We first stayed here 10 years ago and the site has only got better. Staff are so helpful and friendly, the site is really clean and situated in a beautiful place and is so quiet and calm, making an incredibly relaxing holiday. Hiring bikes on site was easy, fairly cheap and flexible with drop off etc. There is breakfast available on site and lots of places to buy food within walking and cycling distance. We hired a tent lodge which we would recommend. The site is really well equipped to support recycling too.

These have lots of space, a well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds with cotton white covers. The main bed is surrounded with mosquito nets which looks great and helps keep any bites at bay! The furniture is comfortable and the lodge is easily big enough for a whole family of five or six.

Relaxing environment and excellent location.
The dusty road in the middle of the site needs to be improved. There is an excess of dust created by traffic that is often moving too fast. The road needs to be properly surfaced or have speed bumps added to slow traffic. We really enjoyed our stay but the excessive dust and resulting dirty caravan and car were disappointing.
Size of pitch.
Very dusty road as commented above.

Great facilities. Perfect site for us. Very impressed with the recycling set up.
Loved the hedged pitches and were glad of the bit of shade

friendly staff, bike hire, on site boulangerie, beach just 2 few mins walk away
cafe/bar open outside of high season
as a solo traveller it had everything I needed inc its own private terrace & garden. lots of kitchen equipment.
noise of motorhomes reversing some mornings, as my cabin was near their toilet emptying spot

Nice pitches, most with a bit of shade. Area is close to some bars and restaurants. The whole island is probably a bit more expensive than some areas. Lovely clean and functional sanitary facilities.
Possibly a cafe on site.
Nice pitches in some shade

Camping and its facilities are top-notch. It’s location next to the beach is top.
None. Though a bar facility in the reception area would be nice.
Pitch was large enough for our 7.20m autocaravan, and offered some shading as well.

The location, the peace, the cleanliness, friendly staff
We were disappointed that the bar / breakfast bar was not open
We enjoyed being on the avenue dunes, where we were less overlooked and it was quiet

There was no soap in the toilets for 2 days having informed Reception of this. Main toilet light was blinking and it was eventually fixed. Also only 1 hand dryer available and i was unable to charge my phone as the socket points were too high. The laundry unit was great with 2 washing machines and a dryer. Also a good freezer for our ice blocks as we were in a tent. The sandy grass pitches are not ideal when it rains as they turn essentially to sandy muck. It was great to hire bikes as we could cycle to the Lighthouse area which was amazing.
Daily checking of the facilities to ensure everything is in order
Nice flat pitch for camping. Windy though as we were close to the sea
When it rains its miserable!

Location excellent, sea excellent, space excellent
All good

Permanently too noisy due to garden work, pitch very small, not well maintained, water outlet not good to fill up camper van. No reaction to email complaint. Sani station, very tight and one, only.

Bonjour Mr Rudiger, Toute l’équipe a pris connaissance de votre commentaire. Concernant le bruit évoqué, nous tenons à préciser que les travaux de jardinage mentionnés consistaient simplement à tailler les haies avec un outil électrique peu bruyant, dans le souci constant d’entretenir le terrain pour le confort de tous les vacanciers. Nous veillons à limiter ces interventions aux heures les moins dérangeantes. Nos emplacements sont nombreux et variés. Si celui qui vous a été attribué ne vous a pas convenu, il suffisait de revenir à l’accueil afin de demander un changement. Moins de 3h se sont écoulées entre votre installation et vos mails de réclamation. Concernant le point d’eau, il est bien précisé dans notre mail de confirmation de séjour que vous avez reçu qu’il s’agit un point de puisage et non d’un point de connexion au réseau d’eau. 3 espaces sanitaires sont répartis sur le terrain, 1 aire de vidange près du sanitaire N° 1 et un vidoir pour wc chimique près du sanitaire N°3. Enfin, nous n’avons pas souhaité répondre à vos 2 courriels reçus à 17h23 et 17h27qui manquaient de courtoisie. Salutations .

Proximité du phare, de belles plages… Mobilhome propre et confortable. Le personnel est agréable et aimable
Manque de quelques petits trucs comme: couteau à huîtres, pince pour crabes…
Confortable
Un peu chaud la journée sans ventilateur ni clim
Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous laisser votre avis. Nous prenons bien en compte vos remarques concernant l’équipement des Mobil-Homes. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez appréciés la localisation et la propreté du camping ainsi que notre personnel. En espérant vous revoir très prochainement ! Noëmie

We LOVED our “tiny home” - just perfect for a few nights 😎 The entire site is very clean, tidy and peaceful - perfect 👍 The location is gorgeous…a short walk from beautiful sunsets, we managed a 12km walk along the beach and back through the salt ponds, with dragonflies joining us 💪 The young lady who checked us in (Naomi ?) was very friendly 🙏 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - touring down to Spain, by far the best stay yet 👍 Many thanks, we hope you enjoy a good season 🥂
Where the outside deck changes level - paint the last plank before the drop, maybe a muted orange or even green - I nearly managed to fall off it twice! A slight colour change would make it much safer 👍
It was the perfect space for us - had everything we needed 💪 Looking rustic from the outside, it was spotless inside 😎 The bed was very comfortable, & all the facilities (kitchen area, toilet) were great 👍
No - it was perfect! We had trouble with the front door lock, & the maintenance man was round within minutes and had it all fixed - thanks!
Dear Mr Walters, What an amazing feedback ! 🤩 Everything is said ; We’re really moved by your words. Hopefully see you next year ! 😉 Noëmie

Lovely site with nice size pitches, facilities are all really clean and seem fairly new, we visited out of season so was pretty quiet and the area around the lighthouse is nice. Staff are very polite and helpful.
Good size pitches and a good variety of spots, not all just in a line.
Dear Sir Goodall, Thank you for your nice review! It’s true that the campsite is well located, a few minutes away from the lighthouse and its shops. Your compliments about our polite and helpful staff mean a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you again ! Noëmie

Peaceful site in a beautiful part of the island. Cycle routes from the site to pretty villages and lovely sandy beaches. Don't miss the sunset from the old lifeboat house! Would have stayed longer but the site closed for the season.
Longer season.
Well maintained pitch surround by hedges.
Not enough water points.
