Liked Ludovic and his son were very friendly and welcoming. They informed use in a good way upon arrival. And did a small chat with us to get to know us. Lovely campingspot: very quite, 100% in nature, good and clean shower and toilet. I will come back to this place.
From the manager: Thank you so much Bram for your review.
I am always happy to know that my campers enjoyed their stay.
See you soon🙂
Velmi příjemný tichý kemp, pozorný majitel, hygienické zázemí.

Liked Byla jsem extrémně spokojená od začátku až do konce, co se týká komunikace s Ludovicem, majitelem kempu. Kemp je krásný, uprostřed přírody, zcela klidný, měli jsme krásné soukromí. Jsou tu dvě sprchy, dvě toalety, společenská místnost s velkou lednicí, sedačkou, stolem, židlemi, můžete si zahrát šipky. Venku si můžete udělat barbecue. Majitel nás přivítal, ukázal nám co kde je, zodpověděl všechny naše dotazy. Příjezd i odjezd není časově limitován, což nám velmi vyhovovalo. Opravdu skvělé jednání, kterého si velmi cením.
From the manager: Thank you Hana for your review.
I was pleased to meet you and your husband.
I hope I have helped you love France. 🙂
See you soon
An excellent stop if you like a peaceful, quiet stop.

Liked A perfect start to our holiday was the personal greeting from Ludovic the owner. He showed us around the 9 pitch site including the communal building which held a fridge freezer, microwave and sink area. We were the only visitors that day. One loo was inside with a compost loo on the outside of the building. Two excellent showers also present. The hedge rowed site was located in a peaceful area of fields of wheat and maize. The raspberry, blackcurrant and herb garden was free for us to harvest. A good spot away from Le Mans which was the reason why we were there.
Disliked Nothing, the site facilities were better than expected.
From the manager: Thank you Cris for your review.
I was pleased to meet you and to discuss with you.
Thanks to George for the pictures of the campsite!!
See you soon 🙂
Peaceful and tranquil place in the midst of a crazy world.
Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass site
Liked Everything. Saw the reviews on pitch up and thought we would give it a try- very glad we did. Booked for one night but stayed for another.
Perfect tranquil hideaway away from the crazy and crappy world we live in. Our kind of place. Peaceful, small site, but meets the needs for a simple life. Similar to a CL site back in the UK.
Ludovic is a great host, friendly and helpful but gives you space to chill and enjoy the quiet. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area. Really enjoyed our time here. Thank you.
Disliked Having to leave.
From the manager: Hello Becki.

Lovely site and excellent host; great location for Le Mans
Le petit hêtre fully-serviced grass site
Liked Ludovic was extremely friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent English. The site was lovely and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside, with good clean facilities including water, electric, showers and toilets, and a communal fridge, and a pretty village nearby. It is close to Le Mans and I even saw my first water vole. We would definitely stay again

Liked L'accueil et la gentillesse du propriétaire, le calme absolu.
Disliked Les quelques toiles d'araignée par si, par la dans les sanitaires.
From the manager: Bonjour Yannick.
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de mettre un commentaire.
Ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer pendant ce week-end des 24H du Mans.
Pour les toiles d'araignées, certaines ont dû m'échapper, c'est un axe de progrès pour moi, afin de rendre votre séjour encore plus agréable la prochaine fois.
A bientôt!
