Holidaying with your dog at the Annecy campsites
At the campsite
Your loyal friends are welcome at the campsite throughout the season on a bare pitch; in your motorhome, tent, or caravan.
We gladly accept them in our rentals in April, May, June, and September with an additional fee.
However, we cannot accommodate them in our rentals in July and August. Indeed, the turnover of clients is so high that our cleaning teams cannot ensure a "hair-free mobile home" for the next guests.
Therefore, we have decided to prohibit pets during the peak season.
Dogs must be kept on a lead on the campsite, and poo must be removed. Dog toilets are available on the campsite. The fields around the campsite are farmland, not dog parks.

In the alpine pastures, since the return of the wolf, herds are often guarded by a protection dog: the Patou. Most of the time, they are in the herd among the animals. But it is possible that as you approach, the dogs come to meet you to ensure that you are not an "intruder," even if you do not see the herd. They roam freely and make their own choices.
For your safety and that of your dog, we advise you not to take your dog with you in the mountains where there are herds.
