What customers say
This campsite offers a convenient location within walking distance of Surgeres town centre, shops, and restaurants, with a good train link to La Rochelle. Guests frequently praise the friendly and welcoming staff, as well as the clean and well-maintained facilities. Pitches are generally described as level and tidy, often hedged. Some visitors noted that pitches and manoeuvre areas can be tight for larger vehicles. The swimming pool is considered a pleasant amenity, though some found it small. Noise from nearby events was occasionally mentioned.

Great family site, and a decent stopover too
Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Soir du loto
Disliked Les horaires de piscine fermer de 12 h a 14 heure pas précise ds l annonce sur l a nonce marquer 3 fois par semaine club enfant mais qu il y avait qu une fois . Pas Accueillant. Les habituer faut la loi, les enfant nous pas droit de jouer ds la piscine ça les déranger. Tobbogant danger car y a un seul bassin , nettoyage de la piscine laisser a désirer.

From the manager: A notre tour de laisser un avis...
Clients à bannir de Pitchup!
2 réservations et 2 avis 1étoile.... Vous devriez vous remettre en question cher monsieur!
Tous nos autres avis sont très bons voire excellents...
Lors de votre séjour, tout était sujet à critiquer de toute façon.
Je trouve tout de même un peu fort pour une famille qui ne s'est pas changée une seule fois de la semaine et qui ne prenait pas de douche avant d'entrer dans la piscine, de parler de propreté de notre piscine...
Quant à la fermeture de la piscine entre midi et 2, nous souhaitons préserver la tranquillité de nos clients et de nos voisins pendant la pause méridienne et grand bien nous fasse quand on entendait vos enfants hurler toute la journée dans la piscine (puisque vous passiez vos journées dans notre piscine sale...). Et vous trouvez anormal que les autres clients vous fassent des remarques sur le comportement de vos enfants???
Pour revenir sur les activités enfants (et non pas club enfants), il n'y en avait que 2 cette semaine (zumba et activités manuelles) mais je n'y ai pas vu vos enfants!
Et pour finir, je dirai qu'on a l'accueil qu'on mérite! et j'espère que Pitchup fera le nécessaire pour vous exclure de ses clients!
I would definitely stay here again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely site with pool and bar area ( not fully open as not high season) showers and toilets immaculate. Local U Express for your shopping and Boulangerie within 5 minutes walk then another 5 minutes walk to centre.
Disliked Obviously not the sites fault but the ducks in the river were raving all night and not quietly either 😂😂
Wooden decking by the pool & artificial grass which becomes seriously roasting to walk on, I did end up wearing my flip flops

Excellent campsite in a lovely town.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great location for exploring the local town of Surgeres on foot. A warm welcome to the site, with hedged pitches for tents and campervans. Mixed shower block was clean and in good order. Great little pool and surrounding lounge area. Supermarket and boulongerie just a couple of minutes walk away.
