Dangerous

We visited the site in August 2017 for 4 nights. The site was poorly kept and very dirty, complete neglect, there were leaves on the ground from the previous year that had never been removed and hedges that had not been groomed, we could of course live with this. However, we were presented with a pitch that had a nest of wasps under the caravan(due to leaves remaining). We were moved to another pitch and we were told that they have a big problem with wasps this year (due to no cleaning I should think) The next pitch was 60m from the electric point, so I had to drape my electric lead over the road, by the end of the stay it was ripped to shreds.The electric/lighting points were held together with tape and most of the plastic bulb covers were full of water. The smell of raw sewage was a little off putting, ok, it was the height of the season and busy, but the leakage from cess pits onto paths as they were so full was a little off putting, thank goodness we were not pitched next to that. So caravan club, how can you possible give this site your safe approval due to electric and sewage issues. I have several pictures to prove this, alas we cant upload to the site. I urge you not to visit this site.

Lovely peaceful site

We stayed here for the second time having visited the site before in 2012. The site has been taken over by the Huttopia group which has meant there has been a great deal of investment in the site particularly the facilities. The toilet blocks have been upgraded, not sure how many there are but at least 4 I would guess. They were kept very clean, I spotted staff cleaning them about 3 times a day. The block we used had both showers and toilets indoors. The washing up sinks were more exposed but the roof was adequate. The new restaurant has been standardised to meet all Huttopia campsites i.e. For families with just pizza and burgers. We did eat there on the very first night it was open and it was fine. We had booked a riverside pitch which is more expensive but worth it! It was fairly quiet when we were there and it was very peaceful probably because being early July it was before the peak holiday season. I would definitely stay here again, Huttopia seem to have made a very positive impact on the site. I must also add how very friendly and helpful the young staff were as well!

Lovely site - shame about the fly infestation

A friendly welcoming site, with big pitches, spoilt by constant swarming flies.   In my view, the fly problem will be a constant issue during the summer months as the site is located next to a farm. The site river has gently sloping sides making it assessable to swim in. The site is long and sprawling. The pool area seemed to be clean The reception has a stock of essential items with a fresh bread delivered each morning, accompanied by the massing flies. The restaurant had a lovely terrace that overlooked the river but we didn't use it due to the flies. I would not recommend this site for the reasons stated above.

Not for us

Arrived here in August for a 2 night stop on route to the French Alps. Site very full, as expected, but also extremely noisy. Restaurant was OK but there were a lot of flies and the WiFi was very slow and kept dropping out. Pitches are delimited by hedges and trees but people still use your pitch as a thoroughfare to reach the toilet blocks and washing up areas. Washing up areas are in the open just under a roof which is OK but toilets and showers etc are similar design with just a door to separate you from the outside world. As an additional point, no toilet seats are fitted and the toilets are low, so not only is it cold and uncomfortable, it can be difficult to get off as well. Toilet blocks in the accepted sense they are not and there are only two for the complete site. Fine in summer but I would think pretty cold in spring or autumn, and they could be a long walk anyway. Its also a long walk to the entrance to the rubbish bins and again another long walk to the motor home service point to empty your toilet. All in all it was OK for two nights en route, but we won't be using this site again.

September 2015

A very peaceful site with friendly staff. Very close to the gently flowing river. Heated indoor pool was great off-season. Pitches of a reasonable size although some appeared very close together. One disappointment was that the restaurant closes at the end of August and this needs to be noted in the brochure. There are no good restaurants within walking distance. no takeaway was available in early September. Readers should also note that the site is under new ownership. They are improving some facilities but it should be noted that they are constructing a lot of large pre-erected tents on wooden bases along the bank of the river and this may not be to everyone's liking. Worth checking progress with the club. A great location though with beautiful scenery.

Peaceful

Easy access. Large pitches. Good clean showers and toilets. Plenty of shade. Nice swimming pool and sauna. Restaurant was closed (mid June). River kayaking available. Fishing with permit. Village with bakery 2 miles. Supermarket 5 miles. Good riverside forest walks. Great for chilling out, away from the heaving masses or simply stop over.

Acceptable site for overnight or a short stay

Stayed overnight on 23/06/15 on way to South-West France. Apparently, has changed ownership over the winter. Signs up apologising for the tired and elderly sanitary facilities and saying that they are to be re-built over next winter. Restaurant /bar closed, opening in July. Bread to order, no site shop but small shop in village, and supermarket within about 5 miles. Good swimming pool, and free sauna for adults. Nice location on river bank.

Acceptable but only just

A one night stay on our way down to the South of France from Germany. Location is pleasant enough by the river, and the pool area looked nice but other than that, there is not a lot else I can say that would recommend it. The washrooms were being upgraded when we were there, but they were nothing exciting. Staff were welcoming but would I stay here again? Probably not. There are certainly worse sites than this, but equally there are many better ones and there was nothing outstanding on Plage Blanche to excite us.
