We liked everything really! We had the best meal of our holiday in the restaurant! It was absolutely delicious! And the service was excellent too. Friendly and helpful staff. We also thought the planting around the camp was very beautiful. Gorgeous, well tended plants. So hats off to your gardeners! And of course, the wonderful celebrations for your 60th anniversary. What a fabulous evening it was. A really lovely stay and so much to see and do. Fabulous!
Milk alternative for coffee ie soya, oat, coconut milk would have been good.
Nice and spacious. Excellent.
The noisy people next to us!

Very enthusiastic welcome Pitch large with all services Certainly great for families with lots to do
On arrival with a large touring caravan there is little or no space to pull up to check-in with out block peoples access. Please also direct/escort large touring units via the larger roadway as to try and manoeuvre around some of the corners is near impossible
Restaurant The marked trailways Pitch and services
The roads are too cluttered with vehicles which can cause awkwardness for large vehicles to pass

Reception very welcoming. Bivouac site very comfortable. Market on site well stocked. Family playland.
Horse manure smell during dinner was overwhelming. Sanitaries a long way from campsite. Lots of kids everywhere - hard if you’re not used to noise and action. Restaurant closed on Monday during high season.
Nicely thought out mini cabin. Appreciated the locker. Good power availability. Bed comfortable.
Crying children in neighboring sites.

Again another fantastic holiday at La Garangeoire. This is our 7th year and it really is like home from home for us. Our three children aged 13, 8 and 11 all love being at La Garangeoire. This year the night walk was a massive hit and of course the night swim! Anne and Eric and all their staff continously go above and beyond to make La Garangeoire as special as it is. We are looking forward to returning again next year.
Modern, spotlessly clean and ideal for children as it is so near all facilities

Beautiful location, very well-run by hard-working family Good facilities, good activities
The new Safari Village is gnerally beautifully done. However the usability of the deck space is pretty comprimised by the heavy wooden furniture - particularly the 'armchairs'. It would be good to have an outdoor table and three stool at the bar rather than 2. I would re-consider the 'armchairs' completely - they have a very large footprint [ on quite a compact deck ] and are very heavy to move even for an adult male.
Spacious - look well. Good shower and bathroom
It would be good to have more coat-hooks on the wall immediately inside the 'front-door' and a shoe-rack/simple 2/3 shelf unit on the floor beneath.

The pitch was a great size, and having water, drainage and electricity made the holiday so relaxing. The staff were very friendly and it was great to have the restaurant, take-away and shop on site. Also the toilet/ shower blocks were being constantly cleaned and it was great to have the facility to use the washing machines. The lagoon was amazing and having the lake to fish , walk round or use the boats was great. The swimming pool was lovely with plenty of loungers. The park and sports areas were also good. We enjoyed the marked walks around the woodland.
The boats were difficult to access. The lagoon had no shade. It would have been nice if a transport was laid on to visit local attractions such as Lac Jeunay and Les Sables. Should have had more shade round the pool.
Flat, great amenities on our site - electricity, drainage, water
No

Beautiful surroundings and the friendliness of staff was outstanding.
Due to weather the pitch was flooded so maybe some sort of drainage. However this did not put us of our stay as weather is up to the gods
Private toilet block was great. Clean and big enough well happy not to be trekking here and there to the loo
Nothing really

Family friendly - all ages well catered for. The perfect place to male and share precious memories with family. A large site, yet quiet, and relaxed. A well stocked shop with sensible prices, and a good restaurant. Helpful and cheery staff. We came in iur caravan to share a holiday with our daughter and small grandson who were staying in a nearby holiday cabin, and had a magical time.
The vegetation near the main ‘crossroad/corner’ would benefit from being cut back as there were numerous times when cars/site buggies/small children running or on scooters almost came to grief as the corner is busy, used by all types of camper and vehicles, and quite a ‘blind bend’. We also experienced a number of people driving far too fast in the small roads where children could run out (including staff members on buggies).
Loved the huge level pitch and having 16amp electricity and water/drainage
Nothing!

Brillant campsite - huge pitches - great facilities - very friendly and helpful staff
Huge pitch overlooking a large open space which gave a fantastic outlook. Equipment was useful and in good order - the Weber BBQ was new.

We loved our stay at the Garangeoire. It really is a fabulous campsite.
This was a game changer for us actually and the first time we’ve used a sanitary pitch.

We have just had the most amazing 5 days stay here, everything was perfect! The campsite is so lovely and clean, the staff are friendly, the pools are great, and its a great place for kids! Our 3 year old loved it too, it was so lovely waking up to the sound of the birds singing, we will definitely be returning next year.
Perhaps slightly more choices of food at the restaurant, but this is not a deal breaker for us.
The Safari lodge was great, We were a family of 3 so had plenty of space, my little girl loved the play area under the little cabin bed. It was a bit chilly in the evenings and perhaps a heater might be a nice extra touch on the colder nights. (even though its June) but it had everything you needed including a little double wagon which came in very handy!
Thank you for this feedback on our brand new 49 m2 Premium Safari Lodges. We are delighted that you appreciated its equipment and inside layout despite the unfavorable weather this year!

The site is well situated for exploring the area. Had a friendly and informative welcome on arrival. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The swimming pool area is excellent. Shop is well stocked for any essentials with a bread/ pastry ordering service. Would like to return in the future.
The pitch is spacious with plenty of room for our campervan and awning. Part of the pitch had hard standing for the campervan which proved useful as the ground become very wet due to the amount of rain we had during our stay. The sanitary block was clean with a large enough shower. Overall a good pitch.
The pitch did become a bit waterlogged during our stay but that was due to the amount of rain we had.

We had a wonderful welcome from Jean Luc, he suggested a pitch that was perfect for us, very quiet, but we were given the opportunity to change. The shop and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful and we had some very good food. After everyone left after the bank holiday weekend it was very quiet.
We forgot to order bread the night before, it was on the Sunday of the long French bank holiday weekend. On turning up to the epicure, there was nothing left. Most of the locals would be leaving so I guess not so much was ordered in.
Very large.

This was our 4th visit to La Garangeoire and we look forward to it every year. There is so much to do on the campsite, the animateurs are wecloming and excellent. The site itself is beautiful and our children (this year they were 4, 7 and 9) feel comfortable around the site. The campsite is just round the corner from Le Grand Defi, which is definitely worth a visit. It's also a short drive from various beaches.
This was our first year with a pitch (previous years we have been in safari tents, which have been fab) - the pitches are big compared to many campsites and they don't mind what you put on it.

The campsite is well laid out, well maintained and spotlessly clean. The campsite is continually being refreshed and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
The birds shower blocks could do with a refresh. We are concerned that quite a few of the Classic pitches are being upgraded, which could restrict our choice in future, but understand that certain changes are necessary for the growth of the business.
Love the location of the pitch we stayed on, as it is quiet, with plenty of shade and a short walk to the birds shower block.
No, we have been extremely lucky to have this pitch for 5 years.

Layout, activities, family orientated
Restaurant could be slightly improved or a higher end option

From the friendliness of reception to services supplied, to the wonderful pool complex, to the cleanliness of the overall site nothing is too much trouble for Anne and Eric’s team. With their hands on approach they demonstrate a commitment to give everyone a holiday to remember and enjoy. We especially liked Eric’s Sunday morning music at the pool. Can’t wait for next year!
