Camping du Pas des Biches

Tyckte om: Super friendly and welcoming owner/manager. Very enthusiastic about his special home made ‘ aperitif’ which he urges you to try! Small, very quiet site in a beautiful rural landscape. Very much a ‘back to nature’ basic feel with minimal ‘holiday camp’ frills. Excellent plentiful supply of really hot water in the showers - best of any site yet! Sounds of nature dominate including a very lively owl! This site is not for those looking for a big commercial enterprise with lots of facilities and entertainment. The toilets and showers are clean but basic. Pitching is somewhat random - we arrived when the reception was closed and made our own way 100m further up the country lane to the actual site. There are only a few touring pitches among some trees so we just parked in what looked like it may be a pitch and plugged in to await events. The site owner arrived shortly afterwards in his van, shook hands and said we were fine where we were if it suited us - he doesn’t speak English! He asked us to pop back to reception later that afternoon to check in and pay. Very relaxed but also no nearby amenities (shops, bars, restaurants). We have our own internet router and the signal was excellent.

Tyckte inte om: No real dislikes if you are happy with the simple life.

Från föreståndaren: Patrick thanks you very much for your message. You have described our campsite perfectly, in fact we really want to keep this traditional and natural camping spirit, we are clearly in opposition to the large "holiday village" campsites!! We are very happy that you liked it! See you maybe another time! Goodbye Patrick and Claire

Tyckte om: Small family run campsite which included more permanent residents. Friendly, facilities clean. Pitch a little bit squeezed in but ok. Exceptional shower with water flow across cubicle rather than facing door and consequently wetting all of the floor. Swimming pool and bar area but season coming to an end so not really available. Very friendly helpful owners. Offered and partook of Cognac tasting from owner, charming.

Tyckte om: Nice site with basic facilities and plenty of trees well positioned for a journey down France. I was given a warm welcome on arrival and a choice of where to pitch.

Tyckte om: Camping très convivial. J’ai été très bien reçue par les gérants du camping. Sanitaires propres. Le lieu du camping est en plein dans la nature donc très ressourçant. Je recommande !

Från föreståndaren: I apologize for not being there when you arrived but I see that Patrick took good care of you with the tasting!!! Glad you had a good time!

Tyckte om: We had a lovely time staying just for a couple of days in transit and would return without question to explore the area much more in future. The site is in a rustic rural location, surrounded by vineyards and sweetcorn fields. This is a site where you need to be realistic about your needs and expectations - it is a relatively humble and simple campsite with everything you need - but it is not a big commercial park and you have to respect that. We loved the peace and quiet and simplicity. The experience feels like a really authentic "on the farm" kind of campsite stay. Small but good enough showers and washing up facilities. The biggest positive about the site are the wonderful hosts - Claire is lovely, speaks much better English than she realises, and is a great host. Patrick is an absolute legend and we had a wonderful couple of hours in his company in his Cognac sampling cave - we shall need to return after we have finished off our purchases!

Tyckte inte om: No toilet seats - but we know this is a common in France! Maybe clarity as to where fresh (potable) drinking water is available on site would be helpful.

Från föreståndaren: It's a perfect definition of our campsite, it's exactly what we want to keep from this place, something simple and authentic where people feel relaxed! Thank you so much ! And may be see you next time Patrick and Claire

Tyckte om: Great vibe! Quiet. Invited to a party in the evening with a mussel cooking spectacle. Tried cognac for the first time - fab! Everyone was beyond friendly - even with my pigeon Derek Trotter French.

Tyckte inte om: Listen, rustic facilities. 2 toilets & showers - one in the traditional(!) style. Don’t let this put you off. Perfectly functional and clean.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you Elisabeth, passing through for just one night with us, you arrived on the right evening, we are happy that you were able to discover local products during this evening!! See you soon Claire

Tyckte om: A lovely friendly site with a relaxed atmosphere. Claire speaks perfect English and can answer all your questions and also organises all your morning bakery needs! The site is by a working vignoble and you can buy home produced pineau and cognac. We're looking forward to our return.

Tyckte inte om: There were perhaps limited toilet facilities. However we visited in August and there seemed to be no problem.
