Liked De fantastische plek met buitenkeukentje. Het heerlijke eten van Nadja de gezelligheid van Kurt en Nadja samen. Het verse stokbrood en crossaint's. De lieve honden Bruce en Ozzy en de poesjes. Het hangbuikzwijn Barbara mag zeker niet ontbreken. De gezellige huiskamer waar je wat kan drinken en spelletjes kan spelen. Ik kan wel doorgaan, maar eigenlijk moet je er heen om te ervaren hoe sereen het daar is. Heerlijk zwembad, leuke uitstapjes kunnen maken. En niet te vergeten de overheerlijke zelfgemaakte perzikken confiture van Nadja en Kurt of de vijgen/pruimen. Wij komen zeker terug.

Liked Pretty campsite with secluded pitches, which you can self select. Clean toilet and shower block with hot water. Large above ground pool to cool off in.

We loved the dogs and Barbara the pig. We have a chocolate Labrador at home so it was nice for the kids to have dogs to cuddle.

We ate a gorgeous dinner at the campsite one night, on a long table with other guests. A few of us finished the meal with a pétanque match!

You can have breakfast on site in the bar area or just get freshly cooked croissants to eat at your tent.

We went to La Vallée de Singes whilst we were there. They have so many different monkeys, so it’s worth a visit.

It’s a good campsite to stop off at on the way to/from the South.

Liked 10/10 – The Perfect Campsite Experience

We’ve just returned from what can only be described as a truly memorable stay. From the moment we arrived, Kurt and Nadia made us feel incredibly welcome—like we were visiting old friends rather than just checking into a campsite. Their hospitality sets this place apart.

The site itself is stunning: peaceful, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully set up for guests to relax and enjoy their time outdoors. The showers were spotless with great water pressure (a rare find at many campsites!), and the food was genuinely fantastic—homemade, fresh, and shared with real care.

One of the highlights was the sense of community they’ve created. We instantly felt part of the family, not just with Kurt and Nadia but also with their wonderful collection of animals. Sharing space with their friendly dogs, the cats, and of course, Barbara the pig, made the experience even more special.

This campsite is a rare gem and one we’ll definitely return to. If you’re looking for somewhere with heart, warmth, and outstanding facilities, this is it.

Liked There are not enough words to describe how fabulous the site, the facilities and more importantly the hosts.

It is a well run family business with guests not wanting for anything including conversation after dinner.

It is well worth a visit.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Local attractions

When the kids hear about the 4D rides and IMAX screens at Futuroscope (50 minutes’ drive), you probably won’t get a moment’s peace until you agree to spend the day there. Animal-mad youngsters may well love the free-ranging primates at La Vallée des Singes monkey sanctuary (20 minutes), and you can sneak in a history lesson when visiting the Grottes du Chaffaud (15 minutes), where prehistoric bones and tools have been found. Need to work off energy? Head for the waterslides at lakeside Plan d’eau de Saint-Macoux (five minutes), or go kayaking on the Charente River from Ruffec (10 minutes). If you hit a rare cooler day, distract the kids with laps of the indoor pool at Oda Aquatic Centre (15 minutes). For a tour of Poitou-Charentes towns and villages start off in riverside Verteuil-sur-Charente (15 minutes), dominated by its castle, and then hit the 12th-century abbey and half-timbered houses of Nanteuil-en-Vallée (20 minutes). Historic Angoulême (45 minutes) is worth a day trip for its stunning medieval architecture, while Poitiers (50 minutes) has an ancient baptistry, gothic-era cathedral and works by Rodin in the Musée Sainte-Croix.
