Great stop over camp site, staff are great!
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Staff were excellent. Really friendly and helpful
Disliked Camp site was tight when towing a caravan . Curbs are high so you are unable to motor move caravans onto pitch so would need to be good at reversing your caravan onto a pitch!

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The helpful and friendly staff
Large pitches - we requested 2 next to eachother. We were saved 2 but we chose our own larger pitches when we arrived oy because our tents are bell and large.
Clean swimming pool and toilets and showers
Washing machine on site
Very quiet
Friendly fellow campers
Quiz night, visiting food trucks and the pool bar open in the afternoons
Sunday morning the kids got to feed the animals at the campsite which they loved.
Walks and fishing along the river
Easy walk into Sable Sur Sarthe - the town is pretty with nice bars, cafes and restaurants
Great location for swimming lakes. Brulon was the closest and had a market, food, live music and classic car show on the eve we visited.
The nicest lake was in Le Fleche which has white sand and a nice snack bar/food truck. Toilets are ok. There's a big play park and shade in the trees. You can hire pedalos, paddleboards and kayaks at all the lakes around €10-14
