What customers say
Great campsite by the lake with spacious spots. Friendly staff, good facilities like a bar/restaurant, and plenty for kids. Nice natural setting and swimming lake. Some reckon the loos and showers are a bit old-fashioned, and a few had gripes about noise and bins. Still, a top spot for water sports and exploring!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great location for cycling & a lovely lake
Power optional grass site
Liked The lake and scenery is beautiful.
The food at the restaurant is good.
We stop here for one night on the way down to the south of France every year and we always say we should stay longer.
The man made beach is great.
It’s so beautiful in the morning 🌅
There was a bouncy castle for the kids and live music in the evening.
Disliked No toilet paper in the toilets and they are mixed. I don’t mind but my teenage step daughter felt uneasy about it.

Horrible stay

Liked Nothing
Disliked We arrived 19h30 after reception had closed at 19h00. Reception staff was friendly and helpful and could speak English. That is the only plus for this campsite. We took a wrong turn, got stuck in the mud, it was dark already ~ no campsite lighting, no-one around to show us to our campsite. The bathrooms is horrible, looks clean but stink of urine (so it is really not cleaned for a while), cob webs and spiders are taking over the bathroom ~ I brushed my teeth outside, it was safer!!! No toilet paper and no sign on the door...so I pressume it is a unisex bathroom. The shower stalls has no shelving for your staff so not sure how you will get dressed in it without a stanger of the opposite sex seeing you naked. WILD CAMPING would have been a better option. If you pay for facilities you expect to find clean comfortable showers and at least TOILET PAPER!!!! There appears to be no quiet time in the site, the neighbouring site came home after 23h00 and chatted loudly till almost 01h00. The site is a mud hole!!!!!!!! I will never return and never recommend this place!
