Vom Platzbetreiber: un grand merci à vous !!

Positiv large plots with privacy ( hedging), helpful owners, great location for a trip to Monet's garden or an hours train into Paris from the local station (10 mins drive )
Used as a two night stopover on our way home from Pyrenees. Would use again.

Negativ The amenity block lights going out seconds after lighting up (Motion sensors ) Turning a shower into a bit of a weird experience.

Positiv Not our usual more basic rural campsite, but having all the facilities was great and very welcome at this point of our travels. It’s in an interesting area and we enjoyed exploring. A wander around the site revealed the banks of the River Seine! and there is a cycle path which takes you out into the surrounding countryside. The food and cider went down well at the end of the day. Great washrooms too.

Positiv We stayed on VIP pitch with own facilities which was overlooking a meadow and the hills which was lovely. The site has a cycle route running through it giving excellent access to the Seine Vilo route. We used this to cycle both directions along the Seine. The Chateau has a nice terrace area which was good to sit and drink wine or beer and the Pinsa was great. The dog Tao was uninterested in the visitors. Gaillard Chateaux is within a nice walking distance we did a circular walk up through the forest and back along the cycle route. Les Anderleys is a nice town with grocery shops available

Negativ Our pitch was lovely however was let down through lack of weeding (lots of thistles) and mowing of lawn although the mowing did get done whilst we were there. The walk to the washing up area was about half a mile round trip and the bins were nearly round trip from our pitch. It would be worth thinking about adding additional bins or facilities down this end of the site. It wasn’t an issue but would have been if weather was bad.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your compliments.
Allow me to explain a few things:
Regarding weed control, all treatments are now banned in France, and even more so in rural areas. We are now moving towards more natural methods and doing away with lawns everywhere. We will have to tolerate weeds!
As for trash, the trucks only collect it from one location. If we put trash cans all over the campground, we will attract animals and odors, and we cannot collect trash every day. All you have to do is drop them off by car when you go for a walk or something else. Garbage is becoming a major social problem, and each of us must make an effort and soon start composting so that we have almost no waste! For us, garbage is a major concern.
Thank you for accepting these few explanations in good spirit.
See you soon.

Positiv Probably one of the best sites we have stayed on. In terms of friendly welcoming site owners, it really does not get any better than this. The site is large, but all the pitches are very good, private and quiet.
The owner works extremely hard to make stay as good as it can be.
With a small bar, and a home made pizza service between 18:30 and 20:30, a resistance pool, hot tub, tennis courts (full list on the site) this really is highly recommended. Fantastic stay.
The owner could not have done more to make us feel welcome.

Negativ Absolutely nothing negative to say about this site. Highly recommended.

Vom Platzbetreiber: merci pour vos remarques , nous vérifierons car en principe il y a une petite poubelle pour les déchets de l' évier mais pour les poubelles autres et plus importante c' est a l' entrée du camping
au plaisir de vous revoir

Positiv The owners were very friendly, the toilet block very clean, the site in general was fantastic, large private pitches set in a beautiful location. Bar, pizza, games room all a bonus. I'll be coming back for a longer stay rather than just a one night stop off en route elsewhere.

Positiv Beautiful setting with mature planting creating lots of provacy. Park runs down to the river which is framed by weeping willows. Large pitches, large play area for the children and well stocked area of board games and free table football and pool for older children. Friendly team and very delicious locally made 'ready meals' you can buy. I wish we had stocked up on all of them. Clean toilets and showers. Great.

Negativ very little! The golf was a little tired but overall a very charming site. Hard to find any
