Les Chappas, Lakeside campground in Pontis, France
Les Chappas is a campground with roughly 85 pitches located near Lake Serre-Ponçon. The site offers both sunny and shaded areas for tents and recreational vehicles with direct water access.
The campground emerged following the creation of Lake Serre-Ponçon in the 1960s. This development was tied to a regional hydroelectric project in the French Alps.
The campground connects visitors to the outdoor lifestyle of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region through direct beach access and mountain-based recreational activities.
The facility typically operates from June through September and includes washing machines, a mini-market, and wireless internet. Most visitors can easily access the grounds with basic amenities readily available throughout the site.
The site sits about 200 meters above the water level of the lake and provides access to a private beach area through a dedicated path. This elevated position offers visitors a different perspective on the water and surrounding mountains.
