This is the best site I have stayed at. The facilities are so good and very clean. The pitches are large and well looked after. The children’s playground is like no other I’ve seen - just wonderful! Huge chess game for outside, trampoline, outdoor gym equipment and more boxed games than I’ve seen in a shop for rainy days. Located within walking distance to a small but lovely village with a bakery, butchers, restaurants and a chateau that is open to the public.

It is impossible to improve this site - it is absolutely excellent!

Everything about this campsite is wonderful Lydie and Bruno the owners, go out of their way to ensure that your stay is fantastic. Everything is so clean and so well organised. The heated shower block is great and all facilities are to hand. Reception is great too and provides everything you might need. Attractive campsite with walks along the river.Many thanks to Bruno for helping us get off the pitch after the torrential rain that we had for 2.5 days!

Maybe water at the pitch side for a motorhome, but it wasn't really a problem

This is a lovely ,lovely campsite, we were on a terrace above the river, the reception is great as are the owners. Bread and croissants available every day. The toilets and showers were really, really good and everything wes so clean. Clearly the campsite owners want to offer the best possible experience for their guests and they most definitely achieved this aim. I cannot speak too highly of this campsite the best one of our 6 week trip. We would definitely return to this camp site. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious and the river burst it's banks quite spectacularly.

None possible ( apart from the weather) everything was perfect

Accommodation review

Size, and shade ( first day it was very hot)

Would have been nice to have access to water at out pitch but this was not really a problem

A brilliant campsite stayed 2 days and on the first day my wife fell during a walk in the Forrest and badly sprained her ankle. The lady who operates the campsite could not have been more concerned and was so helpful supplying my wife with crutches and an offer to take her to the local hospital. We were so grateful. The campsite itself was very clean and well maintained only the persistent rain was a blemish on our stay. We will hopefully return in the future and enjoy the facilities provided. Again thank you for your kindness during our stay.

Only improvement during our stay would be the weather however,that would be down to the weather gods.
