What customers say
Handy spot near shops, eateries & train for La Rochelle. Staff are friendly, facilities (showers, loos) are clean. Pitches tidy, some with hedges. Pool's a hit, though some found it small. Larger vehicles can be tricky to park. Some thought pitches tight for awnings. Evening shows are fun.

Camping a éviter avec des enfant, plutôt camping pour personnes âgées
Powered concrete and grass caravan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Soir du loto
Disliked Les horaires de piscine fermer de 12 h a 14 heure pas précise ds l annonce sur l a nonce marquer 3 fois par semaine club enfant mais qu il y avait qu une fois . Pas Accueillant. Les habituer faut la loi, les enfant nous pas droit de jouer ds la piscine ça les déranger. Tobbogant danger car y a un seul bassin , nettoyage de la piscine laisser a désirer.

From the manager: A notre tour de laisser un avis...
Clients à bannir de Pitchup!
2 réservations et 2 avis 1étoile.... Vous devriez vous remettre en question cher monsieur!
Tous nos autres avis sont très bons voire excellents...
Lors de votre séjour, tout était sujet à critiquer de toute façon.
Je trouve tout de même un peu fort pour une famille qui ne s'est pas changée une seule fois de la semaine et qui ne prenait pas de douche avant d'entrer dans la piscine, de parler de propreté de notre piscine...
Quant à la fermeture de la piscine entre midi et 2, nous souhaitons préserver la tranquillité de nos clients et de nos voisins pendant la pause méridienne et grand bien nous fasse quand on entendait vos enfants hurler toute la journée dans la piscine (puisque vous passiez vos journées dans notre piscine sale...). Et vous trouvez anormal que les autres clients vous fassent des remarques sur le comportement de vos enfants???
Pour revenir sur les activités enfants (et non pas club enfants), il n'y en avait que 2 cette semaine (zumba et activités manuelles) mais je n'y ai pas vu vos enfants!
Et pour finir, je dirai qu'on a l'accueil qu'on mérite! et j'espère que Pitchup fera le nécessaire pour vous exclure de ses clients!
I would definitely stay here again.

Powered concrete and grass caravan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely site with pool and bar area ( not fully open as not high season) showers and toilets immaculate. Local U Express for your shopping and Boulangerie within 5 minutes walk then another 5 minutes walk to centre.
Disliked Obviously not the sites fault but the ducks in the river were raving all night and not quietly either 😂😂
Wooden decking by the pool & artificial grass which becomes seriously roasting to walk on, I did end up wearing my flip flops

Powered concrete and grass caravan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great location for exploring the local town of Surgeres on foot. A warm welcome to the site, with hedged pitches for tents and campervans. Mixed shower block was clean and in good order. Great little pool and surrounding lounge area. Supermarket and boulongerie just a couple of minutes walk away.

Powered concrete and grass caravan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Hedged or semi hedged large pitches. Clean unisex showers and toilets. Very friendly staff. Quiet site late September. Great location for a short walk into Surgeres, which has lots of shops/bars/restaurants. A petrol station, supermarket and bakery at the end of the road. A park behind, which we found great for running and we loved the cycling in the area. We went at the end of the season, so the pool was closed. Half hour walk to the railway station where we got a train to La Rochelle. Would recommend this site.

Perfect 👍
Powered concrete and grass caravan, tent or trailer tent 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!
