Our Values
At Le Vaugrais, every moment is a precious moment, and every holiday is an adventure in itself. Here, you will never be just another number, but a person in your own right, a member of our extended family. Hélène and Pierre, the owners, are dedicated to providing you with an exceptional holiday. It’s no mirage: in our small structure, we do everything we can to make sure your holiday is perfect, even if it means long, intense days.
We know that these moments are long-awaited, that they are the fruit of your dreams and plans. That’s why we go to great lengths to make sure everything is just right. Every detail counts: from the warm welcome to the quality of service, we’re here to meet your needs, to give you the best advice, and to make sure your children have fun in complete safety.
Yes, we have a small team, but it’s 100% dedicated. We’re there, on the ground, every step of the way. There’s no room for inaction: every moment is optimised to make your experience a unique memory. We respond quickly to your requests, but like any family that deserves a break, the lunch break is sacred to us. It’s a time to rest, to unwind, to recharge our batteries, so that we can better welcome and serve you.
Lighting at the campsite :
Our outdoor lighting is entirely solar-powered, because we believe that nature should shine without impacting your energy budget! Thanks to this ecological solution, you’ll enjoy softly lit evenings while preserving the environment. It’s our way of saying that even at night, we’re still responsible. So let the stars align while our street lamps do their job! Inside the sanitary facilities, and in all our accommodation, lighting is provided by LED bulbs.
Pruning on the campsite:
Our campsite benefits from a beautiful canopy, offering a natural setting thanks to our large trees. Every winter, Pierre trims, cuts and maintains the trees. A professional tree trimmer inspects the morphology of the trees and removes the most dangerous branches to ensure safety. The shredded branches are used as mulch for trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. This prevents the proliferation of weeds and conserves soil moisture. We are committed to respectful management of our environment.
Mulching on the campsite :
I’m pleased to inform you that since 2024, I’ve been mulching my lawns, a reasoned mowing method that’s both economical and ecological. By mowing frequently, I no longer need to go back and forth to empty the grassbox. The grass clippings left on the ground serve as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil. Thanks to mulching, we can all contribute to sustainable gardening that respects nature.
Le Vaugrais campsite has the“Qualité Tourisme” label, the guarantee of a comfortable stay in the heart of nature, at the best value for money. The guarantee of a successful and unforgettable holiday in the Bugey region.
