this provides the best atmosphere, but we are limited in our ability to stop online bookings from other countries! If you’re staying on our campsites in July and August – particularly in late July and early August – you’ll have to accept that there are few French guests on site.
At Lo Velâjo, we expect there to be more French people on the campsite this summer than at Ravoire and Les Fontaines because the campsite has no regulars and availability will always be there when the French book in January, so no worries about the above question at Lo Velâjo for 2025!
Yes, our 3 campsites are quiet. We ask for total silence after 11:00 pm, out of respect for other guests. We have a security guard on the campsite in July and August at 11:00 p.m. who goes around to make sure there is no noise. Please do not be surprised or offended if you are asked to keep your voice down.
At our 3 campsites, we’re a quiet campsite, suitable for couples and families looking for a peaceful, family-friendly environment. There is a strict policy of silence on the campsites after 11pm. So we’re not campsites for groups of adults on vacation. We strongly advise against booking adult groups in July and August, as you’ll be surrounded by families with children. We will only accept adult group bookings if you agree to our quiet policy, and understand that you must be respectful of your neighbors who may be a family with young children.
Nevertheless, we often receive groups of cyclists and paragliders in the low season, who understand and respect our quiet policy.
