Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Absolutely nothing

Disliked: I normally only do positive reviews. This is because I accept that site operators generally try hard and sometimes things just don’t click. However, I am simply astounded by the high reviews given to this site. It is horrendous. The site looks nothing like the photos. Pitches were cramped, consisted of mud and water pools (it had been raining but there was evidence that a lot were due to potholes and uneven pitches.) The buildings were tatty and there was an area that looked like it consisted of permanent residents. In places there was trash strewn about, scrap van left rotting, decrepit caravans everywhere and, generally a very unpleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, we paid in full before we got to see the site but were so unhappy we left immediately without trying for a refund. We found a fabulous site just 8 miles away so please do not book here. Pitchup may want to look into the reviews submitted for this place as it has clearly been in decline for years. Accurate and honest reviews are essential to the ongoing value of the website.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked: Nice flat pitches with big bushes between each giving some privacy. Good showers and toilets and a friendly service on arrival. Convenient when travelling down the west coast of France.

Liked: Absolutely lovely campsite, showers and toilets were clean and well stocked. Lovely pool and facilities to keep family occupied. Host was brilliant and looked after us, loved seeing the chickens roaming around. We ate at the restaurant which had plenty of choice and was cooked well. I would definitely recommend.

Liked: Only stayed one night but it was fine. The showers and toilets were lovely and clean and the water hot. The staff on reception were nice and spoke quite good English and we ordered bread for the following morning which was absolutely delicious. Met all our needs.

Local attractions

Fably ancient Nantes, once the capital of ancient Brittany (and felt by many still to be its true capital) is an excellent option for a few day trips, to its famed Château des Ducs de Bretagne with the city's history museum; the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul; the medieval Bouffay district and the museum of Jules Verne. (If your tastes are more modern, stroll among the swish boutiques of the nineteenth century Passage Pommeraye.) The Camping La Pindière team insists that the city's Jardin des Plantes de Nantes is also a must, the botanical gardens and tropical greenhouses spread over seven hectares and covering three centuries of botany built up by sailors bringing seeds from all over the globe. Animal fans have much to keep them entertained in the region too, such as the underwater tunnel at the huge aquarium Océarium in Croisic, the Planète Sauvage animal park in Port-Saint-Père, La Boissière du Doré zoo and the Sealand Aquarium in Noirmoutier.
