    This campground is very well-equipped and impeccably clean. Services were provided just as they are during peak season, even though we were there on a Sunday at the end of the season. The management of this campground goes out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.
    I highly recommend it.

    For years now, we’ve found exactly what we’re looking for there: a beautifully situated campground with a heated pool and superb restroom facilities. But above all, the wonderful atmosphere and ambiance! The campground’s owners, Sylvain and Nolwenn, do an excellent job of making sure visitors have a great time.
    The campground is situated in a … highly undulating area that’s perfect for cycling. Popular nearby towns include Aubeterre and Brantome. Aubeterre is best known for its church carved out of the rock. A visit to St. Jean de Cole to the north and Bourdeille to the south of Brantome is well worth the trip.
    It certainly doesn’t surprise us that, in all the years we’ve been going to Le Petit Lion, we often see people returning just as we do.

    Wij vinden daar al jaren wat we zoeken: een mooi gelegen camping met verwarmd zwembad en prachtig sanitair. Maar vooral de fijne sfeer en ambiance! De eigenaren van de camping Sylvain en Nolwenn slagen er uitstekend in om het de bezoekers naar 't zin te maken.
    De camping ligt in een sterk golvend gebied waar het uitstekend fietsen is. Veel bezochte nabij gelegen plaatsen zijn Aubeterre en Brantome. Aubeterre is vooral bekend om zijn in de rotsen uitgehouwen kerk. Een bezoek aan St. Jean de Cole ten noorden en Bourdeille ten zuiden van Brantome is meer dan de moeite waard.
    Het verbaast ons zeker niet dat wij in al die jaren dat wij naar Le Petit Lion gaan vaak mensen zien terugkomen net zoals wij dat doen.
