Is the water clean at Plage Camping Bellevue?
Plage Camping Bellevue is a lake bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Not classified for the 2025 season — not enough samples in this year to assign an official rating. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Showers, Toilets, and Beach bar. There's parking about ~200 m from the beach.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find a cooler sea but a quieter beach. That rating has been consistent: every one of the 9 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The nearest town, Saint-Alban-de-Montbel, is about ~900 m away.
Worth remembering: “Not classified” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Savoie. There are 6 places to eat within a kilometre — Auberge du Sougey is the closest, about ~200 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is Plage Camping Bellevue safe to swim in?
Plage Camping Bellevue's official 2025 rating is Not classified, which is why local advisories and posted flags are worth checking before swimming.
What temperature is the sea at Plage Camping Bellevue right now?

That's the reading right off Savoie. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When does Plage Camping Bellevue have the warmest water?
For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. That applies to the water around Savoie. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Who measures the water quality rating, and how?
It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Plage Camping Bellevue.

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Saint-Alban de Montbel, about ~540 m away. The nearest town is Saint-Alban-de-Montbel, about ~900 m away.
