What customers say
Highly recommended, peaceful site in a beautiful rural spot, ideal for biking & hiking. Guests rave about spotless facilities, private pitches, and great showers. Friendly, English-speaking owners offer a warm welcome. Enjoy crepes, a shop, and good WiFi. Nearby canals offer boat trips. Many plan to return.

Perfect place for cycling and relaxing.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Nice marked out pitches with hedges and pollards willows. Electricity not always at the pitch and you need a French connector for the electric hook up. Very peaceful and lovely english speaking couple running the site. Toilets , washing up area and showers very clean ( shower cubicle rather small but shower wonderful as head can be moved and the water is not on a timer ) small shop and bar. Bread can be ordered each day.
Wonderful for cycling, either along by the canals or on the peaceful roads. Many cycle routes. Pretty villages near by. Great boat trips can be booked ( with English speaking guide) from the near by port. Lovely bar at the port. Nice food.
Excellent free WiFi.

Liked This is an absolutely top-class campsite in an idyllic location. The facilities are excellent, the sit is well laid out, and pitches are separated by trees and shrubs. There is a small but well-stocked shop, which also doubles as a bar in the evenings, with plenty of outside seating, some under cover. You can also order crepes and galettes, with a variety of fillings, prepared and cooked by the owners, who are extremely welcoming and helpful. They even reached out before we arrived to make sure we were still coming.
