What customers say
Chilled spot with good staff & sized sites, close to La Rochelle. Facilities are a bit tired though, with some cleanliness niggles. Decent value, but could use a spruce-up.

Liked Bon accueil
Disliked Les emplacements sont loin d'être comme il en est décrit au moment de la réservation, on est un peu les uns sur les autres aucune intimité, les branchements électriques sont loin d'être réglementaire et même dangereux des rallonges électriques raccordées les unes aux autres, à même le sol, difficile de ne pas se prendre les pieds dedans.pour ce qui est de la piscine, elle n'est pas au normes non plus, le sol est en mauvais état,le carrelage est cassé alors, c'est pas sécurisant. La situation géographique " il y a pas de plage" à moins de prendre sa voiture.

Powered grass and earth caravan site
Liked Camping très proche de la Rochelle.
Grande piscine
Disliked Les emplacements sont minuscules et pas délimités. On a l'impression d'être collé les uns aux autres. Peu d'ombre. Pas assez de toilettes et douches par rapport à la taille du camping.
Nous avons pris des douches froides 2 jours d'affilée car pas assez de cumulus d'eau chaude pour enchaîner les douches.
La piscine est grande mais le tour est composé de pierres complètement délabrées
Il y avait un code wifi malheureusement le wifi captait uniquement autour de la réception

2 bedroom static caravan
Liked L'accueil du personnel, le calme du camping malgré que nous sommes pas tombé sur les bons voisins (musique maghrébine du 9h a minuit) et la piscine est un plus même si les tout petits n'ont pied nul part
Disliked Mobil home un peu sale et très froid la nuit, beaucoup d'humidité sur les fenêtres et couette beaucoup trop fine (plus couvre lit que couette). Il faudrait moderniser certaine chose

Powered grass and earth caravan site
Liked Lovely friendly campsite. It is basic, however, it does have a pool and a snack bar. It is really quiet and relaxing, great value for money. The owner has only just taken over the site and has renovation plans.
Disliked Toilet block is adequate, however, the owner has revamp plans. Don't let that put you off.

Le camping offre pas mal de propositions
Mais assez vieillot

Good site just a little tired
Powered grass and earth caravan site
Liked Good size and location to La Rochelle. Very clean and friendly. Shady spots available and good six pitches. Lovely Boulangerie in the village.
Disliked Site’s amenities were tired. But we found out from the owner that it had been a community campsite for some 20 years with different people running it each year. New owners have taken over this season and are slowly working on it. Although tired it’s clean. A few of the toilets became out of action whilst there which caused a bit of queuing in the mornings/evenings . Also not set up for caravan waste when it comes to getting rid of it!
