Great stay, lovely staff and beautiful small site.
Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked Lovely small site on a beautiful lake. Arrived in our VW crafter, stayed for two nights. We brought our own paddle boards. €9 to use the lake by scanning the QR code on the sign.
Disliked Toilets - unisex, common in France however, urine all over the toilet seat each time I visited the WC.
Would highly recommend having male and female toilets - a simple sign on the doors. I shouldn't have to clean urine from the seat.

Min opplevelse på campingplassen Le Calatrin juli 2025.
Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked Veldig fornøyd med renholdet i både toalett og dusj-områdene.
Personalet som jobbet der, var vennlige og hjelpsomme.
aller best var innsjøen som ligget like ved campingplassen, der det var en fantastisk fin badestrand der.
Vannet i innsjøen var krystalklart/rent.
Disliked Teltplassen som vi hadde, var bart, uten trær som kunne gi oss litt skygge gjennom dagen der solen var ganske varm.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hei Mahmod,
Tusen takk for tilbakemeldingen! Vi er glade for at dere satte pris på renholdet på toaletter og dusjer, vår velkomst og den vakre innsjøen med den flotte badestranden.
Vi tar også til oss kommentaren deres om teltplassen og mangelen på skygge. Noen av våre plasser har trær, og vi håper dere kan benytte en slik plass neste gang dere besøker oss.
Vi ser frem til å ønske dere velkommen igjen!
Med vennlig hilsen,
Léonie & Valentin
Nice site on a lake
Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked Location right on the lake
Disliked No swimming but beach 5 min away
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Paul,
Thank you for your feedback.
Indeed, swimming is not allowed directly from the campsite as the lake is private and the rules are set by the Lake Authority. However, we offer our guests free daily access to a private beach located just 5 minutes’ walk from the campsite, which is supervised and equipped for safe swimming.
We’re glad you enjoyed the location right on the lake, and we hope to welcome you again.
Kind regards,
Léonie & Valentin
