Camping Étang de la Vallée

Me gustó: Flexibility to do late check-in.

No me gustó: We arrived within normal check-in hours and there was no staff at the site. Showers had automatic lights and timing was not changed since summer -> we showered at 20h in the dark. Lights went in an hour later. Bathroom facilities were dirty even though the campsite was pretty much empty, so were not being cleaned daily.

Me gustó: The location of the site. Adjacent to a lovely lake. Manager friendly and helpful.

No me gustó: Pitch not great. Nice quiet location but a bit uneven and lots of cigarette ends. Chemical toilet waste facilities locked, therefore had to travel back to UK ‘full’. Shower facilities ok. Toilets and washing up areas needed cleaning.

Me gustó: We stayed here for two nights on our way from Calais to Toulouse. We received a warm welcome and were given lots of information as well as the opportunity to buy baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolate for delivery at 9am the following morning (which were delicious!). The site was quiet and peaceful, with level pitches that were spread out and generous in size. We had a lovely, fully serviced pitch with trees and bushes providing shade and a bit of privacy. A lovely little play area was available, as well as a covered area containing giant Connect 4 and other games. They seemed to have lots going on. For example, the night we arrived (Friday) there was a paella van where you could buy a meal. The following evening there was a small craft fair. The morning we left there was what looked like a dirt bike company unloading bikes. So, lots to tap into if you wanted. There were two washroom blocks within 1 minute walk either side of our pitch, each with toilets, sinks to wash up after meals, huge sinks to hand-wash clothes and several stalls to have showers. These blocks were reasonable if a little ‘tired’, but always pretty clean and always stocked with toilet paper, too. One block had toilet seats where the other didn’t, and soap availability was a bit hit-and-miss. The showers were clean though a bit snug. The showerheads were small which made washing my thick, curly hair a bit tricky but they had really good water pressure and were always hot. None of these things put us off using them and none were deal-breakers for us. Just across the road from the campsite there was a large lake with life-guarded beach area, restaurant/cafe, toilets, outdoor showers and a small playground. The children loved playing here and it was clean and peaceful. The day we arrived, we saw people out on paddle boards, pedalos etc, but on our second day it was raining so we didn’t explore these options. Had we stayed longer (or had better weather), we would definitely have done so as it looked very inviting. We went for a walk through the forest and around part of the lake which was beautiful despite the rain! One could easily spend the whole day at this beach as it was a stunning place and very relaxing: definitely the highlight of our stay. We used the Super U supermarket in nearby Chateauneuf-sur-Loire for our food shop, which had plenty of fresh food as well as some local produce. Overall, we were really pleased to stay here and had a restful time as we prepared for our onward journey further south.

Me gustó: Nice clean site with good facilities, there is a lovely man made beach across the road to use. The pitches were a good size amongst the trees.

Me gustó: The facilities and nearby swimming lake were lovely.

No me gustó: Perhaps due to the number of people, but the toilet and shower facilities need more regular cleaning. Needs a small shop for essentials forgotten.
