Liked - The lake and pitches are fantastic, as always. However, since switching from Le Tedey to Slow Village, there have been many disappointing changes. And ironically, it’s lost that relaxed, laid back feeling. Everything is so impersonal now and feels like you are being utilised to make the company money at every opportunity. It was, however, lovely to see the ladies in the shop were still there and the pastries exactly the same-absolutely delicious! For newcomers, the location is breathtaking, but Le Tedey regulars will be disappointed-as confirmed in discussions with other guests.
Disliked - The sanitary blocks were not cleaned thoroughly or regularly enough. The bar and restaurant are now massively over priced. The staff were rude. Services aren’t as easy to book (the boat man has gone!). We felt like the aim of Slow Village was not to provide us with a fantastic holiday, but simply to make as much money as possible out of us. Disappointing.

Liked - The site is in a stunning location. The cafe and beach area are lovely and mean you can relax for a day without having to leave the site. Reception were quick to help when needed. The grocery store is well stocked and the food vans were good if you don’t want to cook for an evening.
Disliked - The wash blocks would actually put me off returning. There are no toilet seats or toilet paper but more importantly, there is no soap provided. Surely since Covid, providing basic products for hygiene is important. The two other campsites we visited on this trip managed it. The blocks could do with cleaning more regularly as they are used by a lot of people.

The staff were helpful but not very friendly.

Disliked - We have been holidaying at Le Tedey for 9yrs. And this Yr is the first time we've had anything stolen. Someone stole our hammock and table lamps. It is also the first time I've seen the bathroom and toilet facilities not kept clean.

The new bar setting and staff were not very friendly. Which is a shame as the bar staff in the past have always made children feel welcome.

The camp now has a lot of day visitors, with particular security to over see what day visitors are on site and what times they leave

Liked - We have been going to Le Tedey for 6 years now, but were disappointed with a few things this time. On arriving at our pitch, the people next door had taken some of our space. If there was appropriate checking of pitches, this would have been sorted before we got there, as the people had been there for a while. Our friends had a battery charger and 2 bikes stolen from their campsite, and another friend had a hammock stolen. In all the years we've been camping, over 20 years, we have never had to lock away our things and have felt secure in many campsites, this was the first time I felt...
Disliked - ...worried about our possessions. There used to be security roaming the campsites throughout the night, if people were making noise after 11/12, he would tell them directly to stop and people would. This meant it was lovely and quiet at night. I had to tell my neighbours to stop shouting at 1 in the morning. The reception said there is a number you can call if there is a noise problem, but this doesn't work as we are in a tent, and it will wake everyone up who might be sleeping, it comes down to us having to say something, which can be awkward.

Liked - Lovely setting, and very central to get out on your bike into Lacanau.
Really well stocked shop and nice pizza burger van and shop on site.
Disliked - The beaches were full of glass, and could be racked regularly if the pine needles.
Also too many cars driving around too fast and was very noisy at night.
The rules say shush at 11pm but that wasn’t enforced like it is in other campsites in the area..

Liked - I have just send an email to cielavillage with feedback about the lack of cleaning of the lakeside shower facility, which resulted in dirty toilets, showers, washing up facilities. Our lakeside pitch was amazing and the reason we stayed, but the lack of cleaning (twice in 10 days) brings our rating right down
Disliked - As above
