Fixed holiday accommodation all around the centre of the site (facilities) just sucks all the life and feel out of camping. It is such a shame that so many campsites are doing this.
Swimming pool was shut at 7pm with many swimmers still using it, which seems unnecessary... its not like the pool is supervised and required staffing. The pool is also within 10m of the bins so you can smell the refuse while on the pool terrace.
One end of the campsite (where the touring pitches we stayed on were) is very close to a road which is busy and noisy throughout the day and evening. There is also the 'car park' presumably for overflow fixed accommodation guests... next to a concrete block wall which certainly detracts from the aesthetics.
Someone let their dog c**p on the main track between camping pitches and the facilities, and no-one bothered to move it.
Washing up stations were directly under the windows from the toilets so you get to hear and smell other guests having a clear out while doing your dishes.
No toilet seats, no toilet roll, not even handsoap provided (just a broken dispenser). Facilities were cleaned but not to a great standard.
Campervan waste disposal was for chemical toilets... no drive on drain for grey water, so unless you have a means of collecting your waste water from under the van and then putting it into the waste, you can't empty.
All in all, a culmination of issues. The thing is the campsite was not cheap... Its cheap compared to sites on the coast but its not on the coast - its a considerable drive by car for most, except the bravest of cyclists as the road to the coast is very busy... certainly not recommended to cycle with young children.
I could kind of accept the various issues if the campsite was priced accordingly but at 50 euros a night or so, I feel a bit like I am part funding the static homes rather than the camping. The camping facilities themselves are where investment is needed to make this campsite lovely.
