La Garenne, Municipal campground at Lake Serre-Ponçon, Crots, France.
La Garenne is a three-star campground beside Lake Serre-Poncon in the Hautes-Alpes mountains. The site holds around 200 pitches, many with electrical hookups, and provides facilities including a small shop, laundry services, and internet access throughout the grounds.
The site was developed by the Crots municipality to enhance visitor access to the lake and surrounding mountains. It evolved as part of regional efforts to support tourism while maintaining the natural character of the area.
The site serves as a starting point for exploring local traditions and regional crafts scattered throughout the surrounding villages. Visitors often use their stay to discover how mountain communities have shaped their way of living and working.
The grounds operate from April through November with hookups, a shop, and laundry facilities available throughout the season. Direct access to the shoreline and water activities are main features, so arriving early during summer months helps secure better spots.
The campground sits at roughly 800 meters elevation nestled between mountain peaks and the lake water below. This setting allows guests to hike mountain trails in the morning and then cool off swimming in the afternoon.
