Saint Jory De Chalais, Dordogne, France
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked As everyone says… we really liked the deep pool, the great pizzas, the quietness, the friendly bar, the big pitches, the clean toilets, the cheap washing machine…
Disliked We left early because my teenagers were restless. They said the field was great but the climbing frame is very wobbly and in need of attention. (Étang de St Esteph was ok but you needed to prebook the paddleboards on a busy day).
They both really stressed about the toilet and shower locks not working.
I’d have loved to have other food on offer as well as pizza..
The WiFi only works near the bar.

Saint-Nazaire-sur-Charente, Charente-Maritime, France
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly campsite which does (almost) everything well. There’s a good bar and small shop, both open in mornings and evenings, with great pizzas - and they have fresh bread 7 days a week too.
Nice balance of a lively restaurant but dead quiet by 11pm
The kids loved the swimming pool.
The facilities are generally good and everything is clean.
The location is lovely- shops, sea and sunsets a short drive away.
Disliked There wasn’t quite enough for my teenagers to do. They suggested more ‘space’ for them - more outdoor seating in the top corner perhaps?...
The pitches are quite small and the neighbours are pretty close.
There is no soap in the toilet blocks.. which I always find a bit grim 😬

Descartes, Indre-et-Loire, France
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Great location en route.
Nice to be in a town.
Swimming pool is a real bonus.
Good price
Large pitches
Disliked The cockerels ! At 3.23am ..then regularly until dawn. Just unnecessary, next to a campsite in town.
I’d been woken by a camper van coming in at midnight too.
So a really disturbed night.

Zas, La Coruna, Spain
Electric optional grass and earth tent pitch
Liked We came by accident as the north coast was absolutely fully booked.
It’s a fantastic location for exploring this area,
As others have said, it’s well organised with friendly knowledgeable staff and clean toilet blocks …
Disliked We found it rather over-engineered, with a lot of gravel, too much lighting for our tastes, and too much security fencing.
I suspect it’s designed for keeping motorhomes secure, but it’s odd to have closed gates everywhere. (The tent pitches are outside the security fence and the toilets are inside, for example, in the brightly lit gravel area).
I also struggled with the dog walking area and the lovely kids woodland /stream play area being essentially the same place. It’s hard to let kids roam free when there are big dogs also roaming free..
(It’s so close to working … maybe just would be an idea to separate those areas )

From the manager: Dear Angela, We are very sorry for the inconviences regarding the upper toilet block! Unfortunately, our regular cleaning fairy was ill and her replacement was apparently not satisfactory. =( Cleanliness is very important to us so that this is really a no-go! Since Martin and me were also sick we couldn't control the work of the temporary cleaning person and none of the guests gave us a feedback. What a pity! :( Again, we are really sorry! Furthermore, we are grateful that you still appreciated the rest of your stay and hope to be able to welcome you again one day! <3 All the best for you, Martin and Jana
Chalandray, Vienne, France
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Fantastic site which does all the detail well. Stayed twice as long as we planned to!
Outstanding in the provision for older kids.
Owners relaxed but attentive.
Best campsite showers ever, clean toilets, food and drink offerings perfect. Swimming pool is great .
Loved how the sports and games are nearly all free, and balls and equipment provided.
It’s extremely good value for money and lots of extras are included free (Wi-Fi, water cooler, etc)
Huge tent pitch with lots of shade.
Sociable bar area but site was quiet after 11ish.
Disliked We struggled a little with finding things to do in the area .
Also the road noise was annoying when the site is so peaceful.

Sainte-Suzanne, Mayenne, France
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked Beautifully quiet with really attentive new hosts.
Just enough to do - with great swimming pool, kids playground, local walks and a small bar on site in the early evening.
Disliked I hadn’t noticed on the website that the pool is shut on Mondays - even in August…
Also the 11am leave time seems unnecessarily stressful. I’d happily swap a later depart time for a later arrival (2pm, say).

From the manager: We thank you for this review. And yes, the swimming pool is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., until September 1st. For the departure time, at 11 a.m., this allows us to maintain the pitches and avoid mowing during meal time. This does not prevent you from continuing to enjoy the campsite's facilities for the day, such as the swimming pool. I'm looking forward to seeing you again !
Sainte-Suzanne, Mayenne, France
Electric grass and earth pitch
Liked We loved the area and the campsite was friendly and well maintained.
Disliked Note the swimming pool staff enforce the French rule about men and boys wearing Speedo’s (no baggy shorts). You can buy them at SuperU in Evron.

Fabrezan, Aude, France
Electric optional hardstanding tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The staff were all really friendly and welcoming .
The children loved the water slides.
We really appreciated the owners’ commitment to closing the bar after the entertainment, so that the children could get to bed.
The toilet block was cleaned regularly and the facilities were all good (bar, bread delivery, laundry etc)
Disliked We struggled a little with camping on hard standing. I would have preferred the tent pitches to be a bit further away from the bar etc. It was very hot when we were there so I was glad we had asked for a shady pitch.

Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset, England
Electric grass touring pitch (no pets)
Liked Playground was open
Swimming pool was open
Disliked Layout seemed unnecessarily dangerous, with the main drive right by the playground.
The swimming pool booking system was very dubious. Every user (age 5 and over) needed their own email address.
Road noise kept us awake.
