Huge pitches in a lovely green, leafy setting. All the staff were very helpful and cheerful. Nothing was too much trouble. Clara in particular was great when we had a slight problem with our electric hook up. The facilities were exceptional, all showers, etc spotlessly clean and the swimming pool area was superb. The lake and lagoon areas were very peaceful and beautifully maintained.
Can't think of any
The individual facilities were very clean and it was very helpful having a washing up area too, as well as a drinking water pipe.
Would be useful to have an exterior light above the washing up sink. We visited in September and some evenings it was quite dark by the time we washed up after our evening cooking.

We enjoyed a lovely two weeks at Garangeoire this summer. The weather was a little unpredictable but there was plenty to do on site. So lovely that aside from a security deposit, the pedalos and canoes are totally free. The mini golf you can play as often as you like, again free. The restaurant is well worth a visit too. The staff on site can't do enough to help.
We were camping around the field which was a beautiful spot. Just one suggestion for improvement would be to please add a hand soap dispenser outside the 3 ladies toilets. There is a sink and soap in the men's toilet but only an outdoor tap close to the ladies'.
So convenient to have the fridge and extra under cover storage in the little shed. Beautiful spot next to the field, perfect for running, learning to ride a bike and games.
Not enough pain au raisins to go around in the mornings!

we loved this campsite. we came for 2 weeks, with 5 other families and we had such a great time. we always got sunbeds round the pool, and the lagoon was really nice. the restaurant was really nice food, and the takeaway also had great service. all staff were very friendly and spoke brilliant english. The kids loved the park, horseriding, and we felt safe letting them o to play. The site was also kept quiet after 10:30pm
when we initially booked it, we were under the impression that most of the activities would be free, like the kids football club, but they weren't that expensive. My main complaint was the pool sunbeds were so uncomfortable. so much, that I found it better to lay on the artificial grass.
lovely big pitch, plenty of shade from the trees, close to toilet block, close to main attractions. We loved all being on pitches close/next to each other.
no, the pitch was great. if we come again, we would like to be in the same place (pitch called mimosas).

The cleanliness of the place was really good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The array of activities available for the children was great, the children especially loved the football camp!!
Adventure play park/wooden style. Toilet facilities by the pool area to be cleaned more regularly.
The pitch was very clean and modern. It was nice having our own shower and toilet on the pitch. Having a bbq ready for us was really helpful. We had everything we needed.
An outside light/solar lighting around the seating area would be helpful. More storage/shelving in the bathroom (places for the toothbrushes to be stored).

The overall feel of the site was fantastic.
We had a few nights where people were very loud and it affected our sleep. So maybe someone doing the rounds and checking noise levels.
Great location. Size was great.
Nope.

Excellent week and exceeded expectations, clean site with extremely helpful staff Will be back
Reception area can get very busy
Clean, modern and perfect location
Understand the eco friendly factor but very difficult without air conditioning in mid 30 degree heat

Great pitches, lovely setting in the woods, lots of space.
Some aspects of the chalet needed updating, particularly the flooring.
Well equipped, lovely big pitch. Good shower.
Flooring needed to be replaced, outside wooden furniture difficult to clean.

Another fabulous stay at the Garangeoire - can not fault it. Football coaches, especially Oscar, were amazing this year and as always, all staff were helpful, friendly and polite. Thank you Eric and and Ann!
Great location, clean and comfortable.
There are very limited plug sockets in the bedrooms and they are in awkward positions - which means that putting a fan in during the hot weather is difficult. We fully support the ethos for sustainability and no air con, however a ceiling fan in the terrace area would be greatly appreciated - as well as possibly one fan per bedroom.

We LOVE La Garangeoire. It's the best campsite we've ever stayed at which is why we always come back. Clean, well planned with friendly staff & excellent facilities
Less wasps!
Great size pitch with water and electric

We liked arriving.! Always a very pleasant welcome from the team of people no matter what their role is. The site improvements are good especially the braided promenade segregating the wheeled from pedestrians. Accommodation and everywhere was very clean and comfortable. The pool was fantastic. The hour before the slides were opened up allowed for a peaceful swim time. We first visited 35 years ago. Although the site has developed the environment and atmosphere hasn’t changed. We like arriving but we are always sorry to leave.
Whilst there’s a footbath at the entrance to the pool the overhead shower couldn’t be operated despite valiant attempt by pool guy. Options are the shower next to the pool or in the ablutions near entrance. The new waste system was a bit hit and miss. I never mastered it.
Very clean and comfortable.
Not a dislike but observation. I suspect there’s a Klargester situated somewhere behind the chalet we were in. The quiet of the night you could hear the hum of a pump or something.

We had a great stay. The staff were really helpful and friendly especially Celia! We loved the lagoon and the pony trekking. Our pitch was in the shade and the kitchen and shower / WC facilities excellent. Our daughter loved the 'crepe making' and the evening entertainment especially the 'night swim'. We also loved the ladies toilets next to reception which was lovely and clean and great facilities. We are coming back next year.
People reserving sun-beds round the pool when they aren't even there, so newcomers can't get a seat to observe / look after their children. I would have liked a sunbed on my pitch.
Excellent

I love everything about this campsite. The staff are unbelievably helpful and friendly. The pitches are a great size. There are lots of activities that were great for the kids, adults and family.I love the walled garden and the fact the owners are always on site to assist and chat. It feels really safe for children. We have come back here on numerous occasions.
Spacious. Well maintained. Clean well maintained facilities

We love the atmosphere, the grounds, the facilities, entertainment and the friendly nature of the staff.
The size of the pitch was great!
Not particularly flat so couldn’t get caravan level in any position. Very sloping to the left and to the back of the caravan. Also the pitch we were allocated had the drainage on the wrong side for English caravan. Luckily we had lots of pipe we could join together to reach. This is the first year of staying here we have experienced this though.

A great site with loads of things to do. Really lovely family friendly atmosphere. The facilities were very clean. Takeaway was good and loved the walled garden.
Sun loungers were uncomfortable and there could be more of them. Whilst the water fountains were great, it would be helpful if you could pay by card as we struggled to load up the cashless bracelet initially.
Huge pitch, well maintained and private with hedges.
It was very hot when we were there so a little more shade would have been welcome.

The campsite was exactly what we wanted. It has a laid back feel, is well maintained and has activities to take part in if that's what you want to do. The owners are actively involved in the running of the campsite and it was very evident as you could see how much they cared about the customer experience, and how this fed through to the staff who also cared. We loved the wine tasting night, a really lovely experience. Also, the raft race was great family fun and we created super memories - we'll be back next year with a better raft!
The sun loungers were very uncomfortable. Very difficult to lie comfortably without significant layering of towels. It would be good to add more loungers as it was often hard to find an empty one.
We loved the individual sanitary units, they were very clean and well maintained. We also loved the size of the pitches and
There was no shade at all on our pitch so, and as it was so hot during our stay, we couldn't stay on the pitch during the day
Loading
We enjoyed it very much. Staff, activities, entertainment, Pizzas were outstanding.
Big outside area.
The accommodation was unbearable after a very hot day. The chalet didn't seem to allow for the hot air to escape and this made for an oven like situation. We've never stayed in anywhere so uncomfortable.
