Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Mike, we're glad you had a great stay and bon voyage on your adventures.

We do go out of our way to make guests feel as relaxed and as comfortable as possible, thank you for your kind comments.

Regarding our shower/toilet block "aging gracefully" like one guest kindly commented, as we all like to think we are, has it's upgrade/make-over at the end of each year. New showers, taps and lippy etc... are already in storage waiting for Dec/Jan. Throughout the year it does have it's fare share of visitors and it's done us very proud over the last ten years we have been here, it's especially a poke in the eye when people - "who said it would never work" have had to watch us grow VERY successfully more and more each year to their embarrassing chagrin. It's been very much like Marmite, love it or hate it, it works somehow and its quirkiness has become popular and loved, in particular the self contained cubicles where you are simply left alone to do your own thing, no shuffling like miserable cattle from one stall to the next trying to start your day - You're simply in and out and ready to go, ready to roam this beautiful land.

Your concern regarding when we're busy it may cause a wait? Very occasionally, yes, when everyone decides to shower at the same time, but having a little patience and remembering this is camping and not an en-suite room at the Ritz helps with perspective. Plus great news we no longer allow a busy campsite, we prefer a quieter life. We rarely take non-reservations now, so everyone be warned, lol.

I notice your headline for your review is you suggest people to bring a bike, yes, we are roughly 30 minutes (depending on how fast you drive, this is France!) from the city - hoorah! Our camping is very quiet and peaceful. Cycling is hugely popular here, with thousands of return guests every year, enjoying the endless cycle routes flat and a little more testing for the more ambitious/masochistic! Research beforehand is always key to visiting places where ever you holiday - it simply makes the experience better.

It's all one big adventure!

Positiv A lovely friendly site. Excellent pitches and a well stock shop. We arrived on the Monday so unfortunately never got to try the restaurant. Shower and toilets all excellent. Probably the best wifi we’ve had on a campsite. Would definitely return.
