Such a variety of things to do in such a beautiful, cared for environment with lovely staff. Our 6 year old loved it, making friends and being able to be independent to roam the grounds, it was ideal as a break for all of us. I loved the guided tour Anne, the owner, gave of the grounds, it was fascinating. Hope to be back again next year!
Sometimes there are long queues for ice cream or at the bar, sometimes the pool is very crowded
Spacious, new, clean, dishwasher, love there is some spray to clean and a welcome pack of stuff
Pillows were too soft, we had ants the first 2 days until the maintenance guy sorted it out but I felt it shouldn’t have gotten so bad. There were a ton of ants! I feel like we needed two fans, one for each bedroom.

Such friendliness, familiarity, and facilities surely can’t be found anywhere else. Suitable for all ages.
Better WiFi.
Pitch sizes are very generous. The pitches are clean, well maintained and all close to facilities.
Nothing.

Had a great holiday, have stayed many times before and booked again for next year.
More parasols needed around the swimming pool especially due to the high temperatures this year. Sanitary block next to boule courts although kept very clean could do with updating (loose tap and toilet door lock not working) Pool bar tables inside and outside not very clean attracting lots of flies.
Good size.

The staff at reception are the most helpful, friendly and attentive you’ll find. The camping sites are large, private and impeccable with water points everywhere. The facilities, shower and toilet blocks immaculate and it’s soo nice to turn the shower on and off when finished, not to push every 5 seconds!! Original bar is great, shop is great, pool bar can get busy with kids, and pool could be bigger for the number of people on site, but I appreciate it’s 34 degrees and everyone is trying to cool off! The area is stunning with fields do sunflowers.A truly superb site!
Pool area could be improved, lagoon is only for little ones, would be lovely to have a swimming lake, struggling to find one in the area!
Superb pitch!
Nothing!

First time visitors, great size pitch, excellent facilities, air-con Bars, nice shop on site, armbands that you can preload with money. Excellent idea. Fantastic staff, we were shown to our pitch by Marina. First class service. We hope to be back soon.
Shaded in parts, very spacious. Very pleased.

Once again we had a ball at La Garanageoire. The landscaping is beautiful, the programme of activities so diverse and inclusive, and the overall feeling and atmosphere is so safe and relaxing. What sets La Garangeoire apart is how warm, gentle, kind and engaging all of the staff are. A special word for the animateurs, Daphne, Arthur and Morgane. Our children loved the kids club, activities and all of the evening entertainment. Our little girl absolutely adored Daphne…she is such a thoughtful, kind and considerate person who went out her way to make sure our shy little girl had a great holiday.
More air conditioned units and spaces. Unfortunately we fear that these heat waves are likely to become more frequent. We really struggled to sleep and would be reluctant to book a mobile without AC in future. Would also suggest some more umbrellas around the pool.
Just to note: we stayed in Orangers, a five person unit. We loved the beautiful plot with a great sense of privacy but also close proximity to the main hub. The unit was very well kitted out and we made good use of the BBQ and cooking facilities.
The lack of AC during the heatwave! We also found the amount of storage in the kids bedroom to be extremely limited. It would have been good to have a little more wardrobe space, even if it was in the living area/kitchen.

The size of the pitches. Cleanliness of toilets and the whole site. An incredible lagoon and good sized swimming pool and flumes. Activities to suit all ages A friendly relaxed atmosphere with picturesque buildings.
A long way to go to the buckets
Good size

Accomadation lovely and clean
A Lane in covered pool for lengths for few hours a day would be great for those who wish to swim lengths
Very clean and shaded
No aircon for the very hot nights

This is the 3rd time I have been but my first time with my own living space my daughter and son-in-law Mr & Mrs Ross Wilson have been coming for the last 14 years
Perfect for what I needed and well equipped very clean and comfortable

The door to the individual sanitation didn’t lock and as a lone female traveller it worried me. I pointed it out several times There was racial tension sparked by football. The behaviour of grown men was appalling Sadly I witnessed domestic abuse on a neighbouring pitch Feels like the site is trying to fill every minute with entertainments and forgetting the benefits of quiet camping The dog field was useful but too small
See above
The site felt like a theme park rather than camping. It’s a shame as I love the other Castel site at Le Man
Ms. Rostill, You stayed on a pitch with a private sanitary unit that locks with a key from the outside and a latch from the inside. Evidently, you missed the latch, and we found no record of any inquiry from you regarding this in our logbook. I find it very surprising that you witnessed inappropriate or improper behavior without reporting it to us. In a family-oriented campsite like ours, we expect a certain sense of community. As for the dog park, this is the first time anyone has told us it is too small! However, it seems to me that the four walking trails available across the property’s 200 hectares offer a significant alternative. It is true that we offer a vast array of activities and entertainment, even in the low season, but these are all organized well away from the accommodation areas, and a 10:30 PM curfew is strictly enforced. I therefore take your description of the site as a "theme park" as a compliment—thank you! In conclusion, we too are very disappointed by your review, but we cannot expect to please everyone. Anne - Campsite owner

We liked everything; the lovely friendly welcome, the cheerful and extremely helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are superb and everything kept scrupulously clean. It’s in beautiful surroundings and all the places of interest are within easy reach.
None.
For two oldies it was fabulous to have bathroom facilities on the pitch and an extra bonus to have a little kitchen, particularly having a fridge during the heatwave!
We think a small shelf above the basin in the shower room would be extremely useful for toothbrushes etc.

Fabulous site with really nice staff.
More shaded areas round the pool.
Nice roomy level pitch. Perfect for my campervan
Too many pidgeons using my awning as a toilet.

Our 3rd time here - just love it. The facilities are great, the walks, the yoga etc. The staff are very friendly and always says hello, they’re very helpful and attentive and nothing is too much trouble to accommodate your stay. Love that is still a family run site.
More shade/brollys round the pool and at the bar near the reception.
The pitches are a very generous size and majority have lovely shade

La Garengeoire is all too rare in today's world. It is run with genuine care and attention to detail, maintains its standards whilst looking to the future. Every member of the team seem to hold the same values. Although two years have passed since my last stay, and despite a dramatic change to my own situation, it was reassuring for me to rediscover the place we both had loved so much. Thank you.
Spacious and comfortable. Great plot. Felt very fortunate to be in a mobile home down that end of the site.
Due to the heat, air-con would have been very welcome.

Our first family holiday to France & we had the best time at La Garangeoire! Able to get into our accommodation early after a long journey was great, the cabin was lovely & clean & in a great spot! Loved the lagoon & the pool! Our little boy had the time of his life, felt safe to let him roam around & play! The restaurant and take away were great & had plenty of options! The site itself is beautiful, so well looked after & so pretty! We’ll definitely be back!
Only one & it’s our fault for not checking but an oven would have been great in our accommodation but wasn’t an issue
Clean, lots of storage, two bathrooms & toilets is always a plus! Lovely outside area
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback after this first family holiday to France! Please note that not all of our accommodation have built-in ovens, but we lend electric ovens upon request, with a deposit.
