Has anyone been there or in that area in the Summer? I can't find anything here (nor very much elsewhere) - am I mis-spelling? Just looking for a quiet camp site in that area. Cheers.

Maybe one of the above sites will be of help. I`ve looked at the area for skiing hols but we`ve never been as its as quick to get to the Alps where there is more guarantee of snow. Its looks a lovely area to visit in the summer.

Thanks. We eventually didn't get to stay near besse/Super-Besse although we drove up to Lake Pavin for a stroll and to see other sites. We stayed at Le Mont Dore which is central for that area. We would have had no difficulty finding places near Besse (or in that whole area) there seemed to be sites about every 1-2 kilometres along the road. Great area for walking - in the summer!

The area is great. Although I avoided the le Mont Dore campsite for a long time as in the long past hygiëne there was not good. The guardian at that time was a man with only one arm and seeing him handling bucket en mop, that was a problem for thorough cleaning the sanitary facilities. But that was long ago. Le Mont Dore is very good as a basis. Other places with good campsites in the neighbourhood are St Nectaire, Champs sur Tarentaine, nice to keep in mind for coming years.
Don't forget the Cantal area for next holidays.

We stayed in Murol last year and visited Super Besse. A stage of the Tour De france finished there while we were there. Briliant area for walking, sute seeing and very few people around when we were there. Super Besse itself is a bit bleak.

Of course as it's just the winter sports resorts, Besse en Chandesse however is much more interesting. Just see all those medieval houses overthere...

There is now a woman who cleans all the facilities: she does a good job but doesn't hurry - she puts a no-entry sign up at about 1 o'clock (1300 hrs) cleans one cubicle then has a rest; round about 4, on a good day, she has finished .....

stopped off there a couple of years - Lac Pavin, the Puy de Sancy and Puy de Dome are all worth a look.
