Base de Loisirs du Lac de La Moselotte

The leisure park at Lac de la Moselotte is in Saulxures-sur-Moselotte, in the Vosges, in the south of the massif, in the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park. It is built around an artificial lake of 9.6 hectares. Created in 1995, it has been modernised since 2015, with renovated accommodation and a brasserie that opened in 2018. Épinal, Remiremont, Gérardmer, La Bresse and Ventron are among the nearby destinations.

The campsite is presented as a 4-star establishment. It offers 50 pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, 20 chalets for 4 to 8 people, 10 mobile homes for 2 to 8 people and 10 bungalows for 4 to 5 people, without water or indoor sanitary facilities. Two accommodations are adapted for guests with reduced mobility.

Opening period: the leisure park and its accommodation announce a welcome all year round, with children’s play areas accessible in every season. The chalets and mobile homes are equipped and heated, which makes a stay outside the summer possible. The lake itself is mainly a fine-weather affair: swimming is prohibited from September to the end of June, and catering runs from May to September.

Stay offers are available for weekends, fishing, electric biking or gourmet getaways, along with a 20% discount from 14 nights.

Play areas open all year round, waymarked cycling and mountain-bike routes, footpaths around the lake, ski resorts in the surrounding area.

The chalets and mobile homes are fully equipped: kitchen area with refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle and crockery, electric hobs, living area with television, bedrooms with made-up beds, bathroom, toilet and covered terrace with garden furniture. They are heated. The bungalows make do with a kitchenette, a refrigerator, hobs, a microwave, electric heaters and a covered terrace; two shared barbecues are available, and guests use the outdoor washrooms, including one block adapted for guests with reduced mobility: showers, baby-changing tables, a baby bath, a sink for washing dishes and a laundry.

As for food, the lake restaurant and bar open from May to September, while the burger food truck and the beach bar operate only in July and August. You should therefore plan your own meals outside that period. The reception desk advises visitors on outings in the region, and a gift voucher is available.

As for the water, swimming in the lake is supervised and paid from 27 June to 30 August 2026, from 9:30am to 7pm, with free but unsupervised access from 7pm to 11pm. It is prohibited the rest of the year. Two water parks run by independent operators, the 2,500 m² Aqua Fly inflatable course and the Waterjump, with 8 slides and 2 diving boards, open from June to September.

The lake lends itself to many supervised or independent activities. You can hire canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats seating 2 to 5 people. Fishing is done with a float rod, with fly or in the river, and a dedicated brochure details the routes. Touring bikes, electric-assist bikes and rosalies (four-wheeled pedal vehicles) are available for hire; the greenway linking Cornimont to Remiremont allows long bike rides, and waymarked cycling and mountain-bike routes crisscross the area, with the Home Vélo label.

In summer, a free children’s club is reserved for campsite guests during the 2026 school holidays. August 2026 promises a lively programme of open-air concerts, a guinguette evening and karaoke nights, in the centre of Saulxures-sur-Moselotte and at the leisure park. The children’s play areas remain accessible all year round.

Around the lake, footpaths and a picnic area allow for long walks, and the wildlife and flora of the Vosges can be discovered at your own pace. The massif has many ski resorts in the surrounding area, useful for those staying in winter, while Gérardmer, La Bresse and Remiremont offer visits and heritage to discover.
