What customers say
This campsite boasts a stunning location near a beautiful lake and incredible valley scenery. While some found the manager very helpful, others reported rudeness and unhelpfulness, possibly due to language barriers. Facilities are seen as dated by some, but clean and adequate by others.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews


Good price for a comfortable stay in a stunning location.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Decent size pitch. Less than 10 minutes walk from the beautiful lake. Very reasonable price and cheaper than Pitchup quoted. Ablutions are comprehensive, though basic. Friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked Barely warm water and very poor water pressure. The approach to the site is off-putting; thankfully, the site is better inside than out, though a bit shabby.
Pitchup charged a deposit, which the campsite claimed it did not receive and ‘wasn’t normal’ practice. No WiFi signal from the site WiFi….

Liked Location, great view of the side of the mountain and 10 mins walk to the lake.
Disliked Staff where abrupt. The facilities where not even 1 star, run down and in need of modernisation, lacked cleaning and didn't feel safe the children.

Liked Wonderful experience thanks to the Manager, Madame Mireille who constantly surveyed the camping site to ensure all was well.
Any issue was handled immediately and checked the issue was sorted.
Our dog Teddy was given a great welcome and enjoyed his many long walks in nature.
We look forward to returning next year.

Site within walking distance of a brilliant lake for swimming.
Powered grass campsite (groups only)
Liked This is an older municipal site which has a local authority improvement programme. The facilities are old but not dirty or unsanitary in any way. The showers are old fashioned. Madame Mireille, the manager, indeed doesn't speak English. I speak a small amount of French and she gave me time to work out what to say. She was always helpful and polite.
The lake is 10 mins walk away and is amazing. Small coffee / snack stands dot around the edge so you can get a cool can when you want. Water is clear and a refreshing distraction to the heat of the day.
Pitches are scruffy but level, hedge lined and spacious. They have updated the Motorhome service point which is excellent and if this is the level they are aiming at for the rest of the improvements then this will be an exceptional site.

Amazing scenery but terrible facilities
Powered grass campsite (groups only)
Liked The scenery around the site was incredible.
Disliked The site was scruffy, the pitches were flat but hedges were overgrown with brambles, nettles and knotweed.
The toilets were an absolute disgrace. Shared facilities without doors, squatting toilets and not clean. There is a notice that the city is aware of the state of the facilities and will be updating for 2024. Pitchup should share this information before accepting bookings.

Awful
Powered grass campsite (groups only)
Liked not much!
Disliked The manager was so rude I had to ask her to stop shouting at me. She didn’t speak any English at all and I have very little French (which is my problem not hers) but she was very impatient and unhelpful. We had booked for two nights but only stayed for one. The facilities were pretty disgusting!

Disliked Despite what it says the lady doesn't speak a word of English but that's by the by she is rude , she overcharges even though you pay beforehand she will say pitch up is wrong, she shouts at kids for playing ( French and English kids ) we paid for 4 nights and left after 2 never felt so uncomfortable at a campsite

Decent site with everything you need.

Liked Electricity and water available. Level pitches separated by small hedges. Walking distance to town centre and restaurants. Inexpensive.
Disliked Shower and toilet facilities need to be upgraded. Receptionist could not speak any English (my fault, I should speak the native language). No shop on site.
