megane gautheret 5/5
I was just passing through for the weekend to see my parents and children. Unfortunately, both my children were very ill, but the attentiveness, empathy and kindness of the owners and their team enabled me to have a good weekend in spite of everything. Without judgement or pretension, the owner called several numbers so that my children could see a doctor.
Over and above the sense of family, this is a simple campsite, close to the people, with facilities that make you want to do anything but leave!
The staff are very attentive and the site is extremely clean!
Thank you very much! See you next year and without germs this time! 😂

Great family campsite. We stopped several nights during our mountain bike tour (Viarhona) the pitches are large, sanitary facilities and showers tip top. The campsite managers are friendly, available and caring. The swimming pool is nice, although quickly shaded in September.
Don't hesitate to relax in the peace and quiet of this campsite. Beware, access by bike: steep climb.
