What customers say
This campsite boasts a superb location close to the beach and Île Madame, offering spacious, often shaded pitches. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the pool is a popular feature. However, many visitors note that the sanitary facilities are dated, require renovation, and some are closed or poorly maintained, with issues like lack of toilet paper. Some guests also experienced noise from neighbouring music.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Prachtige locatie, zwembad is koud maar wel leuk. Kampeerplaatsen zijn vrij ruim en veel opties met schaduw.
Disliked Sanitair. Een aantal sanitaire blokken was buiten gebruik (al geruime tijd) en degenen die wel in gebruik waren zijn echt wel verouderd (slecht sluitende deuren etc), waardoor er veel te weinig toiletten waren voor het aantal kampeerders.

Great over all site, ok 3 star site. Does what it says on the tin.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Pool,
Disliked To get to the restaurant you had to walk around the site, the doors to the short cut were locked, obviously been some sort of fall out, but this is a shame as the campsite would be so much better if they worked together.

This place needs some maintenance, but generally a good stay.
Electric optional grass tent pitch (motorcyclist, no cars)
Liked The pool was nice and clean. Staff were friendly. Pitches are spacious. The location is good for the beach and local village centre. There is a nearby snack bar at the beach and a decent restaurant round the corner.
Disliked Queues for the showers and toilets. This was because many were closed due to disrepair.
