Perfect location on the Cher and easy to get to.
Great cycling along the river banks, and Chenonceau was walkable and easily cyclable. Amboise lovely. Hot air balloons at dawn and dusk made a magnificent sight.
A big site, seemingly very popular for some who were there for several weeks and who stored their vans there.
Pitch allocation a little haphazard and our chosen pitch was taken by the time we returned to the office, even though we had parked on it. Some of the pitches were bare of grass - even by mid-June. There is no differentiation between pitches other than off the roadway - you make your own space.
For us, the other issue of pitches was that all the riverside pitches were taken (some are pre-booked up to five years in advance we were told later) but these form a kind of barrier between the rest of the site and the river. It was possible to walk through the pitches to reach the riverside, but it felt like intrusion.
Shower blocks were pretty basic, and were not well treated by the mixed caravan, motorhome and camping fraternity.
Morning fresh bread was excellent and much appreciated. Bar somewhat pricey for drinks. We didn't eat there. Small number of essential food etc supplies also sold. Book exchange a great idea.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
We didn't use the pool.
WiFi worried me as there was a pop-up interception (probably by cookie drop) in French warning me that my machine was unsafe etc etc. I pointed this out to the owner but he didn't seem overly concerned. Since I had only connected with the wifi log-on and a couple of UK sites, it was clear where the pop-up had emanated from. I couldn't tell whether it offered a malware link or whatever as I didn't have time and only used it for one day. However, the log-in page for the wifi use populated every one of my open browser windows. ;-) It probably needs a safety/usage review.
Overall, probably not the ideal site for us (but it was for others) and we probably won't return there.
