Camping Mont Blanc Plage

A aimé : We made the booking last min while traveling around France. The owner responded straight away with the booking conformation and asking our arrival time and left us the pin number for the gate if we had any delay. On arrival Beatrice the owner made us feel at home again. This is not our first time that we have used this camp site. The toilets are immaculate and the site was very clean. We cant comment on the restaurant as it was out of the main season so was not open. The weather was fantastic and we had the lounge and main lake to ourselves. Beatrice also insisted that we must use her boat to explore the lake, as we were very interested in the wildlife that surrounds the site. We explored the area but its a little walk to the train station so it maybe that some will need a taxi to get there and back. Over the train line is a lake that is great for the younger children with shallow waters that can be used. Maybe old fashioned to some people looking for all the bells and frizz, but to others its a hidden gem. We cant comment on the Wifi as we used our unlimited data off our phones and linked our now box to get TV when we wanted.

N'a pas aimé: Some reviews say noise from the main road but this dosent affect the peace of the site. The train line is also close but again it dosent affect the site the warning bell is more louder then the train and thats not loud, and it only runs once and hour at most and thats if you notice it.
I would say that in high season that some would be upset as the pitches are not marked out and this would be a problem for them as it would mean that they would have to find a spot.

A aimé : Nothing, including the weather

N'a pas aimé: Electricity supply was faulty although recently installed. Some of the connections I tried didn’t work and the ones that did were not earthed. We had booked and paid to stay 4 nights but left after 1 night.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Dear Mister Hankinson.
The camping has been full all summer with a lot of english clients and nobody did complain about the electricity.
About the weather i cannot do anything...
You did arrive and did drive to fast to arrive by us. You did scratch your brand new caravane that s why your answer was we ve got a death in our family and must go back tomorrow. 😉

A aimé : Not staying and leaving straight away after looking around the site.

N'a pas aimé: This doesn't look like the photos online. It has a little swamp in the middle, I think they described as a lake. The toilet block over the far side was a bit more modern, however the main block was disgusting and all facilities were old and very tired. All around the site was not colourful with graffiti and limited electric spots. It is not a place to stay with poor weather as all pitches muddy and boggy. The lady at reception was nice and helpful., however, It took time to see the entrance as it was not very clear with sign posts and then we hadn't been given a code. It situated alongside a dual carriageway on one side and a train track the other. This definitely doesn't display what it advertised.
The restaurant was closed for the season and the lake of which did look nice. I would not recommend. Extremely disappointed and more importantly paying for something incorrectly advertised.
I have used pitchup for years as a trusted app and this time I am dissatisfied.

A aimé : Leaving!!

N'a pas aimé: First of all, the lady on reception was rude to us when explaining the campsite security gate. We were made to feel like we were inconveniencing her.
The campsite itself was supposed to be situated around a lake, the photos on the website made it look idyllic. The reality was a far cry from this! It resembled a swamp and much of it was closed, we were not informed of this until we arrived. Everything was very run down, graffiti everywhere and the facilities were filthy and dated.
In addition to this, the site is right next to a main road, the road noise meant we had no sleep.
We both became ill (we suspect cleanliness of the campsite could be the reason for this).

A aimé : Great views when having a meal, hosts were really helpful and new facilities near reception are first class.
We will be back

N'a pas aimé: Pitches need to be clearly marked out.

A aimé : Location spectacular and adjacent lakeside restaurant and cafe is accompanied by as good a view of Mont Blanc as you’ll get anywhere.

N'a pas aimé: Site facilities need an upgrade, particularly in one of the blocks. Waste disposal very poor.
