clean site, good facilities but no privacy at all
Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Reception staff, very clean sanitary block, good location for town.
Disliked Very very small pitches. Mixture of chalets and motorhomes crammed in together. Very very little privacy with only some arbitrary picket fencing and the odd shrub. Neighbours were very very close. Access is challenging for larger motorhomes.

Nous vous remercions pour avis.L'emplacement que vous aviez pour votre séjour à une superficie de 87m2(13.00x6.70).les emplacements sont effectivement séparé par des ganivelles et des plans de haies que nous avons plantés cette année.Merci et bonne continuation.
All in all, it was fine for the 2 night stopover
Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Facilities quite good and near the pitches
Quiet site with easy ish access to local shops
Disliked The water needed to be hotter in the washing up area, and I think the site is now more bothered about letting to the chalets as the MH pitches were quite uncared for
We couldn’t order daily bread which we are used to
All things considered it was ‘ok’ but we won’t be using again

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Je ne preconeriserai ce camping a des familles
Quiétude 3 bedroom mobile home (six person)
Liked Camping proche de la plage
Disliked Aucun espace de jeux pour enfants de plus de 6 ans ! Juste une petite structure avec toboggans pour les petits. Qd les enfants veulent jouet au ballon, le responsable vient demander d arrêter !
Quel surprise et désagrément de devoir ranger toute la vaisselle qd on arrive ( après 5 h de route )

From the manager: Nous vous remercions pour votre avis et sommes un camping familial et convivial. Nous avons une aire de jeux et avons juste demander à votre petit fils de pas lancer le ballon dans les carreaux des sanitaires. La vaisselle est sur la table car nous vérifions tout avant votre arrivée et nettoyons tous les placards à votre départ et c'est plus facile pour votre inventaire à l'arrivée.
Easy access to the beach, price reasonable. Good showers and fast WiFi.…

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Nicely laid out, quiet, clean.
Disliked The all-grass pitches with motorhomes or vans on them can soon turn into mud baths, and the old bamboo fences would probably be better replaced with some privacy hedges.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We take your opinion into account but the weather this summer is not usual with rain. We thank you.
Très beau camping situer à 10 minute à pied de la plage.…

Awful pitches
Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Not to much
Disliked We arrived at about 11am spoke to a guy who was cleaning the toilets he said reception didn't open until 2pm waited around for 3 hours only to find the guy cleaning the toilets was the owner and could have let us on to a pitch. We paid for two nights and only staid for one
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are sorry for this misunderstanding. But when the pitches are all occupied, we cannot pick you up before time, however if it is free, you can arrive late in the morning. THANKS
Pitches too packed in.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Friendly staff. Good hot showers. Great pizzas. Walking distance to beach but no facilities when you get there.
Disliked Pitches on top of each other far too close for safety. Broken cheap fencing between them.

From the manager: We thank you for your opinion and take it into account.
