Liked The cleanliness of the sanitaires

Disliked We really couldn't understand why this place had such amazing reviews on Pitchup. It's ok, maybe for one night. There are broken and dumped caravans littering the site. It's not in the Ardeche as you might expect. Sure, it's in the Ardeche department but not in the mountains or the gorges. The access to the river is unappealing. Why are there electric cattle fences everywhere? It's the sort of place you'd be really disappointed to arrive at. And, we were disappointed. We'd (stupidly) booked and paid for 2 nights but left after one. I'm sure that the charming owner means well...but I was scraping around trying to find 32 centimes in cash to fulfill our booking and she said "demain"....not "forget it" for 32 centimes? That's like 1p. Honestly, ignore those pumped up reviews. In September this was poor.

From the manager: Bonjour, Je suis désolée que mon camping n’ait pas correspondu à vos attentes. Quelques précisions nous semblent toutefois nécessaires. La caravane cassée que vous avez vue doit être prochainement récupérée par son propriétaire. Les autres caravanes présentes sont en gardiennage : elles sont regroupées contre la digue en saison, puis mises en hauteur après la saison afin d’être protégées en cas d’inondation. Concernant la rivière, la forte canicule et la sécheresse qui ont touché l’Ardèche cet été ont malheureusement fait chuter considérablement son niveau. Quant à la clôture électrique, elle n'est pas destinée au bétail : elles permettent d’accueillir hors saison nos deux chevaux, très appréciés de nombreux campeurs, qui étaient simplement partis en randonnée lors de votre séjour. Enfin, pour les 32 centimes de taxe de séjour, je vous avais justement proposé de les laisser tomber. Je suis donc surprise que ce geste soit présenté comme un point négatif. Je respecte bien sûr votre ressenti, même si je regrette que vous n’ayez pas apprécié la tranquillité, la nature et l’environnement qui font le charme de mon camping pour beaucoup de mes visiteurs. Bien cordialement, La propriétaire Hello, I'm sorry that my campsite didn't meet your expectations. However, we feel a few clarifications are necessary. The damaged caravan you saw should be collected by its owner soon. The other caravans are in storage: they are grouped together against the dike during the season, then moved to higher ground after the season to protect them in case of flooding. Regarding the river, the severe heatwave and drought that affected the Ardèche region this summer have unfortunately caused its water level to drop considerably. As for the electric fence, it's not for livestock: it's used to accommodate our two horses, which are very popular with many campers, and were simply out riding during your stay. Finally, regarding the 32-cent tourist tax, I specifically suggested waiving it. I'm therefore surprised that this gesture is being presented as a negative point. I certainly respect your feelings, although I regret that you did not appreciate the peace and quiet, the natural surroundings, and the environment that make my campsite so charming for so many of my guests. Sincerely, The owner
