Anyone know any cheap campsite nearby ?
Last year most were full in Bourg D'Oisans, it was the day after the TDF. Looking to be less then 15 E a night.
We stayed at one in Allemont, which isn't that far out of bourg, just opposite the carpark. Was €11 a night for a camper can in August last year with free wifi.
Thanks, will check it out.
Camping La Piscine is right at the bottom of Alpe D'Huez. Not sure of the price though.
Stayed here a few times:

Reasonably priced and a short pedal to the lift. Bonus of finishing every day with one of the best descents in the Alps.
This is smaller campsite over the bridge btw.

Stayed at camping La Piscine 3 yrs ago. Good spot, clean, nice pool. Going again in July, it's about 90 euros for a week iirc.
Stayed here on more than one accassion - [url= http://www.champ-du-moulin.com/en/welcome.html ]Excellent Campsite Link[/url]
About 500 yds to chair lift, good, clean facilities and right by the river. Awesome downhill (Venosc red run) to the chair / campsite
Stayed at Ferme Noeme, just outside Bourg D'Oisans, ok, bit pricey. Also stayed at the smaller campsite at Venosc, better ambiance and views.
Lots of brake bumps on the smaller side of Deuxs Alpes runs. Spoiled those routes. The THUIT and LA FEE runs were immense though, on the other alp. Long technical scenic routes.
Alp D'Huez although very good - hardly any brake bumps - has shorter routes.
We ended up going to -
Vars - very quiet, dry, Petite Vallon red - Enduro - 6-12inch wide natural singletrack for over an hour, one of the best routes Ii have evr done outsode the Ax LEs Thermes routes.
Les Orres - reliably good, well maintained and quiet
Deuxs Alpes - nice long routes but brake bumps spoiled some blue/green routes.
Alp D'Huez - very good, smooth trails, lovely blue descent down to Huez.
Val D'Isere/Tignes - cold and wet so no riding, free uplifts.
We were also multi pitch climbing, via-ferrata and snowboarding (les duexs alpes 3300m on the glacier) as we travelled about.
If driving down like we did, stop in Belgium 1.3E a ltr and fill right up in Luxembourg 1.01E a ltr. That's for diesel.
Camping La Piscine is slightly more expensive but a great site, we had a nice time there.
I stayed at La Pisicne for two years, both to watch the TDF. They were full (complet) so put us on the volleyball grass.
