The Mrs, after many years of persuading, has decided she wouldn't mind trying out a camping holiday this year and the area we'd settled on was that of the Rhone-Alps, specifically the tract through Bourg-en-Bresse/Lyon/Geneva.

The deal is it would probably have to be mobile home/cabin, good clean facilities, relaxing surroundings, and reasonably priced e.g. spotted a place south of Geneva that's €235/week. It's years since I've done anything like this and the holidays I used to go on were more your typical Eurocamp places. Really I'd prefer something a little more laid back and less "built" than those sorts of sites.

Preferably it would also be somewhere that's going to have pretty reliably decent weather in mid-late June and a real bonus would be near a lake. Walking, cycling, eating and drinking will be our primary activities.

So, what have you got?

I have a couple of pals who used to take their large families to Annecy. I have not camped around the lake myself but visited the place in both summer and winter. It is picturesque and has a nice feel.
