What customers say

This peaceful woodland spot's a ripper near a big lake with bike paths and beaches. Folks loved the friendly staff, tidy pool and shady spots. Showers are warm. Pitches can vary and the ground's a bit tough for pegs. Can get busy on weekends.

Grace S.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked Good location to access the lake. Pool is good for toddlers & clean.

Disliked Poor pitches for tents - all on hills of around 8-10% gradient and gravel. Site is under construction - with early starts and late finishes. Confusion with pitch allocation. Had a very poor experience with the ‘restaurant’ 40 minutes before someone acknowledged us & then it took 2 hours for 2 pizzas & 2 drinks on a Wednesday!? Drinks orders were wrong and we were charged for the more expensive options - very disorganised ordering system & staff were flappy and dismissive. Staff were not able to cope in what they claim, and know, to be ‘peak season’ (the site was probably half full). Half expected us to be caught by Gordon Ramsey filming Hell’s Kitchen!! Toilet blocks only cleaned first thing in a morning and water is cold by mid day. Generally dirty camping areas - previous occupant had left cigarette butts on our pitch. Booked an electric pitch, were offered one with out electric… went on a walk round the site with a one year old to try and find a free spot - found one. 1/6 of the electric ports worked & we woke up one morning to our fridge being off. Noisy campsite with late night noise from a huge party that arrived - 8/9 pitches including family tents, boats on the backs of additional cars & their own gazebo of around 25ft in length!

Rob B.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked The check-in process was clear and simple and we were straight to our pitch.

The entertainment at the restaurant was somewhat like a scene from Phoenix Nights. I suspect a family business, with Uncle first up on rock guitar stretching his talents to the max, followed by grandad, a seasoned pro on the accordion, playing a range of international classics and charming the locals. Not to be missed.

Disliked The toilet block was mixed, pretty unsavoury and hot water limited late at night. The memory of a late night cold shower, with the incredibly intense smell of stale urine filling my nose will be something that never leaves me. If I close my eyes and imagine it I can still taste it.

Loic H.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked Great location, right next to a big lake with a beach and boat hire.

Disliked We were greeted at reception by someone saying that our caravan was too long and that we wouldn't be able to stay. Pitch up states no twin axles however our caravan is a single axle. In the end they let us go on a pitch and we managed to fit the caravan on it. Secondly, as another reviewers points out, there are no dedicated water points. This is really weird. However the pitch was nice, the swimming pool great and generally enjoyed the stop over!

2 bedroom static caravan

Liked The Lake

Disliked On arrival, I was told I had to pay a €90 cash deposit. I never carry cash and asked to pay by card—refused. I explained again I didn’t have cash, so he demanded my driving licence instead. It was buried in the boot under all our luggage and bikes, and when I said it would take a while to get to, his arrogant response was, “You’ve got all day.” Unbelievable attitude.

A member of our group had to deal with him because I refused to waste any more time. The furniture in the caravan was filthy, marked, and ripped. Overall, a terrible first impression and an even worse welcome.

Liked Camping familial et convivial . Nous avons apprécié notre séjour, en tente. Gérants du restaurant sympathique. Personnel serviable .Nous y avons tres bien mangé .Piscine et sanitaires propres. Le camping est proche du lac .Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Disliked Nous avions demandé un emplacement avec prise de courant. Il y avait deux prises prévues pour les deux emplacements tentes mais nous étions 3 familles à s’ y brancher. En effet, les propriétaires d’ un camping car situé a proximité y ont branché une rallonge en permanence .

Local attractions

Athletic families will find much to keep them on their toes. You can circumnavigate Lac du Der by bike, rollerblade or on foot along the 38-km multi-use path, adding on an optional extension for cyclists to Vitry-le-François, with its fine Italianate town centre, or Saint-Dizier (both just over an hour by bike), for a meander around the impressive 17th-century ramparts. If you’re chasing still more activity, there’s a treetop adventure course at the sports centre in lakeside Giffaumont-Champaubert (10 minutes’ drive), where you can also learn to sail dinghies, kayak out onto the lake or play hotly contested games of pétanque. When the energy levels of your offspring are waning, they’ll appreciate the chance to cuddle goats, llamas and cute Valais Blacknose sheep at the Ferme Pédagogique du Grand Der (10 minutes). And should you feel like following more grown-up pursuits, Vitry-le-François is the gateway to tastings in the champagne vineyards of the Côteaux Vitryats.
