Great overnight stop off on our road trip, travelling with pet - easy to find, late check-in was efficient and the amenities were exactly what we needed. The setting was beautiful and reception team were helpful before and after our arrival.

It’s the third time we visit this camping. We like it because it’s very easy to access, very good location. The personal is well prepared and nice and the showers and toilettes are in perfect conditions, much much better than other campings.

The main thing that we would recommend is improved is...

A different experience then the south of France camp sites. Much more compact. Vans close together, hard pitches. Not much privacy. Pool was nice. Small.. bar area was nice. Showers ok, play area..

The showers and toilets are good and modern and seemed pretty clean. The only place to get water for the caravan was from the motor home fill point right next to the chemical waste disposal which was...

When is the best time to visit Camping de Lyon (Lyon, France)?

Pool and café terrace run late April–late September. In cooler months expect pool closure and limited café hours. Spring and autumn bike rides need a light jacket.
