The Camping de Barolles is a campsite in France situated half way between Paris and Marseille. The site is located in Saint Genis Laval in the Rhône (69), to the south-west of Lyon (7 km), close to the A7 motorway (approximately 5 km). This location is perfect for exploring Lyon and the surrounding region. The peaceful leafy site offers easy access to the capital of the Gauls as well as many other interesting destinations (Beaujolais, the Monts d'Or, Pérouges, la Bresse, etc.) The centre of Lyon is just 20 minutes away by public transport. The Camping des Barolles is a family business created in 1960. Over the years, three generations of the family have managed the site, the philosophy of which is regional authenticity, conviviality and respect for the environment. Today we have a new impetus: maintaining the tradition while at the same time resolutely ensuring that the site moves with the times (sustainable development, welcome, communication, services, etc.). The Camping des Barolles warmly welcomes you all year round, whether you are a tourist, worker, or simply looking for long or short-term supplementary accommodation. Whatever your needs, we can provide you with an appropriate and cost-effective solution for living - and getting a good night's sleep - in Lyon. Our priority is respect for your well being and peace during your stay with us, in simple and accessible accommodation that represents a real alternative to other types of accommodation in Lyon. The Camping de Barolles is a real melting pot, a mixture of culture and experience that often marks the start of a whole new relationship between you and Lyon.

    Accommodation review

    Seemed the nearest site to Lyon

    Told we could only drive or reverse onto pitch . No parking across the pitch or at an angle. This was blatantly ignored by multiple people and nothing was done about it.

    It was ok , not too busy

    Probably because it was a weekend with a lot of traffic, but to get to Lyon en back, especially in de evening I had to wait easily 40-50 minutes for the bus C10 Saint-Genis. I noticed that the other bus C10 to the other destination arrived earlier ...Could it be an alternative, even though than we might have to walk back to the camping a bit longer?

    Accommodation review

    Simple, a large gravel patch

    Not really
