Summary created out of 274 reviews

The park is set in the heart of nature and offers spacious, wooded pitches that guests greatly appreciate. Staff are frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, and the variety of activities – from swimming pools to canoeing and archery – ensures families with children have plenty to enjoy. However, there are complaints about the restaurant (long wait times, limited menu), and some guests find the sanitary facilities outdated. Night-time tranquility is experienced inconsistently: daytime noise from maintenance work or music can be disruptive, while evenings see strict enforcement of quiet hours.

    5-star campground—I’m still looking for those stars. We came as a family to enjoy a week-long vacation, hoping to find some activities, but we were very disappointed. We came with 16- and 17-year-olds, and this campground is one to avoid—the activities are for children up to age 12 at most. Also, be aware that in the morning, only the mini-club is open—there are no other activities. Our teens felt pressured and as though they didn’t belong there because of the director’s behavior. Furthermore, in the evenings, the teens couldn’t even chat among themselves with some soft music playing, even though they were positioned on the opposite side of the campground from the accommodations—in a corner where no one’s peace and quiet would have been disturbed. The “gym” isn’t even a real gym—there are only four machines in a small, dark, sheltered corner, and they’re the kind of machines you’d find on a fitness trail. The pool is ultimately the only positive aspect of this campground, with a special mention also going to the activity leaders Elza, Juliette, and Sonia. It’s still disappointing because it’s set in a relatively pleasant setting with good potential that isn’t being realized. In conclusion, it was a disappointing week—thankfully the weather was on our side, because otherwise there would have been nothing to do at this campground.

    Camping 5 étoiles je cherche encore les étoiles.Nous sommes venus en famille pour profiter des vacances une semaine avec pour but de trouver des activités cependant très déçus. Nous sommes venus avec des jeunes de 16/17ans et ce camping est à fuir les activités sont pour les petits jusqu’à maximum 12ans. Sachez également que le matin seul le mini club est mis en place pas d’autres activités. Nos jeunes ont senti une pression sur eux comme une impression de ne pas être à leur place en raison du comportement de la directrice. De plus le soir les jeunes ne pouvaient même pas discuter entre eux avec un peu de musique à bas niveau sachant qu’ils se plaçaient à l’opposé des logements donc un coin où personne n’aurait été détourné de sa tranquillité. La salle de sport n’est même pas une salle de sport il y a seulement 4 machines dans un petit coin sombre à l’abri et ce sont des machines comme vous pouvez trouver sur les parcours de santé. La piscine est finalement le seul point positif de ce camping avec également une mention spéciale pour les animatrices Elza, Juliette et Sonia. Cela reste décevant car il reste dans un cadre relativement agréable avec un bon potentiel qui n’est pas exploité. En conclusion une semaine décevante heureusement que le temps était avec nous car sinon aucune distraction dans ce camping.

    The restrooms aren't up to the standard of a 5-star campground. I wonder when the last upgrades were made.
    Too bad

    Les sanitaires ne sont pas à la hauteur d'un camping 5 étoiles. Je me demande de quand date les derniers investissements.

    Really peaceful but spoiled by man with leaf blower around our pitch. Really annoying at 10:00 am.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Bois du Bardelet campground. There are plenty of activities planned every day for the kids, in addition to the on-site facilities. The pool isn’t huge, but since the campground wasn’t full, it was plenty big enough. The bungalows are nice, with terraces overlooking the lake, but they get hot quickly on very hot days.
    There are quite a few nice places to visit in the surrounding area.

    Très bon séjour au camping du bois du Bardelet. De nombreuses activités sont prévues tous les jours pour les enfants en plus des équipements sur place. La piscine n’est pas immense, mais comme le camping n’était pas plein, c’était suffisant. Les bungalows sont agréables, avec leur terrasse qui donne sur le lac, mais ils montent vite en température les jours de grande chaleur.
    Pas mal de belles visites à faire aux alentours

    A very disappointing stay, despite a few positives.

    We would still like to highlight the kindness of the activity leaders (Sonia, Juliette, and Elza) as well as the restaurant staff, who were lovely, welcoming, and professional toward us. That was clearly what we appreciated most during our stay.

    Unfortunately, our experience with management—and particularly with the director—was quite different. We were blacklisted, and we were also singled out by the security guard (on duty that week). There were a huge number of restrictions, which made us feel like we couldn’t freely enjoy our vacation.

