GOOD CAMPSITE IN GREAT POSITION

We were in Plot 82 - right opposite the children's play area. My fault for not requesting a quieter position - although that would not be guaranteed anyway. Lots of children were having a great time but unfortunately screamed a lot! On top of that there was a "bouncy castle" affair which gave a continual "whooshing" noise as it kept air pumped into it. It was supposed to stop at 7pm but never did. I saw children, unsupervised, trying to get onto the top of the "wall". Most failed but one little girl did and I feared she would slip onto the wrong side and end up on the hard ground. She didn't but I reported it to Reception. Unfortunately, they only said they put a notice up (too small to see from a distance) telling anyone who sees rules? being broken to report it. Legally, doesn't cover it, I shouldn't think! And I told them I wasn't expecting to be responsible if someone's child falls. They provide the climbing equipment, they should ensure it is used safely. That apart, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and spoke good english. There was a swimming pool, bar/restaurant, baguettes delivered everyday to order and a small shop with milk (not proper milk like ours!). The toilet block had separate toilets for ladies and gents. The showering cubicles were mixed. It was quite busy and shower cubicles not 100% clean but overall, the cleanliness was of a good standard. The pitches were separated by hedges mostly, which shaded sunshine - although it was a cloudy week so didn't make much difference and would be welcome on hot days. Monsoreau is a pretty place to wander around and there are lots of "Velo" cycle routes nearby and it is flat. Most campers had bicycles and there are safe cycle lanes to use. Quite close to Saumur, which is a lovely town and has a great food and clothing market on Saturday mornings. I would recommend this site to families, but if I stayed again it would be away from the playground.
