Camping between water

The grounds are tidy with good, paved pathways. The campsite actually consists of two sections. Both sections have two sanitary buildings. These were renovated in 2013 and look spotless. The circular section of the campsite borders the sandy beach by the lake. The pitches here are demarcated with hedges. In addition, there are several types of rental accommodations (such as bungalow tents, mobile homes, chalet homes and a Tit'home).

Activities by and on the lake

The campsite is located on a lake and the adjacent beach consists partly of sand and partly of grass. It lies in full sun, but there are a few sun umbrellas for some shade. The lake makes this a very popular campsite for families with small children, but also among anglers and water sports enthusiasts.

You can practice your skills in several sports on the campsite, such as tennis, pétanque and beach volleyball. Entertainment for children and adults is organised in peak season. For instance, sports tournaments, live music and karaoke.

Dining with a view

In July and August, the café-restaurant is open and you can choose from a limited menu. You can enjoy your meal with a view of the lake.

Disliked - Une négociation des prix des activités du parc de loisirs voisin serait la bienvenue pour les résidents du camping. L'accès gratuit au parc ok mais chaque activité reste payante même pour les résidents.
