Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Prachtige lokatie tussen de wijnranken. Lekkere wijn meegenomen na de wijnproeverij. Route beschrijving prima. Ik zal deze lokatie zeker nog een keer bezoeken met andere worden een aanrader.
Disliked Niet blij is een groot woord maar jammer dat er geen electra beschikbaar was
Great site, shame about the dog
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Fantastic views and peaceful location with lots of space to pitch. Host very friendly and did a great wine presentation.
Disliked Owners dog comes around constantly and takes food off your table, your cooker and makes a mess of your rubbish bag.
A field
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked The road out.
Disliked It's a field , with a rather primitive wooden century Box as a toilet . Dogs a scavenger and needs to be in a leash , gets aggressive if you deprive it of any food it decides it wants . If we're Pitchup , I'd remove it from my portfolio. It's not worth your 1€ commission.
From the manager: Bonjour,
Je prend bien note de votre remarque et m'excuse du désagrément que vous avez pue ressentir.
Il est bien écris sur l'annonce que le terrain est en herbe (champ) idéalement située si vous souhaitez vous rendre à bordeaux en vélos et avec un panorama exceptionnel, les toilettes sont des toilettes sèche, vidé tous les jours, elle sont Basic mais propre.
Mon chien est en liberté car à la campagne je ne conçoit pas les animaux attaché et il n'a jamais était agressif, un peux collant car il aime voir de nouvelle personne pour obtenir des caresses, il est préférable de venir me voire si vous le trouvé dérangent, il est attaché si une personne me le demande, je ne pence pas vous avoir reçus pour me le demandé sinon ça aurais était fait, je suis la pour que vous passiez un moment agréable, chose que je m'efforce de faire, le camping est nouveaux j’essaie de faire au mieux pour satisfaire les campeurs.
vous souhaitant un agréable voyage et dans l’espoir que les futures emplacement que vous trouverez soit à la hauteur de vos exigence.
Bien cordialement.

Liked Quiet, basic campsite, exactly what we were looking for as a one night stop over on the way from Dieppe to Spain.
Thank you to the friendly owner for the offer to draw a map showing the shortcut to the town so that I could get breakfast in the morning. In the end we slept late and moved on straightaway.
Definitely a place to return.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked Stayed overnight by the vineyard. The view was lovely.
Disliked After the positive reviews, we were disappointed. The option of hiring a barbecue was flagged on the site but when we asked we were put off as the owner had to attend to other customers, which turned out to be one other couple. In the event we didn’t get the barbecue.
The wine tasting was ok; he is clearly an enthusiast. However, the quality was not quite as expected and the price when the overnight stay on a patch of grass and the tasting was included meant we paid a lot for rather ordinary wine.
Beautifully basic

Liked Bernoit was the perfect host and it was fascinating to hear his family history on the vineyard. Delicious wines - we bought several boxes.
On arrival, we did find the ‘facilities’ highly amusing: A sentry box all on its own. However the compost toilet worked perfectly well and was nowhere near as bad as we had feared. All good.
Disliked Just an observation rather than a dislike…. Caesar his dog is beautiful, well behaved & friendly. We are dog people. However, we were unable to eat outside as he was trying to get to our food, so 4 of us crammed into our T5 was a little cosy, and a bit of a shame as we’d rather sit outside and eat. Two ladies next to us were getting very frustrated with him and I think he nicked the food from their stove.
Warm welcome and wine tasting…

Liked Warm welcome and wine tasting
Fantastic site
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Stunning site, very open and great being next to the vineyard. Wine tasting was excellent and the host was very welcoming and we enjoyed hearing the history of the vineyard whilst drinking fantastic wine. Would definitely stay again.
Disliked The dog, whilst friendly, stole our trash bag and ripped it to shreds. Would have been 5/5 if it wasn’t for that.
Very good value for having our own personal campsite & wine tasting.

Liked Relaxed, quiet & lovely views overlooking the vineyards. Wine tasting was great & cleverly done using Google translate so no language barriers.
Even loo was fine for a compost one...plenty room & no smells.
Disliked Nothing
Great place to stop.
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked What a beautiful place for a stay. This area is very peaceful and stunning views over the vineyard.
We were made most welcome by the host (and his great dog).
The wine tasting is a must and the passion from the owner is inspiring. His wine is fantastic.
This place is a must stop if you are in the area.
