A 5-star campsite by Lac du Lit du Roi
Camping Lac du Lit du Roi is located at 922 route de Montaplan, La Tuillière, in Massignieu-de-Rives, in the Ain department. Its lakeside setting is the number one selling point: you can access lake swimming directly from the campsite, on a landscaped, supervised private beach. The 5-star estate spans a green park offering an incredible view over the mountains of the Grand Colombier, which tower over the Rhône valley. This scenic dimension, rare for a campsite, makes all the difference and explains why so many regulars have fallen in love with it. The pitches are generously sized and carefully defined, with terraces facing the lake to make the most of the panorama. Accommodation ranges from contemporary mobile homes to more spacious versions. Open from 30 April to 21 September 2026, the establishment holds a remarkable rating of 9.2/10 across nearly 900 customer surveys, a mark of exceptional hospitality quality.
Restaurant, entertainment and welcome by the lake
Catering on site is organised around an à la carte restaurant that showcases the flavours of the Bugey and southern Ain: grills, market dishes, local cheeses and children’s menus, in a convivial atmosphere opening onto the terrace facing the lake. The restaurant is open throughout the campsite’s season, from 30 April to 21 September 2026. On the entertainment side, the Capfun team runs high season with a programme suited to the estate’s natural spirit: kids’ clubs, a teens’ club, sports entertainment and convivial evenings are on the programme, without an excess of mass-scale evenings, to preserve the calm of the site. Practical services include a convenience store for everyday shopping, a morning bread delivery, a launderette, wifi in communal areas and bike hire. Regulars’ advice: hire bikes to breathe the pure air by the lakeside and explore the Bugey countryside independently, particularly pleasant early in the morning.
The lake, Bugey and neighbouring alpine lakes
The location of Lac du Lit du Roi makes it a favoured base camp for discovering southern Ain and the Jura mid-mountains. The lake itself offers supervised swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing, with banks landscaped for walking enthusiasts. A short distance away, the Grand Colombier, an emblematic peak of the Bugey, can be climbed by car or bike (one of the great cycling passes of the Tour de France), offering an exceptional panorama over the Alps, Lake Geneva and, on a clear day, the Massif Central. Lac d’Aiguebelette, ranked among the most beautiful lakes in France for its turquoise colour, is 30 minutes away. The blue pearl of Lac du Bourget and Aix-les-Bains are 45 minutes away for spa enthusiasts. Belley, capital of the Bugey, reveals its heritage and its famous Cerdon wine. Lyon, 1 hour 15 minutes away, and Geneva, 1 hour 30 minutes away, offer complementary city escapes. On the campsite, a multisports pitch, pétanque and table tennis tables keep sports fans busy every day.
