From the manager: Bonjour Je trouve votre note vraiment exagérée!!! "short reception opening hours"!!!! c'est une plaisanterie??? Nous sommes ouverts de 8h30 à 12h et de 15h à 19h. Nous vous avons attendu jusqu'à 20h! et vous être arrivés à 21h30!!! même pas un coup de téléphone pour prévenir. Quel manque de respect! Quelle mauvaise foi! Pour votre information, ce ne sont pas des chauve-souris dans les arbres mais des étourneaux (des oiseaux donc...). J'espère aussi que vous ne reviendrez pas chez nous! Bonne continuation

Disliked: It’s not a campsite - it’s a lovely ‘aire de camping-car’ in all honestly. Small pitches on tarmac but v functional and great if you are passing through. Definite one-nighter.

Liked: My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Camping de la Gères. The welcome we received was second to none. Our pitch although good size had a tree which made it a little difficult getting some tent pegs in the ground. But being able to walk into the town of Surges was a big bonus. Will definitely return but maybe ask for a treeless pitch
Disliked: Nothing to dislike
