Camping de l'Ill - Colmar

-

-

Spent an idyllic 3 nights on a riverside pitch - very relaxing and quiet watching the birds, butterflies and fish. Just what we needed to get into holiday mode. Facilities were modern and clean - pool area not too crowded. Nice bistro/bar - limited menu but nice enough. Easy access to Colmar centre - recommended. Thank you

Our parcelle was good, we had plenty of space. The reception was very friendly and we were given enough information about the place, bread service etc.. By bus to Colmar, about 10 min is perfect.

Quiet site, although the traffic noise from nearby Autoroute was louder than anticipated (easily sorted with earplugs). Clean site - toilets and showers were cleaned twice a day. However there is no hand drying facility - ok in the summer, but the winter...brrr. Also, and this just me I suppose, I am not keen on unisex toiles and showers. The chemical toilet disposal was one of the worst I have seen in a long while. No where near as clean as the general toilets. Onsite facilities are good - bar/cafe/restaurant. Pool. Bakery ordering available (although it is not far if you want to to the local bakery). Where we were we had good size pitch but other areas seemed very crammed. You may need a loooong lead for the electric hookup. Water is available at the entrance but unlike what we were told by the lady in reception getting water to your unit on pitch is very difficult with no access to water if you do not have a barrel and even then it it is very difficult to fill. People mostly respectful to others. You always get the odd one though that has a dog that barks at 4:00 am! The walk into Colmar old city took us about 25 minutes once we got to the site exit. Boring walk but worth the effort. In the other direction is a good bakery (mentioned) and wine shop but not much else. All in all a good site, clean, well positioned.

We booked a châlet Colombia for 3 nights. It's very spacious, recent, well-equipped, with a large terrace and a large bay window. As far as the campsite services are concerned, unfortunately the swimming pool closes at 7pm, which is too early, especially in very hot weather. We would have greatly appreciated it if the campsite had adapted the pool hours to the situation, especially as it was very busy at the time of closing.
