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.

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.

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.
