Camping à Rambouillet

Alan Rogers Review

This pleasant site is part of the Huttopia group whose philosophy is to rediscover the camping spirit. It is in a peaceful forest location beside a lake, with good tarmac access roads and site lighting. The 116 touring pitches, 100 with electricity connections (10A), are set among the trees and in clearings. As a result, shade is plentiful and grass sparse. The main area is kept traffic-free but there is a section for motorhomes and those who need or prefer to have their car with them. The result is a safe, child-friendly site. There is an Espace Nature with 40 large pitches for camping.

As part of their efforts to be environmentally friendly, Huttopia have built a natural swimming pool. The water is filtered by reeds and it was used for the first time in 2008 and passed the stringent tests of France’s Ministry of Health. The opening date each year depends on how quickly the reeds do their work, but it will certainly be open from June to September. From your pitch, you can stroll out into the forest and there are many good cycle routes and footpaths in the area. Rambouillet itself is an interesting town and Chartres and Versailles are within easy reach. It is possible to visit Paris by rail (a 30 minute journey) and the Mobilis transport package ticket is available from the railway station.
