Camping Grisiere

A 5-star campsite on the shores of Lake Clairvaux

Camping La Grisière is located at 7 chemin du Langard in Clairvaux-les-Lacs, in the Jura department. Its position on the shores of Lake Clairvaux is one of its major assets: lake swimming is directly accessible from the campsite, without needing to get back in the car. The 5-star estate spreads over a carefully landscaped park, with shaded pitches alternating between sunny terraces and cooler areas beneath the trees. Accommodation ranges from contemporary mobile homes to family lodges, complemented by pitches for tents and caravans. The immediate proximity of the village of Clairvaux-les-Lacs, accessible on foot or by bike, makes it easy to enjoy the shops and authentic atmosphere of this Jura town. Open from 7 May to 13 September 2026, the campsite holds a remarkable rating of 9.1/10 from over 2,000 customer surveys — one of the best ratings in the region, praised for its lakeside setting and quality of welcome.

Snack bar bar, entertainment and Jura hospitality

Camping La Grisière offers a snack bar open throughout the season, from 7 May to 13 September 2026, with takeaway pizzas, sharing platters, ice cream and drinks to enjoy on the terrace facing the lake. There’s no on-site restaurant, but the immediate proximity of the village of Clairvaux-les-Lacs and its Jura eateries more than makes up for it: lovers of fondue, raclette and Franche-Comté specialities will find traditional restaurants and small country bistros a short distance away. As for entertainment, the Capfun team runs peak season with its Clapou clubs for 4-6 year-olds, Politicator for 7-10 year-olds, Nobodys for teenagers, as well as pool wake-up sessions, sports tournaments and themed evenings. Practical services include a small grocery shop for everyday shopping, daily bread delivery, a laundrette, Wi-Fi in the communal areas and bike hire — invaluable for reaching the cycle paths that wind along the lakeshore and through the surrounding villages.

The Cascades du Hérisson, Baume-les-Messieurs and the Jura lakes

Camping La Grisière’s location makes it an ideal base for discovering the touristic richness of the Jura. Lake Clairvaux, directly accessible from the campsite, offers supervised swimming, paddleboarding, pedalos and fishing amid unspoilt natural surroundings. The Cascades du Hérisson, around twenty minutes away, are one of the department’s iconic natural sites: a marked trail lets you climb seven successive waterfalls through an enchanting forest. Baume-les-Messieurs, one of the most beautiful villages in France, reveals its famous cave, its thousand-year-old abbey and its spectacular gorge, a 40-minute drive away. The Belvédère des 4 Lacs offers an exceptional panorama over the lakes of Maclu, Ilay and Narlay. Lake Vouglans, France’s largest artificial lake, is an hour away for water sports enthusiasts. On site at the campsite, a multi-sports pitch, pétanque and table tennis tables keep sports fans busy. For foodies, Comté cheese cellars and absinthe distilleries round out an authentically Jura stay.
