What customers say
A spotless, well-run park with a top spot near town, shops, and a train to La Rochelle. Staff are ace, facilities (showers!) are mega clean. A few moans about temp and mozzies, but it's a cracker family base. Manager's on the case for noise/cleanliness.

Perfect 👍
Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Lovely site!
Warm and friendly welcome, choice of pitches in shade and sun.
Our electric cable wouldn't reach the plug in as it was on the next pitch but they couldn't have been more helpful giving us and extension lead to use.
Apart from the fair in the sports ground nearby (which didn't bother us), it was lovely and peaceful.
The showers and toilets were the best we have had so far on our trip. They were spotless!
The cafe/bar and pool weren't open when we visited mid September.
Really good WiFi signal which was a bonus too.
It's in a perfect location with a 5 minute walk to a small supermarket and an amazing boulangerie.
Another 5 minute walk and you are in the town with lovely bars and restaurants.
20 minute walk from the site is the station where we got a train into La Rochelle very easily.
Best campsite we have stayed in so far on our trip!
Disliked Absolutely nothing!

Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Close to Surgeres castle park; quite small and not overcrowded. Toilets and showers were clean.
Disliked Quite noisy at night with traffic noise and it was less of a peaceful rural retreat than we had expected - defininitely not a wildlife haven. Swimming pool was closed due to rainy weather. Showers could have been better - temperature was variable and had to keep pressing the button every 30 seconds or they go off and not much space to put dry clothes and change.

Liked Muziek in de douche en toiletten. Plek had veel privacy
Disliked Het is te keurig, naar onze smaak. Geteerde weggetjes. Veel lawaai van de feestavonden

From the manager: Bonjour
Je trouve votre avis vraiment sévère! Mettre un 3 parce que notre camping est trop propre, c'est un peu fort!
Quant à nos soirées, elles finissent à 22h30! Il n'y a eu qu'une seule soirée avec de la musique pendant votre séjour.... Vous exagérez quand même un peu!!!
Si vous vouliez séjournez au beau milieu des champs, c'est sûr vous n'êtes pas tombés au bon endroit!
Bonne continuation

Liked À 40 minutes de La Rochelle. C'était donc bon pour passer la nuit en chemin.
Disliked Pour nous, c'était bondé et bruyant.
