What customers say
Quiet, leafy site with roomy spots, often shaded. Friendly hosts and chill vibe a hit. Pool and snack bar are good, if a bit old-school. Great for nature fans and families wanting peace. Rough track noted, but most loved the calm and welcoming hosts.

Great site, very friendly and personal feel to it, would stay again!
Powered grass site
Liked Great campsite! Greeted instantly by a very friendly owner who was super helpful. We came at a quiet time of year so almost had the place to ourselves. Pool was great, kids loved it (so did I). Footgolf was great fun. Clean facilities. Bar on site and restaurant but we didn't eat any food as we had our own. Kids enjoyed the park and zip wire. Owner again very helpful when we left on informing me of local roads and the best way to continue our journey.
Disliked Wifi at the pitch wasn't working for us (very low signal) but good at the pool/bar!

Liked We got a very warm welcome and the hosts were great throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything is clean and well looked after. The pool is great and there is sandpit area and playground for children. My 4 year old and 2 year old loved it and they could roam about safely. The campsite is set in beautiful trees with a good amount of shade, it's very peaceful.
Disliked Having to leave

Englischer Charme und Witz in Frankreich
Unpowered grass site
Liked Der Platz liegt etwas abseits in einem Wald ( sehr ruhig)
Achten Sie auf die Hinweistafeln da es zwei Zufahrten gibt (eine ist eher Offroad)
Geführt wird der Campingplatz von einem englischen alten süßen Pärchen die super nett sind .
Auch gibt es einen niederländischen Herrn also Sprache ist kein Problem
Alles hat ein gewisses englischen Charme auch das super saubere Sanitärgebäude
Disliked Die etwas holprige Zufahrt

Powered grass site
Liked I discovered this campsite after reading the owner's books on Kindle (A Tent in France - Simon Swinn) and was keen to visit the campsite. This was our second visit and won't be the last. The owners, Simon & Lorraine, are very welcoming and friendly and really strive to make everyone's stay a good one. The site is very large with lots of space available to pitch pretty much where you want, yet still have facilities. Almost all are under the canopy of the forest which makes for a great camping experience. All the facilities are well maintained and clean. There is a bar available if you want to be social, well priced but doesn't detract from the peace and quiet if you'd rather stay on your pitch.

Liked Peaceful woodland site with plenty of shade and good facilities ( but remember to take your own loo roll!). Excellent for dog walking . Although we didn't actually have time to use the pool it looked very inviting.
Disliked No draught beer ( only joking!!).
