Lovely clean site
Powered grass site
Liked Really liked this site. Toilet block was extremely clean and well appointed. The motorhome/touring pitches are of a good size and you could park your caravan or motorhome sideways on. Water is very near to the pitch, just drain your grey water into the hedgerow. Pitches get the sun all day.
Very safe site, with a coded barrier for access. There is a bar but it is mostly catered for french visitors (we didn't mind this, it seems most of the static caravans there are owned/rented by French). There was a food van on site the first night we were there and the fries were amazing! We had arrived a little late so no other food was available but the other food the van sold looked very good. Supermarket and petrol station a 3min walk away.
Very quiet overnight with no road noise where we were. The site is well kept and cared for by the staff. There is WiFi but this is a paid for facility.
Beach nearby but it is part of the nature reserve and you must keep dogs on a lead on this beach.
Disliked No hand wash or toilet rolls in the toilet block - Take your own.

La promiscuité avec le mobilhome juste derrière notre emplacement.
Le refus du food truck de nous servir car elle avait trop de commande ce samedi soir..

Liked Staff were very helpful
Disliked On the website it states no twin axle vehicles.
We have a twin axle caravan, which is not a vehicle because it is being towed.
They need to make it clear that it is anything with twin axles they cannot accommodate and anything that is much larger than a two berth caravan or a small motor home

From the manager: Hello Sir, Madam,
We have taken your comment into account and are delighted that you have appreciated the friendliness of our team.
The only way to indicate that we do not take double axles on Pitchup is to tick the box: ‘Any vehicle with a double axle is prohibited.’ This rule applies to all equipment, whether motorised or not, for safety and infrastructure reasons.
However, despite your double-axle caravan, we have done our utmost to welcome you in the best possible conditions.
Yours sincerely
Le Clos des Genêts.
Reasonably priced. Found the toilet situation uncomfortable.

Nice bar on site to visit.
Cycling to the beach and town near by was easy with great cycle routes. On site cycle hire if needed too
Supermarket at the end of the road too and petrol station
Disliked First day was cooler than our visit on the way back on our trip so the shower block was slightly cold when showering.
