Good base for visiting Chambéry

This campsite is located in Challes les Eaux, a small town about 4 miles south of Chambéry. The town is nice enough and has a lot of the basic facilities you need - tourist information, bakery, etc. However, it’s main attraction for us was the proximity to a frequent bus service into Chambéry, the... old capital of Savoy, which is charming and has lots to offer.
This is a municipal campsite and has good size pitches for caravans/motorhomes plus decent grass for tents. It doesn’t have a pool, but the sanitary facilities are fine, the staff friendly and helpful and the prices very reasonable. One word of caution- it is located near a small private airfield which hosts a very active glider club. Gliders and light aircraft pass low over the campsite throughout the day. As they are light aircraft the noise is no more than that of a van and in the case of the gliders a rather pleasant swoosh. We enjoyed watching them, but it might not suit anyone who is nervous around aircraft.
