Gostou You could choose your own pitches and most were really big pitches! The hedge dividing the pitches was tall enough to ensure privacy. The location to the lake was fabulous but unfortunately due to the blue/green algae we could not use it. The pool was lovely, but possibly busier than it would normally be due to the lake being closed. The facilities were dated but clean. The welcome was very friendly and the morning delivery of croissants and bread was delicious.

Não gostou Considering the size of the site there were minimal toilets (and you need your own toilet paper and hand soap) - so choose your time wisely! Signage on the campsite regarding the blue green algae would have been helpful as we had to rely on google to find this out.

Gostou Our pitch was an isolated one and so we loved this - quiet reading time and peaceful days for us! The snack bar was lovely - food was fresh and used local ingredients. The bar was well stocked with sufficient variety to cater. The river on the site was lovely and, due to the pace of it no risk of the blue green algae - you can see how in higher water levels it would be a lovely place to play in. The owners had lots of things happening on the site - an organised walk, night markets, local artisans visiting and entertainment including live bands (if that’s your thing). The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Não gostou The campsite is a very popular campsite and some of the pitches would not have been as relaxing as ours was!

Do gestor: Dear Julie, Thank you so much from all the team at Camping d’Auberoche for your great review and for recommending our campsite! We are delighted to hear that you had such a peaceful and relaxing time on your pitch. Keeping a quiet, green haven while offering good, fresh local food at our snack bar and organized activities for those who want to join in (night markets, live music, walks...) is exactly the balance we strive for. We are also glad you enjoyed the river! Its gentle flow indeed keeps the water fresh and clear all summer long, making it a wonderful spot to cool off. Thank you again for your kind words about our welcome. It was a real pleasure having you both, and we would love to welcome you back anytime for another quiet reading session by the water! Warmest regards / Bien chaleureusement, Christèle, Christophe Chère Julie, Toute l'équipe du Camping d’Auberoche vous remercie chaleureusement pour votre excellent avis et pour avoir recommandé notre camping ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé un séjour si paisible et relaxant sur votre emplacement. Préserver ce havre de paix verdoyant tout en proposant une cuisine locale fraîche et savoureuse à notre snack, ainsi que des activités pour ceux qui souhaitent y participer (marchés nocturnes, concerts, promenades...), voilà exactement l'équilibre que nous recherchons. Nous sommes également heureux que vous ayez apprécié la rivière ! Son courant calme permet à l'eau de rester fraîche et limpide tout au long de l'été, ce qui en fait un endroit idéal pour se rafraîchir. Merci encore pour vos mots aimables concernant notre accueil. Ce fut un réel plaisir de vous recevoir tous les deux, et nous serions ravis de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre séance de lecture au calme, au bord de l'eau !

Gostou The starry, starry night…..wow - we lay watching the milky way and some of the best star viewing we have been able to do - a natural dark sky! The new owners were so welcoming and friendly. Keen to get feedback and have plans to invest on the site without fundamentally changing the charm of the site.

Gostou Lovely sized pitches - really private and you could choose the one that suited you. Friendly, helpful staff - willing to give advice as needed (helping me buy stamps in the local post office was beyond the call of duty!!). Lovely bread/croissants you could order daily. Facilities were excellent - lots of them and clean throughout our stay. location to Sable was perfect - you could walk into town (or cycle) for local shops or a simple drive to the bigger shops on the outskirts. The tourist information office in town was also very helpful.

Não gostou Whilst the river was low due to the drought and we were unable to access due to the blue/green algae - we feel it would have been a struggle to put the paddle boards in the river as the access points weren't clear with only one obvious spot for boats. Not sure if this is something the campsite can improve but one to be aware of.

Gostou Facilities were very clean (although the toilet was a little squashed!) and the water lovely and hot. We really liked the woodland area just off the campsite for a quick dog walk. The owner was really cheery and helpful (suggested the wood which was an 10 minute drive for a longer dog walk) and clearly took pride in the campsite. As we were Travelling to France the location of this campsite for the tunnel was the absolute draw and why we would use again.

Não gostou There wasn’t an option to select your own pitch - we prefer to be away from other campers when possible.

Gostou Location, Location, Location. Visiting family near Arundel this was the ideal site. The pitch was great for us, we like shade, and it was flat. The site went quiet at the appropriate times and indeed everyone seemed to follow the correct etiquette. Showers were good and, after porta-loos the toilets were also a blessing.

Não gostou The site facilities are dated with no working laundrette for campers to use (despite advertised) and no working electric sockets to plug electrical items in -crucial for backpackers). I’m not sure how often they were cleaned! There was a distinct lack of appropriate bins- non in the female toilets, non near the washing up area for when you clean out the sink and there was only one main bin for every bodies rubbish which was overflowing. The sinks all go down the drain leading into the toilet area and it was obvious this is wear the leftover scrambled eggs etc ended up and, in the two days we were there, this wasn’t cleaned. It’s quite an expensive site for these problems to be there. The facilities looked clean - but I think this was due to the people using the site.

Gostou The space is fantastic and it is so peaceful watching the red kites flying around or the aircraft on their lessons. As the field is so big you can be as sociable as you want. Links to the walks are great - literally on your doorstep! Cold water for dishes and showers (if it’s hot enough that’s lovely)

Não gostou We arrived the day before the porta-loos were being emptied…whilst they were clean you could definitely tell they needed emptying!! They were emptied whilst we were there and additional loos put in - if we’d arrived on that day we’d have given the site a 10

Do gestor: Thanks Julie, annoyingly the portaloos should have been delivered weeks before but there was a problem at the supplier's end outside of our control. Glad you enjoyed your stay though, we love the kites too :)

Gostou Like wild camping but with luxury of a compost toilet and a lovely honesty shop. Absolutely fantastic

Não gostou Liked everything

Gostou Love the wild camping feel of the site. Large pitches with own fire pit Honesty shop with fabulous wood General feeling there - you know the world is around but you get to focus on the main ment. It’s similar to wild camping - but you’ve got a loo! If you’ve ever wanted to try wild camping but not sure this is a perfect campsite to trial it on.

Não gostou Having to leave!

Gostou Camp pitch next to beach

Não gostou Everything else - this is possibly one of the worst campsites I have ever stayed at. The bins were overflowing at every stage of the 24 hours we were there. The toilets were not properly cleaned at any stage - bear in mind there are only 8 cubicles for a huge site! At one point I followed the “cleaner” in to discover all they had done was thrown a mop at the floor - not even swept up and no cleaning of the toilets! The water taps leaked throughout making the collecting of drinking water a very wet and messy affair (irrespective of which tap point you went to. The washing up area was three sinks - it’s a huge campsite…and these were not very hygienic. We popped to the shop to discover there was virtually nothing of any use. I had stayed here last year (on the way through) and it was similar but I put that down to us coming out of lockdown….It just seems to be a tired campsite with staff who do not do their job properly.

Gostou Clear pitches, lovely welcome, clean facilities. Plenty of space and lovely flat pitches. We will look to use again when we travel north.

Gostou Very friendly welcome - Sue and Andy couldn’t have done more. The pitches had bushes to protect from any wind, the views from the site are awesome and there is a lovely walk to the Martello Tower. The Shed is fabulous especially when in a tent in poor weather - great place to sit. Great site to base at for exploring all of Hoy, Flotta and Graemsay. Absolutely loved the stay and will be back next year. Had a meal that they provided - totally recommend!
