Camping le Lanfonnet

Lake Annecy is a stunningly beautiful location, Camping Lanfonnet is ideally placed close to the beach and within easy reach of small bars and restaurants. The facilities other than being old are in good, clean condition, the site has a shabby old feel to it. When checking in I showed our ACSI card and was told the charge would be €32 a night, expensive by french standards but due to the location we decided acceptable. However, the next morning when I went to pay our bill I was told it was €44.40, the card machine was broken and cash only! I told the proprietor that I wasn't happy and would not be paying €44! After much moaning she dropped the bill to €35. Please beware when booking this site it could be more costly than you anticipated.

We spent 3 night at Camping Lanfonnet in August 2022. We had booked the location for its proximity to Lake Annecy. We had seen the poor reviews before booking but were still keen to book for its proximity to the Lake. Things didn't start well. It took over 30 minutes to check in on arrival after a long 6 hour journey. No idea why the check in process had to take so long. The only location on the whole trip that requested identification to be kept for the duration of the trip, not sure why. We were shown to our pitch, the smallest of our entire trip, in which we stayed in 12 locations. We were amazed how closely packed the pitches were. We had to ask another British family to move their motorhome so we could fit on the pitch. Clearly a desire to maximise profits from the site available as opposed to consider customer satisfaction. The toilet and shower facilities close to the reception area were not acceptable. Thankfully there were newer and higher standard of facilities closer to the lake. This site is in real need of an update. In hindsight we should have chosen to camp alongside the lake in one of the many laybys.

En las duchas del primer módulo, si alguien está lavando los platos, por ejemplo, no sale agua caliente. Ofrecieron una plaza cerca del segundo módulo y pasó algo parecido: si alguien estaba en el fregadero, el agua de la ducha salía a cuentagotas. Uno no puede arriesgarse a ir a la ducha y que, de golpe, se quede sin agua o le llegue solo agua fría. Llegamos muy tarde con una camper (eso hay que reconocerlo) y nos ofrecieron dormir en el aparcamiento, lo que es de agradecer, pero al día siguiente al decirles que no nos íbamos a quedar por el tema del agua, nos cobraron 48 € por la noche anterior, cómo si hubiéramos podido disfrutar de un día completo en una parcela. ¿Es o no es un robo?
