Le Col Vert

Stayed here for last two weeks of July 2022. Lake was warm and refreshing any time of day, excellent for paddleboarding and other water sports. The swimming pool was also very good although could be a bit crowded at times. Plenty of activities and evening entertainment to keep everyone busy should they wish. The pitches are of a good size with electric and water available on certain pitches. We were fortunate to have sunny and shaded areas on our pitch, although some have no shade others no sun due to trees. The pitches aren't to the standard of club sites as nature has the upper hand! Had i known i would have packed some secateurs to cut back some shrubs and brambles. Make sure you download the campsites app before you go as it will save you time and hassle. Free bus service to Leon and the excellent beach. I would definitely return to this campsite again.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August and it was a delight. There were, initially, a few problems with the 3amp then the 6amp - until finally we bought the 10 amp - which didn't cost that much more. We had a standard pitch fairly near the lake. It was sandyish with tall hedges on 3 sides. The shade is a must. I pitied people who were on corner plots; the sun looked relentless. This site has a lot of great extras: the freshwater lake is warm and clean to swim in - even though it looked a bit brown. The little beach was fairly relaxing, even with quite a lot of kids around. The site also has a little farm bit with poultry and rabbits living in a large enclosure together and big paddocks for the horses and cows - who seemed to be well cared for. The swimming pool was a slightly horrific experience - with too many people and some riotous dive bombing. The lake was much better to swim in! The sea is a fairly decent bike ride away. we gave up because it was super hot and there were big hills towards the end. It was easier to take the car (good parking). Showers and toilets were clean and plentiful. All in all, I really liked this site and wished we could have stayed for longer!

lovlerly site but typical French all pitches are sandy and only 100 m size power is 3amp but we upgraded to 6 amp quite after 11pm and before 8am would recommend site we stayed for 13 nights and would return it was great for us shop on site was great like a supermarket from blow up beds toys to food and fresh bread every morning toilets are the French way unisex but very clean and not a problem only one critism the point that ask you to wait at when you arrive on the site could be better location other holiday makers can not pass in cars and if you are there for a few mins it's not good pool lake and restaurants fantastic  Would like to thank the staff on site for a loverly holiday
