Cleanliness of showers and toilets
Showers - One I used gave 5 seconds of water per button push. The showers are very cramped almost impossible to dress without dragginf some piece of clothing across a wet floor.
Accommodation review
Flat and good roadways
Somewhat close together.

Great value, well situated for ski bus and town.
Area around chalet was very muddy, could do with more gravel.
Accommodation review
Perfect for what we needed, 5 people at a great price.
Area outside.

Nice open site in a beautiful area. Village unspoiled with too many new property developments unlike many other resorts. Village has kept its traditional French feel
A camper van that pitched up very close to us. Camping cars all ‘squashed’ into one area of the site. Outside swimming pool looked very green with algae.
Accommodation review
Open site with plenty of sun
Close location of neighbouring camping car

Fantastic location close to the village and good ski bus access. Great site facilities for skiing.
Accommodation review
Location and facilities are good. Drying room is a great idea. We are very likely to return
Some pitches looked very small, ours was fine though.

Looked like a nice campsite but never found out due to refusal to move dates.
No flexibility or understanding why we moved to another location
Accommodation review
Unlikely we will book again with yourselves as even cancellation insurance does not cover this. Dissapointing that the campsite refused to take our business later in the year with the deposit we had. Also after a while they ignored my emails

Clean pool and a games room available. Friendly staff. A short walk to the centre.
Games room arcades shut down in the middle of playing at closing time, there was no opportunity given to finish the game, and the money has been taken.
Accommodation review
The shower block on the terrace was clean and had plenty of hot water.
Toilet paper, hand wash and hand towels not replenished/checked daily. Often, one toilet without paper. The water tap was a LONG way from the terrace pitches to refill. A tap up there would be useful. A light is needed in the toilet drop cupboard too .

Beautiful campsite, beautiful surroundings. The restaurant on-site is the nicest campsite restaurant we’ve ever experienced and very professional staff, also in reception too. Shower blocks seem new and are very clean. People were also very polite and mopped their showers after use.
Too many vans were crammed in, giving a feeling of not enough private space. This was also apparent in the showers that there were too many people on-site and not enough facilities to accommodate. We queued most evenings for a shower between 5 - 10 minutes.

Beautiful campsite, beautiful surroundings.
Not enough showers

Lovely spacious chalet with plenty of room for all of us. We really appreciated the fire with masses of fire wood. We didn't use any of the leisure facilities at L'Escale this time as everyone was too tired after skiing. Le Grand Bornand is a charming town with a lovely choice of bars and restaurants. The skiing was fabulous with a great range of blue and red runs. The black runs looked impossibly suicidal!
Accommodation review
The Snbowbaur is a lovely rustic apartment, with tiles floors making it a perfect place to relax with dogs - easy to clean and not worry about them spoiling anything.
It was not possible to control the temperature in the house and at times it was a little chilly. They supply plastic disposable mattress protectors which made the nights hot and noisy. If i had realised i would have taken my own protectors to place over the top of them. Hooks / towel rails would have been helpful in the bathrooms/ wc. That said, this was a lovely place to stay.

Great facilities. Lovely and warm. Fantastic ski area. Helpful staff.
Accommodation review
Our pitch was flat and level. Close to facilitate.
Paid for 10 amp electric but the Wattage and therefore voltage was low. Not enough power to run the fridge in my motorhome which could cause damage if not identified.

Fantastically located campsite in the heart of Le Grand Bornand. On site restaurant and swimming pool, as well as a games room. We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure.
Nothing that we disliked but the addition of a chemical waste disposal point would be a bonus (we didn’t see one on site).
Accommodation review
Great pitch.
