Beautiful Location
Just returned from 5 nights at this site, we are a couple with 17 year old and a Labrador in a VW Camper. The location is truely beautiful and we were blessed with wonderful sunny weather. There are plenty of local walks, lovely towns and even a pilgrimage to the Vierge du Lac which affords an amazing panoramic view across the lake. Salles-Curan is also a very pretty town. There are a lot of chateaux nearby and other visitor attractions but it does involve a reasonable drive to get to them. The site itself has plenty to offer, we were there in full season so clearly had a better experience than other reviewers. Now for the not so goods... I had booked (and paid for) a lake view pitch which we were not given on arrival. They were all occupied and the site did not refund any money. (I don't think we were alone in this as on our last night I overheard another Engish family who had just arrived saying "if you have booked a premium pitch you should be given one"... They were much worse off than us as they were crammed on pitch 1 right in between the main access road and the bar and reception. I was actually quite happy with our pitch, we could see the lake (through the neighbours washing) and having seen how busy the shore was with children and families I was grateful of the privacy we had. The sanitary blocks were just ok, they weren't as clean as I would like, often had no toilet roll and there were no sinks outside of the lockable cubicles so often it wasn't possible to wash your hands. Showers were very busy in the early evening and got quite grubby but the water was always hot. These facilities are all mixed too. Staff don't speak much English so be prepared to speak some French. The lady in reception was very helpful and booked us a vet appointment in Salles-Curan for the worming tablet for which we were very grateful. It's very definitely a family site and is very noisy and busy with lots of children (mainly Dutch and french) running around all day long but it does quieten down quickly at night. Having said all that, we love the area and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
