    A campground in an ideal location and very well maintained. The manager, who was very friendly, welcomed us even after the campground had closed. We’d love to come back.

    We had a pleasant stay. Too bad the pool was closed. Other than that, no complaints.

    We held a seminar there and the service was excellent (they really went out of their way to take care of us), the accommodations are very nice, well-heated (since we were there in March), and well-equipped (we appreciate not having to bring our own sheets or towels, not having to clean, and the little bathroom kit is a nice little extra that really comes in handy). Nothing to complain about regarding the food either. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

    Nous avons fait un séminaire là bas et le service est top (au petit soin), les logements sont très bien, bien chauffés (car nous y étions au mois de mars) et bien équipés (on apprécie de ne pas prendre ses draps, ses serviettes, de ne pas faire le ménage et le petit kit salle de bain est un petit plus qui peut bien dépanner). Rien à dire sur la restauration aussi. Merci pour ce moment.
