Camping Les Embruns d'Oléron

Gostou The site is well laid out, plenty of privacy between pitches. Despite being busy it was surprisingly quiet. Lots of on site activities and easy access to the beautiful cycle routes around the island.

Gostou The shade and pitch. The island itself.

Não gostou The fact that the team of staff kept cleaning but the clients were the sort who abused the site - e.g. poo on the floor in toilets, never flushing the toilets and no pool rules at all - in fact quite unsafe.

Gostou The large pitch size, electricity supply at 10A and the close proximity of drinking water taps and chemical toilet emptying point.
All pitches seemed to be level.
The swimming pool was a good size, clean and well maintained. Being heated was a real bonus this early in the season.
A reasonably priced Super U supermarket on the doorstep (0.9 km away) made for easy buying of "essential" top ups such as bread, wine and beer!
There were lots of opportunities for long, safe bike riding in the charming surrounding countryside.
The free site wifi was one of the best I have encountered on a campsite in that it was fast, reliable and supported more than a single device on one account.

Não gostou The sinks for washing up and washing clothes needed cleaning much more often. They had the appearance of not having been cleaned in a long time.
It was not easy navigating a fairly large motorhome down some of the narrow site roads due to there being far too many low, over-hanging tree branches. They really do need cutting back to avoid damaging the paintwork on larger vehicles.
Be careful if using Google maps to navigate here as it will get things badly wrong in the final km and send you down narrow roads to camp entrances that no longer exist!

Gostou Reception was good, map, etc. We were allocated a good-sized, freshly-mowed, shaded grass pitch which, along with every other campsite I guess, had suffered a bit with the recent rain. We were lulled to sleep by the frog chorus ;-)
Laundry facility was excellent and the main reason for booking this campsite.
We used it as a base for cycling so didn't use any of the facilities such as the bar/restaurant and swimming pool.
We liked Le Chateau which was an easy bike ride away with safe parking just outside for the bikes.
The service point was fine.

Não gostou Mosquitos - they loved us and we were itching and scratching for quite a few days after our stay despite using plenty of bite cream. Marshy area so to be expected I guess?
Google Maps took us up a dead end which had a barred entrance reserved for a fire engine access I think. Annoying when you are tired and just want to get on site and pitch up! Not sure how you can get Google to correct that? Something the campsite admin should have attended to really.
