This year we stayed at a fab campsite and next door was the most wonderful, enormous and EMPTY swimming pool...in peak season!
Water slide, jetty, grassy banks, v clean,
As it was next door to the campsite, it was also free. Totally different to a busy campsite and...Kids loved it.
So am I missing a trick?
Are there other fab campsites next or near to fab municipal swimming pools?
Please share!

Camping Nantes - visitors have free entry to big leisure centre swimming pool across the road - open all day in school holidays but in term time you have to work round the times when local schools have bookings.
I’ll second Montbard. Son says best pool he’s been to and he’s been to a lot! Lovely restaurant in town too, delicious pizzas! I did a review of the site a couple of yrs ago.

So were these pools busy? The pool next door to Slow Camp was empty and made it so much more enjoyable.
Plus the campsite was cheaper than our usual 4-5 star sites we normally book.
Any more sites, please share...
When we are at Camping Domaine de Gill at Ucel near Vals Les Bains in the Southern Ardeche, we noticed a large municipal pool on the short walk from the campsite to Vals Les Bains.
There are a couple of videos on YouTube
Piscine Municipale de Vals-les-Bains

why not put the price of the site on aswell for reference?
Because it depends on number of people, number of dogs, age of children and time of year - you can see the prices on each campsite's website or in your ACSI book.
