Park 599 is situated in the peaceful, wooded surroundings of the forêt d'Orléans, right next to a swimming lake with beach and recreational facilities. Guests particularly appreciate the beautiful natural location, the tranquillity and the spacious shaded pitches. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful. At the same time, there are regular complaints about the condition of the sanitary facilities, which are experienced as outdated and insufficiently cleaned, and about understaffing resulting in an often unmanned reception and shortcomings in general maintenance.

I organized a summer camp for 14 children ages 7 to 10 at this campground for 5 days, and I was very satisfied with it.
We had a very pleasant week there, with cottages that were more than spacious enough for our stay, nice play areas for the kids, and a pool that was just what we needed!
To all vacation organizers: I highly recommend this campground for your summer camps!this is a translation, click here for the original

I can't get through to the reservation center—except for the automated message that gives you the hours of operation

A very pleasant and quiet campground. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The space for my aunt was perfect, and my parents’ site—a two-person tent spot—was really great, all set in a shaded area. The restrooms are clean, functional, and easily accessible, even at night. The breakfasts are truly delicious—a real bonus for a family getaway. And renting a bike is a great option, especially for exploring the surrounding area. After a nice ride, the pool is just what you need. We’ll be happy to come back for another short weekend—or a longer stay 🥰

Camping très agréable et calme. Un personnel accueillant et à l’écoute. Mon espace pour ma tante était parfait et l’emplacement de mes parents, un bivouac pour deux personnes était vraiment top le tout dans un cadre ombragé. Les sanitaires sont propres, fonctionnel et accessibles facilement même de nuit. Les petits déjeuner vraiment délicieux, c’est un véritable plus dans un séjour en famille. Et la location d’un vélo est une option très intéressante surtout pour visiter les alentours. Après une belle balade la piscine fait beaucoup de bien. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir pour un nouveau petit week-end, ou un moment plus long 🥰

We had a wonderful week in August 2026!
The hospitality is top-notch! The staff was very kind and helpful throughout the week.
The campground is quiet and well-shaded.
The restrooms are adequate for camping. (Not luxurious, but perfectly fine for camping)
We really enjoyed the pool (though it was a bit chilly)
Too bad the petting zoo was empty for the kids.
The playground, soccer field, and mini-golf course were also a hit.
Having a washing machine available was helpful (a dryer was also available, though we didn’t use it)
Bread delivery and ice cream sales.
The lake and the recreation center right across the way are also big pluses.
One downside: stores, tobacco shops, etc., are 11 km away. (Not the campground’s fault)
And I think there must be a dog kennel nearby, which can sometimes be unpleasant (not the campground’s fault either)
I recommend this campground and am very happy with my week there (a family of 8, ages 2 to 67)this is a translation, click here for the original
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine en août 2026 !
L'accueil est Top ! Très gentil et serviable tout au long de la semaine.
Le camping et calme et bien ombragé.
Les sanitaires sont suffisant pour du camping. (Pas de luxe mais très bien pour du camping)
La piscine a été très appréciée (a noté un peu fraîche)
Dommage que l'enclos d'animaux est été vide pour les enfants.
L'air de jeux, terrain de foot et mini golf ont été appréciés également.
La mise a disposition d'une machine à laver nous a servi (seche linge aussi a disposition (pas servi))
Dépôt de pain et vente de glace.
Le lac et la base de loisirs juste en face est très positif également.
Point extérieur négatif : magasins, tabac etc.. à 11km. (Le camping pas en faute)
Et je pense qu'un chenil à chien doit se trouver a proximité qui peut parfois être désagréable (le camping pas en faute non plus)
Je recommande ce camping et est très heureux de ma semaine (famille de 8 personnes de 2 a 67 ans)
