Camping L'Etang des Forges

Gostou There was a warm and friendly greeting from I would imagine were the owners who I never saw again afterwards.
The site appeared well maintained and there was a great looking swimming pool.
The pitch was level and was generous in size.
Although the location was in a rural area there was a lake next to it.

Não gostou When I went to the dining area it wasn’t at all clear what to do, after a minute or two I identified someone I thought was a member of staff and asked if he spoke English, he directed me to the man behind the counter who directed me back to him. After utter confusion a camper who spoke English and French helped out and I was able to buy the world’s smallest pizza and red wine.

The toilets don’t have seats which although very French still baffles me if you are older, infirm or have bad aim, if you know what I mean, all of and not just the shower marked as cold are cold and I mean ice cold, this was a quick and intense experience.
There are no bins, but plenty of compost bins, which are infested by flys, and other insects which probably explain the numerous bits I got during the night all in the name of eco.

Do gerente: Thank you very much, sir, for your anonymous comment.
Regarding your confusion at the snack bar, you simply needed to read the menu in English, where everything is clearly explained: orders are placed with the server (no restaurant will ask you to order from the chef...). Even though our server does not speak perfect English, there has never been a problem with communication with our other foreign guests, who are perhaps more tolerant than you in this regard.
As for your mobility issues in the shower block, you could have asked us for access to the toilets for people with reduced mobility, which would have been more comfortable for you... As for the freezing shower, you must have used the only shower in the bathrooms that provides cold water.
We will not add anything about compost, since it is the very principle of compost to find insects in it.

Gostou El entorno es maravilloso, pueblecito justo a la salida del camping

Não gostou Pondría más baños y duchas, pero las que hay muy limpias

Gostou Ruime plaatsen, overzichtelijke camping. Leuk zwembadje voor de kids en klein speeltuintje.
Genoeg wasgelegenheden/ douches; nooit hoeven wachten.
Mooi om rondje om het meer te lopen, er in zwemmen hebben we niet gedaan.
Op camping pizza, patat enz verkrijgbaar. Aldi vlak bij voor boodschappen

Não gostou Wc's en douches worden meerdere keren per dag schoongemaakt , toch ruikt het er enorm naar urine en is het niet schoon. Lampen gaan na ca 5 minuten uit, dus dan is het donker douchen, knop van licht is buiten de douches

Do gerente: Merci beaucoup pour votre visite dans notre camping et votre retour détaillé. Concernant les sanitaires, ils sont nettoyés 4 fois par jour en pleine saison, mais certains campeurs ne respectent pas toujours les règles de propreté... Quant à la lumière, il y a en effet une minuterie de 12 minutes afin d'éviter de laisser les lumières allumées toute la journée ou toute la nuit.
Nous espérons vous voir au camping une prochaine fois !
