Camping l'Abbatiale

Warm welcome, clean warm facilities, bakery available to order, reasonable prices.

I like this site as it was uncomplicated but had a bar and a restaurant. Within cycling distance of the Chantilly Chateau. Facilities were simple, but clean. The highlight of our stay was the very kind man running the bar and restaurant. A very jolly man whom it appeared did not speak much English but was very patient as we practiced our limited French to order what we needed. A big thumbs up and thank you.

Unfortunately, the campsite decided to accommodate a group of bikers, 'The DoomStriker' Chapter. Around 30 motorcycles which of course weren't at all quiet with lots of unnecessary revving. The chapter left the site in the evening and then came back at 12:30am and proceeded to make noise until at 5:30am. So, not much sleep. Really spoilt our stay.

Reception was open late and english was no problem. Good place for tent and bicycles. Big shelter to make food and eat. Clean toilets and showers.

Strictly ”drinking water” -signed waterspots were hard to find.

The campsite had everything we wanted and needed for our stay. I was particularly impressed with the laverie. Using the app it was so easy to operate the washing machines and dryers and to check if there was a machine free. We ordered chips from the bar one evening and they were delicious and the man who worked there was so friendly. I have never been on a campsite where you have your bins emptied for you and where recycling is made so easy. I loved this! A few days in to our stay there were gardeners on site cutting all the grass. This made a huge difference to the look of the site.

It was a shame the site wasn’t a bit busier. We would have had a drink in the bar if it had been a bit more lively. Also, we would have ordered pizzas if there had been more choice.

Fairly large site but really well planted to break it up. Lots of trees give good shade. Shower block is clean and easy to use.

Reception wasn't manned when we arrived so we had to wait quite a while.
