Arlene R. Posted 02/06/2025
Review of the campsite :

Immaculate site with large well tended pitches. Pitches all have some shade and many have a view of the river. We stayed 4 nights with our acsi card it was 15euros a night, amazing value for such a special place. Easy walk to the village which had a couple of bar/restaurants with a great view of the fairytale castle. Also several well marked out walks from the site which our Labrador loved. Definitely on our list to return.

We do prefer a gravel pitch, we were lucky we got the only one so a few more would be great although it wouldn’t put us off returning.

Accommodation review :

Large size, private, well tended, gravel and grass sections.

Bonjour Arlene RUTTER, Merci beaucoup pour votre avis si chaleureux et détaillé. Nous sommes ravis de lire que vous avez passé un séjour agréable chez nous, avec ses grands emplacements bien entretenus, l’ombre, la vue sur la rivière et la proximité du village. C’est merveilleux que votre Labrador ait pu profiter des promenades balisées, et que vous ayez trouvé un bon rapport qualité-prix avec votre carte ACSI. Votre enthousiasme pour notre petit coin de paradis, fait penser qu’il doit vraiment être un lieu spécial pour les campeurs. J’espère que vous aurez l’occasion de revenir bientôt, peut-être en ayant la chance de trouver d’autre emplacement en gravier et pelouse. Merci encore pour votre partage, cela donnera vraiment envie à d’autre campeur de découvrir notre petit coin si charmant. Périgordialement. Lydie et Bruno

Bonjour Shaun David Aherne, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour et votre appréciation du site, de l'accueil et des installations. Concernant la Wi-Fi, nous comprenons votre souhait, mais l'investissement est important pour apporter ce service sur tout le camping, du coup, la Wi-Fi n'est pas encore gratuite.

Review of the campsite :

This is the best site I have stayed at. The facilities are so good and very clean. The pitches are large and well looked after. The children’s playground is like no other I’ve seen - just wonderful! Huge chess game for outside, trampoline, outdoor gym equipment and more boxed games than I’ve seen in a shop for rainy days. Located within walking distance to a small but lovely village with a bakery, butchers, restaurants and a chateau that is open to the public.

It is impossible to improve this site - it is absolutely excellent!

Accommodation review :

The size, the tidiness, the trees.

Review of the campsite :

Everything about this campsite is wonderful Lydie and Bruno the owners, go out of their way to ensure that your stay is fantastic. Everything is so clean and so well organised. The heated shower block is great and all facilities are to hand. Reception is great too and provides everything you might need. Attractive campsite with walks along the river.Many thanks to Bruno for helping us get off the pitch after the torrential rain that we had for 2.5 days!

Maybe water at the pitch side for a motorhome, but it wasn't really a problem

Review of the campsite :

This is a lovely ,lovely campsite, we were on a terrace above the river, the reception is great as are the owners. Bread and croissants available every day. The toilets and showers were really, really good and everything wes so clean. Clearly the campsite owners want to offer the best possible experience for their guests and they most definitely achieved this aim. I cannot speak too highly of this campsite the best one of our 6 week trip. We would definitely return to this camp site. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious and the river burst it's banks quite spectacularly.

None possible ( apart from the weather) everything was perfect

Accommodation review :

Size, and shade ( first day it was very hot)

Would have been nice to have access to water at out pitch but this was not really a problem

Simple and Beautiful or simply beautiful. A lovely campsite, no amenities needed other than what is there. Pitches great size, well defined. Whole site very well looked after and very clean and tidy.

Eddie and Helen K. Posted 15/06/2024
Review of the campsite :

A brilliant campsite stayed 2 days and on the first day my wife fell during a walk in the Forrest and badly sprained her ankle. The lady who operates the campsite could not have been more concerned and was so helpful supplying my wife with crutches and an offer to take her to the local hospital. We were so grateful. The campsite itself was very clean and well maintained only the persistent rain was a blemish on our stay. We will hopefully return in the future and enjoy the facilities provided. Again thank you for your kindness during our stay.

Only improvement during our stay would be the weather however,that would be down to the weather gods.

Accommodation review :

Plenty of space and good for walking our dog

Review of the campsite :

Good sized pitches but wish I’d thought more about the thick canopy of trees which the sun or even sky couldn’t penetrate. My fault though. Loved the issuing of compost box and recycling tub on arrival.

The ‘river beach’ was deep mud in places. My dog got filthy. Photos look better than reality.

Accommodation review : Pitch BELLE VUE View over the river - Sur plan du camping de 1 à 25 -

Good pitch size. Whole site was well kept and reception area very pretty. It was a fair sized campsite but well laid out so didn’t feel like it which was great.

Push button tap to fill a water hog took a while but just nitpicking really!

Review of the campsite :

The site was quiet and we could sit watching the river from our pitch. The pitches are marked with hedges. The facilities are clean. We were able to get walking and cycling maps which made our stay perfect and had pizza one night too. Thank you.

Some showers were warmer than others. The showers in the largest top block were quite cool and there wasn't much light here. We soon got to know the showers that were best!

Accommodation review :

The space was good and the shade.

You need a long electric lead on some pitches.
