I loved the location, so close to village and cable cars. The onsite restaurant was excellent.
Pitch was a good size, level and had a nice view. It was nice to be able to hear the cow bells on the hills above.

The location of the campsite in Le Grand Bornand is perfect - close to the bus station and easy access to the town. Also, all the staff were very pleasant and friendly and everyone spoke excellent English.
More care could be taken maintaining the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. It was common for toilets to run out of paper and hand soap dispensers to be empty. The "old" block at the top of the site was very dark and there didn't appear to be any light switch or automatic on/off as people entered or left. Overall, the site resembled a car park and the pitches were close together. I was surprised that multiple campers/caravans were allowed to share a Comfort pitch. The ambience could easily be improved by some tubs of flowers and decorative shrubs.
The pitch was very flat

Fewer units on single pitches, more space between units.
Cabin accommodation was good.
Touring pitches were unsafe with no fire wall between units.

Our friends recommended the site , very grateful
Excellent, well run site

Very efficient check-in and a choice of pitches.
Pitch size was great, we had a 6m van. We even switched pitches for one with more shade, as we dont have an awning. This was no problem at all.

Friendly helpful staff, good shower block, nice to have a pool
Electrics didn’t always work, no water had to go to main block, no devidors between vans, often no toilet paper.
Plenty of space.
Water at each plot did not work, also planting would be good to give more shade and stop you looking at your neighbour all the time.

We got a friendly English speaking welcome which was nice. The location is very good for anyone who is skiing. The ski shuttle stops right outside the camp site. The facilities were modern and clean.
The pitches were a little muddy so additional gravel at some point would be useful. The campers were quite close together.
Easy hook up with electricity, good camper service point, near to toilets and showers.
Pitch was a little wet and muddy.

Great location, close to the village. . Good to have ski bus stop right outside the entrance. Toilet blocks were always clean. Facilities in site were good
Level pitches... very difficult to get on ramps in snow. For the price paid there should be level pitches. We saw other people struggling to level. Not enough space between campers, so a potential fire hazard . Issues experienced with the electricity supply which we heard others also complaining about.

Description on website
Size and location
We miss understood the description thinking 3 rooms meant 3 bedrooms, as the website has 3 images of beds ( 1 double bed and 2 images showing 2 single beds)

Convenient site, good pitches, facilities very clean and always hot water for shower and washing up. Staff friendly and very helpful. Swimming pool a nice extra and games room. Very easy access to the bus to slopes and walk to town. Free buses to local resorts and telecabines.
Slightly larger shower cubicles, especially for a more mature adult.
Flat, good 10amp power, snow cleared daily by staff.
Price for 10amp power was expensive

We had an excellent 5 night stay. The campsite is 5 minutes walk from the main town and the ski bus picks up just outside the campsite entrance and drops off at the gondola.
Metered electricity would be good. This would allow those who do not use a lot of electricity to benefit.
Our winter camping pitch was perfect. Flat pitch, EHU right behind our van and the excellent and warm shower blocks were a short walk. The campsite was very good at clearing the fresh snowfall off the campsite roadways.
Nothing.

Excellent swimming pool. Very convenient access to town and ski bus. Plenty of space on pitch as it was quiet.
Could not get hot water consistently for washing up or shower- there is something wrong with the settings or design

Great location for skiing and town
Hot water in showers one minute burning hot next freezing, difficult to control temperature making it difficult to shower children. More hooks needed in showers to hang clothes up and keep shoes dry
