Liked: Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay here due to our ferry being cancelled due to storm conditions
Disliked: As requested by PitchUp, we emailed the site direct in an attempt to change our booking but unfortunately, despite also checking junk mail, it seems we didn’t receive a reply or acknowledgment

From the manager: Bonjour, Votre mail était arrivé dans notre dossier SPAM. Nous sommes désolés de n'avoir pu vous répondre à temps surtout qu'une modification de réservation est tout à fait possible chez nous. La prochaine fois (comme dans n'importe quel établissement) n'hésitez pas à téléphoner avant de laisser un mauvais avis faisant chuter la moyenne de celui-ci sans y avoir séjourné... Belle journée à vous. Cordialement.

Liked: It is a really peaceful site. Large and lots of space as not very busy so very quiet on a morning etc. We looked out onto the fishing lakes and we walked around them often. This kids (age 7&10) really liked it. Super U incredibly close to handy and loads of good bike rides around, we went up to the local forest and made dens one day. Snack bar friendly and full of locals so must be good food although I didn’t eat in there. Got a good coffee in the morning and people that run it are really friendly. Washing machine and dryer available to use. We went to Saumur one day (20mins) and to a outside lake for swimming (20mins). Cycled around the area and Mouliherne 10 mins away has a great fishing lake for walks and playground where we caught crayfish.
Disliked: It is a peaceful campsite so not for those with kids that want activities. It is not an expensive site and that is reflected in the showers/toilet area. They are fine and hot strong showers but the area is a bit rough around the edges.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We planned to stop over for one night near the beautiful town of Saumur on our trip back up to Calais. Initially we were a bit dubious on arrival as the site was fairly empty. However we shouldn’t have worried. Really friendly staff, good roads to and from Saumur for a “large” caravan and close to the M/way. Weather was dreadful otherwise there are nearby lakes to walk around and a lovely village. Facilities more than adequate, we would use again.

Liked: Really lovely spot for a stopover. We were the first visitors of the season so had the entire field to ourselves! A lovely gentle stroll in the evening around the two fishing lakes, the smell of freshly cut grass and no sound but the birdsong that was still going at nearly midnight :) Practicalities: good access to electricity & all the functional needs for the motorhome, an excellent disabled shower/toilet, didn’t use the other toilet/shower block but everything was very clean. Petrol station & small supermarket a few minutes walk along the road. Also a health centre if needed! Quite close to the main road so guessing could get noisier on a work day - we were there Sunday night of a Bank Holiday weekend so didn’t get any traffic disturbance at all. And Michael, the English site owner, is lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful! He’s not on site though so best to book in advance & contact him via his mobile - don’t just turn up on the off chance (out of high season, at least.)
Disliked: Nothing.
