In juli hebben we deze camping al voor de tweede keer bezocht en het was weer een zeer leuk verblijf. Een mooie grote staanplaats, naast het meer. De kinderen amuseren er zich rot. We hebben een grote stortbui en onweer gehad en de grond kon al het water niet meer slikken en de plaats en de voortent stonden onder de water, nog voor de regen gedaan was, kwamen er werkmannen geulen graven om het water af te voeren en kwamen met kleine kiezeltjes af om de modderplaatsen te drogen. Een uurtje of 2 na de stortbui zaten we terug droog en proper in onze voortent! Wat een service. Rond het zwembad is de grond wel aan vernieuwing toe, je kan je er lelijk pijn doen en er zijn weinig ligzetels. Maar een SUPER lekkere keuken met een SUPER chef! Dit is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!

Wij danken u hartelijk voor het noteren van uw evaluering!
De regen kan niet altijd gestopt worden, maar we doen er alles aan om het de gast naar de zin te maken, ook wanneer het regent! Voor wat betreft het zwembad, zijn er grote plannen voor vernieuwing! We kunnen dit niet beloven voor het jaar 2012 maar het zit er aan te komen !
Nogmaals hartelijk dank voor uw verblijf en wensen u en uw familie een zeer goede winter en misschien tot volgend jaar!

We have been holidaying in France for 7 years, this is the best campsite we have ever stayed at. We brought our ovn caravan the whole way from Northern Ireland but it was worth the tow! The scenery is superb, our fully serviced lakeside pitch was fabulous. Loads for the kids to do, good pool complex, lovely region with plenty to see and do (if you can bear to drag yourself from the campsite). Good supermarket at only a 5 minutes drive away. Not too commercialised, a real French campsite. Weather was wonderful. Close to motorway so easy to access. Our absolute favourite, we will be back next year.

Een goede camping met mooie ruime plaatsen en proper sanitair. Wij hadden wel enorm veel last van de muggen die tussen 07:30 en 23:30 opkomen. Het restaurant is prijzig, maar tamelijk goed.
