Popular site but unsure why
This site has two advantages. 1 It is convenient for St Malo port, 2. It’s a lovely walk along the river into Dinan, BUT the path through the woods down to the river is steep, badly maintained and very slippery when wet. Beyond that I don’t know why it is so popular. The majority of the touring pitches are in the lowest, dampest part of the site, in shade virtually all day. They are uneven, and the grass is in poor condition. There are two facility blocks, toilet seats were missing in many cubicles and some people I spoke to on site thought them dirty, my view is that they were clean enough but might have needed some maintenance. One excellent feature is that the shower cubicle was large and contained a sink, the club could well pick up on this. The swimming pool was advertised as open until 15 September. It was not, despite 30 degree temperatures while we were there. (We stayed 8 nights). The shop was also closed with no explanation. Wi fi was advertised but only available in the reception area. Pitches have hedges around them which is nice for privacy but made access difficult as the pitches were clearly laid out when units were smaller. On the plus side every pitch had a tap and grey water disposal. As I mentioned earlier this is a popular site, it was pretty full during our time there, with tourers from the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands (the site stores their caravans), Germany and Netherlands. Some of these returning to the site over several years. As a result there was little or no feeling of being in France or of a French ambiance. It is not a site I am likely to revisit, even if I am travelling through St Malo.
