A beautifully landscaped site in the grounds of an old chateau. We pitched by the lake and saw a kingfisher! Staff were wonderful - really helpful. Would definitely recommend.
The site layout with lots of trees and shrubs

We’re so glad we went. The staff were welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The site is beautiful, spotlessly clean and well maintained and the heated open air pool was a huge plus. The owners Manor House sits within the campsite and there’s a bar in one of the downstairs rooms. It wasn’t yet open but we looked in and couldn’t believe how trusting the owners were to let strangers into there house and home. The whole ethos of the site restores your faith in human nature. One of the best campsites we’ve ever been to, a credit to the whole team.
Can you get some more Kingfishers please, we only saw one ! 🤣
Pitches are great, big choice. Near the loo’s, near the pool, near the pond or quiet and tucked away etc etc Some pitches are quite a distance from electric points so bear this in mind if you have a choice.

The whole site is beautifully maintained and a pleasure to walk around, and I liked the environmental care ethos. The animals are a fantastic part of the place, and it was obvious that they were adored by the parents as much as the children. The restaurant is excellent, and the takeaway pizzas are quite simply the best I have ever tasted. The morning bread and pastry deliveries were much appreciated, and I already miss the Pain au chocolat!
The location was great, and certainly adequate. The shower was good.
The loo was somewhat small.

As always a friendly welcome, very pleasant owners and staff.
Some parts of roadway narrow with overhanging trees could cause damage to a large unit.
A great pitch

So much character. The opposite of most caravan or camping sites! Where else could you play table tennis listening to a woodpecker. All the pitches are different, amazing trees, lake, flowers,
Don't change anything!
Views.
Don't come if you want lots of lights and noise at night!

Our stay at this site was amazing all the staff were friendly and helpful. The place was spotless the pitches were beautiful and the amenities were fantastic. We will definitely be back next year.
Nothing in my opinion to improve
Perfect with an amazing view of the lake.
Nothing all good.

On a adoré le domaine, les emplacements et surtout l’accueil et activités pour les enfants. Merci a vous.
Rien à redire tout était top!

What can I say! Our first visit here - and unfortunately for only 5 nights. A beautiful site with really friendly and welcoming owners. Rest assured we will be back...and for much longer!
Great size - level - fully serviced - and with several friendly pet rabbits running around!

As ever, a beautiful two weeks at Le Brev, with the wonderful and welcoming team (Nicole, Raph, Jess, Nolen and the rest!) -really enjoyed visiting the equestrian centre a few times this year too. Weather was lovely too. Perfect trip x
The whole stay

Beautiful campsite, good size pitches, lovely lake side and castle view
Showers are impossible to use, they stay only on for a few seconds, we understand the idea behind saving water But they could be stay on for about a minute or so
We stayed with a caravan, nice level pitch on the lake side
Loading
Great Stay, Staff incredibly friendly and great facilities
Some of the showers colder than others but clutching at straws.
Pitch was clean and tidy with the addition of furniture and a fridge a great touch.

Friendly family run ecologically aware and far more than just a campsite
Absolutely perfect right down to the personalised welcome note

It was our third stay at Le Brevedent, spanning about 13 years and we loved it as much as the first time we stayed. What a charming campsite, made particularly wonderful by the abundance of nature all around. The resident Kingfisher is an absolute hit with us and with a lakeside pitch we were able to while away many hours watching him fish. We loved our stay and will definitely come back. Raphael, Jess and Nicole are wonderful hosts.
Perhaps the washing up areas could be a bit cleaner.
We had a lakeside pitch for our VW camper and it was perfect. A good size and nicely shaded by trees.

We loved how child-friendly our holiday was with plenty of facilities and games for them. I asked the boys to tell me 3 things they loved! Dylan (11) loved the swimming pool, the circus and the pony riding. Ethan (9) loved the pool, the table tennis and the peace and quiet. We, too, loved the tranquility, listening to the owls at night.
Many sites we have been to have had fire safety equipment available. I did not notice anything near where our lodge was.
We liked the size and the amount of kitchen equipment that was there. The beds were comfortable and the boys loved sleeping in their little cupboard room. We liked our rooms being on the other side of the lodge! The bathroom facilities were very good. We also appreciated having our breakfast delivered.
Nothing.

A beautiful site, with plenty of hot showers and clean toilets. Very well maintained, all the animals walking around, the beautiful lake, and wonderful staff. The kids craft workshops were fantastic and the pool was a lovely temperature. We loved the eco friendly feel and being able to sort out waste as well as feed the animals.
Our tent pitch was in a lovely location overlooking the lake
It wasnt very flat, it was very lumpy which made it harder in a tent

We had a great time at Le Brevedent in July, our visit was to watch the Tour de France but more than that our stay and camping at Le Brevedent was second to none. A very hot 8 days but with the cool beautiful surroundings of the site ( trees and lake) and the pool in the afternoons, made everything perfect. Music sessions were amazing and made or stay, please thank our host and his family, music made the stay amazing.
No improvements as far as we are concerned, the site and it’s full staff team are exceptional.
We had our camper on our pitch. A good size pitch and with a beautiful view of the lake. Having electricity mad our stay better, for our camper fridge and lights. Pitch was great
No, nothing could be improved.

We liked the sloping nature of the camp site, the trees dotted about between the tents, camper vans, caravans and lodges. We liked the darkness at night allowing us to view the stars, sleep better and how the darkness contributed to a better living environment for nocturnal creatures. The swimming pools were very pleasant, they catered for toddlers and swimmers. They were clean and warm enough for children and adults to be comfortable. The cafe/bar was lovely and served a good variety of drinks and snacks. The restaurant was very good and we liked the friendly welcoming attitude of all staff.
The shop could stock a few more food items perhaps?
We liked the wooden decking with its transparent roofing which allowed us to sit out to eat and drink without worrying about rain and having plenty of natural light. The kitchen was well provided with cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. The bathroom and shower were perfectly adequate given the overall size of the lodge. The kitchen/diner/lounge was a very good use of the limited space available in such a lodge.
The bedroom with the double bed was a bit difficult to negotiate, very limited space round the bed.

Raphael and his family care about te site and put every effort to ensure that your stay is comfortable. The restaurant is great value for great food. And they ensure that the facilities are spotless all the time. The musical evenings are definitely the highlight of any visit
Things could be improved but it would be to the detriment of this idyllic site
Pitches for caravans are spacious

Always a pleasure staying @ Castel Camping Le Brévedent, nothing is ever to much trouble when asked, family friendly with smiles of plenty, highly recommended
Perfect little home for the week, no complaints, maybe a small tv for the kids would be good just incase it rains, but other than that "Très bien‘
