Beware of Serviced Pitches

The facilities on this site are excellent. The toilet/shower block is extensive and very well maintained . There is an abundance of hot water. The restaurant, shop, bar and swimming/play faculties are all very good. Beware and avoid serviced pitches 107A, 107 and 108. They directly overlook the back door of the restaurant where a mechanical sweeper is parked and the staff take their smoking break. The restaurant has an extractor fan in the roof and 3 compressors mounted on the wall. These run when the restaurant is in operation and are noisy, which makes sitting out on these pitches unpleasant. The restaurant/shop also gets regular deliveries to the back door. Many of the pitches have a tarmac strip running the depth of the pitch which only allows for a nose in/nose out parking arrangement - otherwise you cannot pitch an awning . Many of the pitches have tall dense leylandii hedges on 3 sides which are your only view with the above parking arrangement.

Stopover on route to Exiduil

Very good site, warm and friendly welcome. Arrived on 24 August 44* extremely hot day. Ate in restaurant which was extremely good. We were lucky that on this particular evening there was a magic show at the restaurant from 9pm. Our Grandson enjoyed the show as did all. Good facilities and shop. The restaurant was excellent. If travelling from the south onto Angoulume peripherique take junction 26 Local wine available in the shop is excellent. Free use of facilities and equipment

Nice Site

2 weeks spent here. Pool clean but small and packed in the high season. No rush for sunbeds in the morning but don't expect to find many during the day when the weather is nice. There are a couple of pedalos, a boat and a kayak for free use. life jackets are provided. The medieval town of St Emillion is a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk away and is a great place to explore. Recommend doing the underground church tour which is at 2PM for English speaking. There are a couple of good caves (wine storage) to see at the top of the town which are free and a couple of towers to climb. There are plenty of chateaus to visit and taste there wine and purchase. I though the bar area was too small and expensive, but this was not a problem for us as we spent most nights on our pitch. There is a good sense of freedom for the children on the park, They spend most of the evenings riding their bikes which our daughter liked. It was nice to see that bikes were left unattended everywhere and never once got stolen or tampered with.

An excellent site

We stayed here in our MH in July 2017. It is a very good site which is aimed at families, although we are a couple and enjoyed our time. Its has 2 swimming pools both of which are small and are more for cooling off. There is an on site restaurant which serves meals throughout the day which were of a reasonable quality. A major plus point for this site is the friendly and helpfulness of all the staff all staff we met were very good. The site has a boating lake on which you can use the supplied pedaloes which are free. There is a lovely dog walk around the boating lake and the site is dog friendly. Most evenings (high season) this is some sort of entertainment around the restaurant area. There is a small onsite shop which sells basic items but little else, that do sell the most lovely bread, the morning croissants and pain au chocolate was some of the best we had in France. There is a free shuttle into St Emillion which is a stunning village. If you go into St Emillion to buy wine then do so at the Council run "Maison Du Vin" where you can buy the best wines at good prices. The shuttle drops you off right outside the Maison Du Vin. There are literally a hundred wine cellars in St Emillion and you can get overcharged by the private sellers, but at the Maison Du Vin you get the best wine at good prices. I have given this site overall 5 stars but four stars for peace and quite because the evening disco can be heard throughout the site (but it does stop at 10:30pm) We really enjoyed at time here and will return.

A great site in a lovely area

Smack in the middle of the vineyards, many of the pitches have shade which can be very welcome in the summer heat. Very friendly and helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, facilities modern and spotlessly clean. Great bar and restaurant with good tasty food. I particularly like the free wifi in the restaurant/bar area (provided that you buy a drink).do take advantage of the free vineyard tour (walking distance), very interesting, provided by an obviously passionate family, and you don't have to buy any wine - although it is good value considering the quality. The free shuttle into St Emilion is great, the town itself is gorgeous - if a little touristy and hence expensive. The restaurants in the town square do provide good quality set lunches at very reasonable prices. We were pitched next to the lake which meant there was always something to watch (mainly lots of ducklings) and the lake does provide some serious fishing if youre an enthusiast (big carp snd bream). A great spot highly recommended.

Idilic quiet setting

After a precarious journey through St.Emillion with our Sat nav we arrived to a pitch overlooking the lake. A fellow traveller warned us that he had been flooded in their awning so we gratefully pitched on the level. We stayed in late May and enjoyed trips to Bordeaux by train from Libourne .Cycling is easy and many different routes are available around the vineyards or simply into St.Emillion . Staff are freindly and the showers and toilets are clean and tidy. The pool is heated to 28° we were there as it hit 30° and felt it was akin to being in a bath! The restaurant was adequate the bar open daily. St.Emillion is walkable and better at night when the coach tourists have departed. We will definitely return.

A fabulous site

We stayed at this site in June 2017. It's simply a great site with large grassy pitches, plenty to do for younger families, bikes, fishing and so much more. Nearby St Emilion is breath taking as are the Vine yards and wine tasting opportunities. We had travelled to the site from the North on the A10 and experienced extreme difficulty in Libourne as in one particular part, the road had been narrowed with concrete barriers to such an extent that we had a real problem squeezing through. We are a wide van at 8ft, but at least four other couples on site said they had also had the same problem. I have mentioned this to reception as I had not seen any mention of this previously. I note other reviews comment about the sat nav problems which are very true. Best to head for St Emilion itself and access the site from there, otherwise you may be routed around the back into narrow roads etc.

Ideal stop for St Emelion

Nice site with friendly reception. Great for visiting the town of St Emilion. Toilets were clean and adequate. There was a restaurant and shop but did not use either. A bit awkward to find as I made the mistake of using the satnav instead of the directions given by the club, it's a man thing my wife says!

Oasis in a landscape of vines

We spent 7 days here, near the end of the season. It had originally been a stopover site - but due to car breakdown, our time here was extended. The really great thing about this site is the number of free activities available on it. Our shaded pitch overlooked the lovely lake - with free boating, the pool was the warmest I have ever swum in (delightful), crazy golf, tennis - all free for those on site. The area is a little dull to spend a whole week there. St Emillion is a great medieval town but it mostly functions for tourists. The area surrounding the site is vineyard as far as the eye can see. Good for flat cycling but a little monotonous to look at. We hired a car to go to surrounding areas - but that wasn't too inspiring either. Bergerac was recommended to us - but at around 50 miles away, it was too far for us. We were always really glad to get back to the site and relax at the pool. We even enjoyed the water slide a few times! The showers (the central ones)were like hotel showers; the best I have ever seen on a camping site. Staff at the site spoke English well and were really helpful - giving us info we needed re: taxis, trains, car hire. This is a really lovely site!
