Powered grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely friendly campsite. It is basic, however, it does have a pool and a snack bar. It is really quiet and relaxing, great value for money. The owner has only just taken over the site and has renovation plans.
Disliked Toilet block is adequate, however, the owner has revamp plans. Don't let that put you off.

Good site just a little tired
Powered grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked Good size and location to La Rochelle. Very clean and friendly. Shady spots available and good six pitches. Lovely Boulangerie in the village.
Disliked Site’s amenities were tired. But we found out from the owner that it had been a community campsite for some 20 years with different people running it each year. New owners have taken over this season and are slowly working on it. Although tired it’s clean. A few of the toilets became out of action whilst there which caused a bit of queuing in the mornings/evenings . Also not set up for caravan waste when it comes to getting rid of it!

Not that good
Powered grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked Not much
Disliked Arrived on site to a warm welcome but sadly within minutes after parking up i went for a walk with my dog on his lead and he was savagely attacked by a loose pit bull terrier which was owned by a member of the staff. The next day the same dog got out again and ran towards us which caused us to jump in our camper van.
Such dogs are supposed to be banned on site…
My little dog is a nervous wreck as is my wife.
The site itself is ok, mainly an open field with limited shade. Facilities are basic but usable. No toilet rolls supplied or toilet seats.
The nearby village has a small shop but otherwise is devoid of any character apart from the church. The whole area seems to be very tired. The 30 minutes walk to the beach is not very pleasant, walking past half finished construction and run down areas.
La Rochelle is 20 minutes away so one positive.
We have never seen so many bars and restaurants in our lives!
