A family campsite with a history
Founded over 15 years ago by Yohann and Virginie Rigolet, Camping du Lac de Carouge was born of a shared passion for nature and hospitality. From the outset, Yohann and Virginie’s ambition was to create a place of relaxation and conviviality in Savoie, a place where every visitor could recharge their batteries and enjoy an authentic, unspoilt setting.
This family project has evolved over the years to become a popular campsite, while remaining true to its values of simplicity and warm welcome. Their early years were marked by constant efforts to improve the infrastructure while preserving the natural aspect of the site. This long-term effort has transformed the campsite into an emblematic place for families and nature lovers, while maintaining the family spirit and personalized approach that still make the reputation of Camping du Lac de Carouge today.
