Fantastic site

This site was amazing. The staff made a real effort to welcome us, offering us a choice of pitches & showing us to them. Really professional. They went the extra mile, explaining the locality and where everything was on the site. The site itself has a laid back and cozy atmosphere. Very friendly but basically don't impose on you unless you want help with something. There is a good shop & nice bar with food. Lovely pool and lake that you can use free of charge. Huge pitches which were accessible and easy to pitch up on. I dont have young children but saw that there was lots of play areas & bouncy castles, trampolines & even organised pony rides for the children. It made me want to borrow some kids just to join in. Loved this site. Highly recommended to anyone of any age.

Peace and Tranquility

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of July. We had good electricity and our own water supply. The site is spread out with fairly large pitches, we were at the side of the lake where we watched coypu playing. The toilets/showers were very clean, although we never used the facilities. There was a small shop on site where bread could be ordered daily, also a restaurant. There's a good children's play area and pedalos for the lake. Pontchateau is about 5 miles away where there is a good Leclerc for everything you need. The coast is only 30 minutes away, we spent a fun afternoon collecting fresh mussels from the beach at Pornichet which we cooked later. We could see where some pitches might become muddy in wet weather but most appeared to be well drained. At just over £22 a night, with free wifi all over the site, this was excellent value for money.

In need of TLC

Stayed for 4 nights earlier this month. The washrooms and pool were pretty good but the site generally seem pretty tired and the pitches in need of tidying up and levelling. Restaurant very basic, couldn't do a salad. Not a great deal of interest in the area. A noisy all-male party from a chalet roamed around late at night. In summary, ok but nothing special.

Brilliant if you have a dog

Stayed here begin of this month on our way to il d'oleron. Staff spoke English, very helpful too. Clean facilities. Great for the dog as there was a lake. Which proved a good morning walk round it, with his flinger and ball. Restaurant staff nice and friendly too, even if you where only having a drink. One night I asked what does the shop close? As I needed milk. When I paid the bar bill she brought me some milk from the shop. Which I thought was a good touch.

Wonderfull relaxed site

Very convenient for N165, easy to find with good access. Most pitches are large with a choice of shade or sun. We chose to be next to the lake, seeing many kingfishers and coypu. Very few mossies or wasps. Water and electricity adjacent. Facilities all spotless.Wi-Fi access everywhere, but sometimes slow. Nice bar and restaurant open the latter end of the week, with good value menus. Staff all very friendly and speaking English. Bread available mornings. We loved the peace and quiet and being on the edge of The Brieres Regional National Park. Covered pool, but not heated. Third week in September, so not busy. Kids play area and a huge field to romp around in. Free pedaloes on lake. We will be back !

Beautiful Site

We visited at the end of the season and shared this beautiful site with only around six other visitors. Even so the restaurant was open and you could spend a very enjoyable evening in the courtyard of the Chateau. The site is quite a distance from any local amenities so you do need transport. The facilities on site are basic but very clean. Can't compare what this site is like in peak season but it does seem to have all the attractions that people would want. All in all well worth a visit.

Another great holiday

My wife and I stayed here for six weeks from July 1st. As usual everything was as expected, clean toilets, showers etc pleasant evenings at the bar Restaurant, Marco and Laure making everyone's evening enjoyable. Others have written here far more eloquently than I and I suggest reading all other reviews. I'm already planning next years visit! On our penultimate night Laure had a serious accident while cleaning a glass, cutting her wrist and seven tendons. My wife and I wish her a speedy recovery.

Grangrad and Grannie

We had a five night stay here mid July and it was hot and sunny therefore we soaked up the rays instead of exploring the area as planned. The pitch we had was huge with drainage and own tap which was hugely convenient. The area is very rural and therefore peaceful and we were camped by the lake which is a good way from the bar so we were not disturbed. The bar/restaurant is very good and has speciality evenings when the regular menu is not available so you need to look out for that. The toilets are very clean and have seats and paper. The showers and are nice and hot although they are of the push button variety. Toilets and showers are situated in old barn type buildings with high, airy roofs which I loved. Our grandchildren were not with us but the play areas and equipment looked impressive with bouncy castles and free gocarts as well as the usual swings etc. The pool looked lovely but it is next to the bar so we never made it into the water. A lovely site to which I would return with no hesitation whatsoever.

Very enjoyable holiday

Very peaceful site except for one night when there was a wedding in the chateau, partying until 6am. But this was a one off. The facilities were very clean and well kept. Lovely location. My only criticism is that more information could be given to guests on arrival about area, markets etc. Lovely kids facilities and pool and resturant bar area. All in all a great site that we would return to

Good Camping

Confirming the previous comments, esp re Dominic and staff. Pitches are generous, access is good, and the site is easy to find. Visit the surrounding towns, esp Roche Barnard, Piriac on the coast. Local large town Herbignac good for a very large Hyper-U, 10 mins drive. Site is very quiet, but restaurant/bar is very good, something going on 3 or 4 nights each week and the owners, Marco and Laur are very nice and can speak english as needed. Facilities are a touch on the rustic side, but everything works and it's kept clean. Would return, and would also go out of my way to use as a stopover for journeys south. (I would make it a Wednesday evening, hopefully it will be Moules & frites as usual!) Don't be put off is anyone comments about music noise from weddings at the chateau, it doesn't go on too long......much.. Take a walk around the lake and spot coypu... great place.
