What customers say
This is a very clean and well-maintained campsite with friendly and welcoming owners. It's highly regarded as an excellent stopover location, particularly for channel crossings, and is conveniently close to town and local lakes. Guests praise the clean facilities, including excellent showers. While most experiences are positive, some visitors noted the entrance can be tight for larger vehicles, and a few mentioned the need to purchase shower tokens and bring toilet paper. The manager has acknowledged the feedback regarding toilet paper and stated efforts will be made to improve this.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding pitch
Liked Lovely and welcoming owners. Good pitches with privacy. We had a fully serviced pitch including (unusually) black water disposal. Site very clean and tidy. Likewise the sanitary block equally clean, although as often in France, there no tiolet seats, nor was toilet paper provided. Overall great value for money.
Disliked The only downside is the very tight entrance to the site. We tow a 4 berth single axle caravan and getting out was very awkward and we ended blocking the entrance for 20 minutes as we had to unhitch the van to adjust its position. A 2 berth caravan or sub 3 5 tonne motorhome would be fine We had intended to book 2 nights on our return to the UK, but realised our ferry crossing was too early to risk any delay in leaving we dare not.

Excellent campsite, great facilities & helpful staff.
Electric optional gravel and hardstanding pitch
Liked Lovely grounds within peaceful surroundings. While the campsite facilities (pool & bar) were not open this early in the season we still had an excellent stay, with excellent facilities for washing etc. The gentleman in reception was incredibly helpful & informative, offering to help arrange a vet appointment for our dog if needed for our return to the U.K. We initially booked for 2 nights but decided to extend our stay by another night. There is a handy supermarket 1 mile from the campground & we parked our motorhome in the carpark there without difficulty.
Disliked There is nothing about this site I disliked & we will definitely stay here again.
