Il faut que ça change.
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Calme, paysage magnifique, très bon accueil des jeunes qui tiennent le camping.
Disliked Lac de Paladru privé. Des propriétaires maintiennent le lac sous une loi qui date du 19eme siècle. Ça ne devrait pas être permis en 2026. Encore un abus des plus riches.
En pleine canicule c'est un scandale

Lovely lake view with good facilities and friendly staff
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Lovely view of the lake. Good size pitch with easy access to electric. Showers were great and facilities clean. Walking distance to town. We were able to choose the pitch we wanted which was a nice touch. Staff were really friendly and helpful
Disliked Shame you aren’t able to swim in the lake as there is direct access from the site. You do need to take your own toilet paper and hand wash to the bathroom with you, this is noted on the information but is a bit of a faff.

From the manager: Hello Kelly,
Thank you very much for your detailed and kind feedback. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the view, the spacious pitches, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the warm welcome from our team.
Regarding swimming, it is indeed not allowed directly from the campsite, but there is a supervised and equipped beach just a few minutes’ walk away where you can enjoy the lake safely. As for bringing your own toilet paper and soap, we understand it can be a little inconvenient, but it’s quite common in many small family-run campsites in France.
We hope to welcome you back again by the lake!
