Why stay here ...

Set in the Forêt d’Orient Regional Park and 100m from a large lake, this site is good for family stays and as a stopover when travelling south. The facilities are well-maintained, and there’s a good pizza restaurant opposite the site entrance.

Children will enjoy the pool complex with its paddling area and slides and evening entertainment is put on during high season. There’s also a sailing school on the lake, and pedaloes and kayaks are available for use.

The area is perfect for keen walkers and cyclists, with many routes traversing the park. Troyes is nearby and has an impressive, Gothic-style cathedral with fine stained glass windows and exterior carvings, and some intriguing museums.

Big and busy

Le Lac d'Orient
Despite it's excellent location for an overnight stop we found that many campers were staying longer and taking a holiday here. Very well run, big, busy site with excellent facilities for families. Just watch out for mosquitoes as soon as the sun sets, and don't go to the lake at weekends when the whole of Troyes comes for a day out with BBQs and portable speakers unless you like the pop festival vibe. Brilliant site for cycling because the terrain is flat and paths go round the lake and through the woods. The medieval city of Troyes is well worth a visit with small art gallery and interesting cathedral.

Found this site a bit too close to other people and not much privacy, felt a bit hemmed in. The outside location was very beautiful and water was very clean and a part was used for dogs which my two choc labs loved.

Nice enough site, very busy, good location.

Le Lac d'Orient
This is a nice enough site in a good location, but avoid weekends when it gets incredibly busy with day visitors to the lake. We stopped here overnight on our way home from the south and whilst on the face of it everything was fine, we found it to be a site that didn’t give us a good ‘feel’, why? We’ll I think it was a combination of being very busy, you could hardly move in the pool and those in the pool were boisterous older children, so it wasn’t great for younger kids, our pitch wasn’t the best, probably because we were over-nighters, and the lake whilst ok, had a beach made from crushed rock, so at the water line it was muddy rather than sandy. I don’t think we would come back, purely because we didn’t get a good vibe from the site.

A large site well supplied with good resources

Le Lac d'Orient
Probably a larger site than is our preference so it was busy and lively. Aits location next to the lake offers lots of opportunities for water sports and the cycle network is superb - just about 30 km right around the lake. The entertainment programme is family friendly. The shop although a little pricey has everything that you might need in the way of essentials and you can order bread and croissants each day - the queue for collection can leave you waiting a while. The pool complex is good although the main pool is quite small. The pitch with on-site water and drainage is a great option. Whilst only here for 3 days it is a spot I would use again and the transit to Dunkerque was very easy and took about 4 hours

Lovely stay

Le Lac d'Orient
Stayed for 2 nights in June 2022. Was very hot so really appreciated the pools and water slides. Indoor pool rather cold. Large site and pretty full but still quiet at night. Really good shower/toilets, very clean and modern. Small useful shop and restaurant. Cycled round part of lake and on cycle route beside river to local village. Located just by a beach, very busy at the weekend. Would stay here again if passing on route.
