Absolutely Filthy

Stayed here over night to catch the Ferry the following day. Reception was closed on arrival at 1pm and didn't open til 2pm. Three people then started checking in the large queue that had built up. Surely they could have staggered the lunch times and kept Reception open. Pitch was a good size. Toilet / shower block absolutely filthy. One of the loos had excrement all over the cubicle and was over flowing. The others were not clean. Lots of French workers staying there by the looks of things using as a cheap place to stay. Definitely not on holiday. Made loads of noise until nearly midnight (music, shouting etc) with no security to tell them to curb it. Swimming pool was absolutely rammed to the point of being dangerous. Has so much potential but we won't be staying here again.

Club Response: We were very concerned to read your review as having inspected the campsite earlier in the season we found it to have been of a good standard, with clean wash blocks, well tended pitches and a good range of amenities. The closing of the Reception for lunch isn`t unusual in France and many campsites prefer a full closure rather than split lunch arrangements for their staff.
We contacted the campsite for an explanation about your feedback and they advised that they don`t have workers living on the site. However, they did have a small group of travellers around 15th August who were noisy and, at times ill behaved and they were asked to leave the site. The campsite management have asked us to pass on their apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience resulting from the behaviour of these campsite users.
Site management have also apologised for the unacceptable state of the waskblocks at this time. It seems that, unfortunately, 2 members of the cleaning team unexpectedly left the site at a very busy time, leaving the cleaning team badly depleted. Although considerable efforts were made to maintain a good standard, this problem occurred at the peak of the high season, and regrettably some cleaning problems resulted. The swimming pool was also unusually busy at this time, largely as a result of the very hot weather and the peak French holiday week. The management team have assured us that they have the cleaning under control now but we will continue to closely monitor this campsite which is in a very useful location for those using the Brittany Ferries service. As Ouistreham port is so close by it remains a very useful choice for those arriving late, or departing early on the ferry.