    As for the manager, Ms. PIGEON, her attitude gave us the impression that she wanted guests to leave and never set foot on the campground again. We found this very damaging to the campground’s reputation and the overall atmosphere, especially since it’s rated 5 stars.

    The facilities at this campground were very disappointing (a concrete playground, a gym where three machines are fighting it out, and no space for young people to hang out and have fun in the evening).

    We particularly do not recommend this campground to young people who want to enjoy a lively, friendly vacation without constantly feeling like they’re being watched or told off.

    It’s a shame, because with such friendly activity leaders and restaurant staff, the campground really could have offered a much better experience. We came for a camping trip, not a stay at a reform school!

    Séjour très décevant, malgré quelques points positifs.

    Nous tenons tout de même à souligner la gentillesse des animateurs (sonia juliette et elza) ainsi que du personnel de la restauration, qui ont été adorables, accueillants et professionnels avec nous. C’est clairement ce que nous avons le plus apprécié durant notre séjour.

    Malheureusement, notre expérience avec la direction et notamment la directrice a été tout autre. Nous avons été blacklistés et nous avons également été particulièrement dans le collimateur du vigile (de la semaine). Il y avait énormément de restrictions, ce qui nous a donné l’impression de ne pas pouvoir profiter librement de nos vacances.

    Concernant la directrice MME PIGEON , son attitude nous a donné le sentiment qu’elle souhaitait que les clients repartent et ne remettent plus jamais les pieds dans le camping. Nous avons trouvé cela très dommageable pour l’image de l’établissement et pour l’ambiance générale de plus que celui-ci est noté 5 etoile .

    Les infrastructures dans ce camping ont ete tres decevante ( city en beton, sale de sport où trois machine se batent en duel ,aucun espace pour les jeunes pour discuter et s amuser le soir)

    Nous déconseillons particulièrement ce camping aux jeunes qui souhaitent passer des vacances animées, conviviales et sans avoir constamment l’impression d’être surveillés ou rappelés à l’ordre.

    Dommage, car avec des animateurs et un personnel de restauration aussi sympathiques, le camping aurait vraiment pu offrir une bien meilleure expérience.Nous sommes venu pour un sejour au camping pas pour un sejour en maison de redressement !

    If we ignore the ridiculously expensive price of the tent site (€150 for 2 nights, no less!).
    - I arrived on Thursday afternoon, around 4 p.m. I wanted to go to the pool, stayed barely an hour, and when I came out, I couldn’t find my flip-flops anywhere!
    - Thursday evening: mussel night at €17 per person. There were four of us; the mussels were inedible—overcooked or reheated way too long—and I won’t even get started on the fries, which were worse than the mussels (even the ones at Flunch are better!).
    - Around 10 p.m., we’d barely arrived at our spot when the neighbors behind us started talking like total jerks, telling us to shut up—seriously, we’d just gotten there...
    But the worst part was that we got robbed right out of our car... honestly, if you’re passing through there, I think you’ll find a better place...

    On the plus side, the employee who greeted us when we arrived—no complaints there.

    Si on oublie le prix de l'emplacement de tente super cher (150 € pour 2 nuits, quand même !).
    - Arrivé jeudi midi, vers 16h, je veux aller à la piscine, rester à peine 1h, et en sortant impossible de retrouver mes claquettes !
    - Jeudi soir : soirée moules à 17€ par personne, on était 4, les moules étaient immangeables, recuites ou réchauffées beaucoup trop longtemps, et je ne parlerai même pas des frites qui étaient pires que les moules (même celles de chez Flunch sont meilleures !).
    - Vers 22h, à peine arrivés à notre emplacement que les voisins derrière nous parlent comme de la merde en nous disant de fermer notre gueule, eux sérieux, on vient de rentrer...
    Mais le pompon, c'est qu'on s'est fait voler notre pot de tabac directement dans notre voiture * Certe resté fenêtre ouverte et non portière , hein comme la direction a l'air de penser , donc tout a fait normal que des gens visite 🤬🤬...

    sincèrement si vous passez par la , je pense que vous trouverez mieux.. en plus de 6 ans de camping maintenant , c'est la première fois que nous sommes AUTANT déçu .

    Seul et unique Point positif , l'employé qui nous a accueilli a notre arrivé , rien a redire.
