Camping La Ferme, Lake Annecy (Lathuile): free pools and two price ranges
Camping La Ferme in Lathuile sits 800 m to 1 km from Lake Annecy and offers a free pool area all season. A two-bedroom mobile home costs €65 to €245 according to the lake tourist office, €70 to €240 according to Savoie Mont Blanc a night: two close ranges that never quite match.
Camping La Ferme, in Lathuile, sits between lake and mountains, in the heart of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park. Its main selling point, a pool area included in the price of the stay, comes up in every listing consulted.
Here is what the sources document about this family campsite, run by Dominique and Michaël Vilanova, and the points where two official listings do not give quite the same figure.
How far is Camping La Ferme from the lake?
The campsite, at 1170 route de Chaparon, lies 800 m to 1 km from the lake according to the listings consulted, and no single document settles between the two distances. It covers 3.5 hectares, with pitches of 80 to 130 m².
Its setting inside the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park sets it apart from the more urban campsites around Annecy, which are closer to the centre but more densely packed.
When is Camping La Ferme open?
For 2025, the official website and the Lake Annecy tourist office agreed on a season from 24 May to 14 September 2025, seven days a week. Other listings, without giving a year, mention a typical season from 7 May to 13 September, longer than the one announced for 2025.
No source consulted publishes exact dates for the 2022 to 2024 seasons, so there is no way to check whether the season is getting longer or shorter over time.
What does the campsite offer for free?
The pool area, with a heated indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a jacuzzi and a heated indoor paddling pool, is free throughout the opening period. According to the campsite's website, a playground, a bouncy castle, a fitness area, a multi-sports pitch, pétanque courts and table-tennis tables are also free.
Some listings present a wellness area and a spa as free, while massages remain a paid extra with no published price list. The restaurant, bar, grocery shop and launderette are paid for, with no prices available.

Total capacity also varies with the source: the Lake Annecy tourist office counts 100 mobile homes and 100 pitches, while Savoie Mont Blanc lists 30 camping pitches, 50 caravan pitches and 100 bungalows. The categories do not overlap exactly, which explains part of the gap.
What is not published about this campsite?
There are no figures on visitor numbers or on the economic benefit to Lathuile. Nor is there any mention of the tourist tax in the price details, or of the pools getting crowded in high season.
A neighbouring campsite, La Ferme de la Serraz in Doussard, has a similar name but is not the same business: reviews of it do not apply to this one.
To compare with other campsites at the south end of the lake, Camping La Ravoire in Doussard and Camping Sandaya La Nublière cover neighbouring sites, and the Bout-du-Lac nature reserve puts the area in context.
A few minutes from Lathuile, the Bout-du-Lac reserve can be explored on foot or by bike: the Annecy activities page gathers water and outdoor activities, with their duration and price.
