Choose Relais du Léman for your motorhome break in Haute-Savoie.

In Haute-Savoie, traveling by motorhome or camper van is the promise of total freedom: choosing your stops, your pace, and your scenery. Still, even the most seasoned nomads sometimes need a real break. Whether you’re after more comfort, extra security, or simply a place to park while you explore this beautiful region, Relais du Léman is the perfect campsite for your motorhome holiday stopover in Haute-Savoie. Find out why below.

Why stop at a campsite when you’re traveling by motorhome?

Cruising the roads in a van or motorhome is freedom personified. In France, service areas are everywhere: top up your water, empty your tanks, and you’re off again. Dedicated stopover areas are multiplying too, making life on the road easier than ever. But let’s be honest: handy as they are, these stops don’t always cover every need on a long trip.

Extra comfort

A van or motorhome is practical, but it’s still a small space. Water and electricity aren’t unlimited, and showers often amount to a quick rinse. With a night at a campsite, you get back to basics: clean facilities, hot showers, and electric hook-ups. Just what you need to hit the road fresh and ready.

Peace of mind

Motorhome service areas in Haute-Savoie are undeniably useful. But you don’t always feel fully secure there, especially at night. In a campsite, you benefit from a monitored, quiet setting and considerate neighbors. The kind of place where you can truly sleep soundly.

More space, fewer hassles

Dedicated motorhome areas can quickly feel like a giant game of Tetris: tight spots, tricky maneuvers… At a campsite, the parking battle is over. Pitches for vans and motorhomes are wider, easier to access, and you enjoy a proper little space to call your own.

A setting with real charm

Let’s be clear: a view of a roundabout or a municipal car park isn’t anyone’s dream. Choose a campsite and you’ll park your camper in a setting that’s worth the stop: greenery, mountains, the lake… Exactly what you need to turn a simple pause into a true holiday interlude.

Activities a stone’s throw from Lake Geneva

Relais du Léman is ideal for your Lake Geneva motorhome road trip. Only a few minutes away, the famous lake stretches along 180 km of shoreline and offers a wealth of activities for every taste. Whether you’re into relaxing, adrenaline, or cultural discovery, this region has everything to delight you during your stay at the campsite.

To cool off and lounge

After a few days on the road, nothing beats a break by the water. The beaches around Lake Geneva are perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Here are our top picks:

  • Messery beach, a 20-minute walk away, a little green haven ideal for a family swim.
  • Excenevex beach, a 12-minute drive, the lake’s only fine-sand beach—bringing a touch of seaside holiday vibes.
  • Sciez-sur-Léman beach, a 15-minute drive, a great balance between relaxation and water sports.

To get out on the water

Lake Geneva isn’t just for swimming. It’s also a playground for all lovers of watersports. You can try:

  • sailing, paddleboarding, or windsurfing,
  • water-skiing or towable tubing for bigger thrills.

Or hop aboard for a cruise, including crossings to Switzerland from Évian-les-Bains. It’s a perfect teaser for a motorhome getaway to Geneva.

To gain some altitude

The hills around the lake offer magnificent viewpoints from land or sky. Take them in by trying:

  • easy hikes for all, like the Secret of the Fairies trail in Habère-Poche, perfect for a family outing,
  • mountain-biking rides or more sporty downhill runs for two-wheel enthusiasts,
  • paragliding, to admire the lake and mountains from the air and enjoy an unforgettable moment.
