Camping Paradis Les Gorges du Haut Bugey

Mooi gelegen camping met veel potentie. Helaas lijkt het jonge personeel zich hier niet bewust van te zijn; de focus lijkt te liggen op het verzorgen van alle animatie voor de Franse jeugd, terwijl veel mensen juist voor een relaxte kampeertijd komen. Het entertainment is met luid geroep door microfoon en de muziek staat loeihard tot laat in de avond. De focus zou volgens ons moeten liggen op het goed en regelmatig schoonmaken van al het sanitair. Het is te vies voor woorden.

Read well, this camping comes with big warning. The surroundings are beautiful. Lake is right beside the camping site. Unfortunately during our stay it was unusable due to blue-green algae. Pool is nice, clean and fun. Then, the camping itself. We did not know that this camping is a spinoff of a french TV series. Franchise. It\'s supposed to be all fun and games from morning till night. They are 100% focused on their French guests because these people appearantly know the concept. A lot of entertainment for the French. The other (German, Dutch, UK) are strangly not included - first of all because everything is in French. They don\'t seem to care about the other half of their clients. It\'s all about the look and feel of the TV series Camping Paradis. During the day they have football, yoga, petanque etc and childrens\' occupation - but all in French. Biggest downside is the party-look & feel they take from the TV series. Including VERY loud musical events at night, until 23h and on friday disco even up to 00h. Incredibly loud sound, which made us and our neighbours very upset as the camping has many families with small children.- many of who were unable to sleep in because of the terrorising noise. Second: I wonder how their personal bathrooms and toilets look like, because 90% of the time it was filthy. Second part of our holidays: no toilet paper. Lots of families with dogs so you have to deal with that. Not every owner cleans up after their pet and some tend to bark a lot. Because of the theme (\"Camping Paradis) it attracts a certain type of French guests - other nationalities are unaware of the entertaining culture. I had a massive argument with the management and staff because of the noise and they called the Gendarmerie on me. So there you go for friendlyness and value for money. The lack of customer service is shocking. They have a superb location, so it is a mystery to me why they don\'t invest in the quality of the venue. Instead of entertaining, spent half of that time on maintenance and cleaning. Most of the clothes hooks in the showers are broken, toilets leak and floors are dirty almost 24/7. If they clean up their act, it could be a great place. But for us - never again.
