By the Varèze, a tributary of the Rhône river in the Isère department, the Le Bontemps campsite is located.

It has numerous attractions, starting with the peaceful, wooded and lush setting, lovely water park with indoor pool and water slides, as well as a wide choice of holiday rentals!
A campsite with a water park in Isère
Le Bontemps is a wellness and leisure oasis in the Isère department. The water park is particularly enjoyable, consisting of three separate swimming areas suitable for both your needs and those of your loved ones. Intrepid youngsters indulge in the delights of slides on the three water slides. Babies splash around in the paddling pool accompanied by their parents, whilst learner swimmers have fun in the water play facility and under the mushroom sprinkler.
Between these two pools is a large indoor swimming pool (you can discover this depending on the weather). You can do your daily lengths here, teach your youngest the crawl or quite simply cool down before returning to get a sun tan on one of the sunloungers, spread out over the sunbathing area running alongside and surrounding the pools.
This friendly campsite on a human scale also has other leisure and sports facilities; multi sports ground, football pitch, volleyball, basketball and pétanque courts! There is also a weights room, outdoor fitness area, badminton net and ping-pong tables. Young holidaymakers can meet up at the kids and teens clubs in July and August, but also in the play area, on the bouncy castle and over a game of mini golf in the shade of large trees…
