Because this campground deserves a comprehensive review; What a wonderful campsite!!! We stayed in a tent of Villatent, complete with plumbing in it (recommended!) So I can not judge about the pitches and camping plumbing. That aside, the campsite really gets a big 5 stars from us! Friendly staff, with Sven as Dutch contact; Enthusiastic hard worker and always present, especially with activities/entertainment so this is both in Dutch and French. In the restaurant you can eat and drink well, also get fresh bread in the morning. The pools all have a different temperature (most are heated) so there is something for everyone and if the weather is not so good you can always go to the heated indoor pool. The lagoon is a really nice addition. Nice to play with the soft sand, shallow water so especially fun for kids up to 8 years. The campground is rich with large Sequoia trees, which provide plenty of shade and it's like camping in a forest. As for activities, there is something to do every day, from bocce ball to tree climbing and canoeing. The evening entertainment, yes there is some noise 2 or 3 times a week. Then a nice band plays, a foam party for the kids or a music quiz, all sorts of things are organized. We were surprised how nice and cozy it was every time, and enjoyed the music just as much when we were not really 'there'. Neither we nor our kids of 4 and 6 were bothered by it while sleeping. But if you want silence after 22:00 this is not the right campsite. Evening entertainment (other than dancing for kids at 19:00) is a bit late by the way, usually from 21:30. In the morning there is a children's program of a few hours (NL-FR). On the campsite there is an even mix of French and Dutch guests. The surroundings are beautiful. Just for driving. Most attractions are at least 45min drive though. Supermarket by the way nearest at 20 min. The sunsets you see from the (higher) campsite are beautiful! As are the views if you are at the edge of the campground, and at the lagoon. Just one downside; there is no central parking lot. Cars must be parked on your pitch anyway, and given the somewhat small pitches for caravans etc, you are sometimes forced to put them right in your view. (Villatent pitches were big enough, though). It's pretty obvious I guess, there is nothing that disappointed us. Highly recommended! :)

Omdat deze camping een uitgebreide review verdiend; Wat een heerlijke camping!! Wij verbleven in een tent van Villatent, compleet met sanitair erin (aanrader!) dus ik kan niet oordelen over de kampeerplaatsen en camping sanitair. Dat daargelaten krijgt de camping van ons echt een dikke 5 sterren! Vriendelijk personeel, met Sven als Nederlands aanspreekpunt; Enthousiaste harde werker en altijd aanwezig, vooral bij activiteiten/animatie dus dit is zowel in Nederlands als Frans. In het restaurant kun je lekker eten en borrelen, 's ochtends ook vers brood halen. De zwembaden hebben allemaal een andere temperatuur (de meesten zijn verwarmd) voor ieder wat wils dus en bij minder weer kun je altijd in het verwarmde overdekte zwembad terecht. De lagune is echt een hele leuke toevoeging. Lekker met het zachte zand spelen, ondiep water dus met name leuk voor kids tot een jaar of 8. De camping is rijk aan grote Sequoia's, die zorgen voor veel schaduw en het is net of je in een bos kampeert. Wat betreft activiteiten is er iedere dag wel wat te doen, van jeu de boules tot boompje klimmen en kanoën. De avondanimatie, ja daar komt wel wat geluid vandaan 2 á 3x per week. Dan speelt er een leuk bandje, een schuimparty voor de kids of een muziekquiz, er wordt vanalles georganiseerd. Wij waren verrast hoe leuk en gezellig dat iedere keer weer was, en genoten bij de tent net zo goed van de muziek als we er niet echt 'bij' waren. Zowel wij als onze kids van 4 en 6 hadden er geen last van met slapen. Maar wil je stilte na 22:00 is dit niet de juiste camping. Avondanimatie is (buiten het dansen voor kids om 19:00) overigens wel wat laat, meestal vanaf 21:30. In de ochtend is er een kinderprogramma van een paar uurtjes (NL-FR). Op de camping is een evenredige mix van Franse en Nederlandse gasten. De omgeving is prachtig. Alleen al om te rijden. De meeste bezienswaardigheden zijn wel minimaal 45min rijden. Supermarkt overigens dichtstbijzijnde op 20 min. De zonsondergangen die je ziet vanaf de (hoger gelegen) camping zijn prachtig! Evenals het uitzicht als je aan de rand van de camping staat, en bij de lagune. Eén enkel minpuntje; er is geen centrale parkeerplaats. Auto's moeten dus zowiezo op je kampeerplek, en gezien de wat kleine plekken voor caravans etc, ben je soms genoodzaakt deze recht in je uitzicht te zetten. (Villatent plaatsen waren wel groot genoeg) Het is wel duidelijk denk ik, er is niets wat ons tegenviel. Dikke aanrader! :)

Very, very disappointed after the filming of the "large family" show. We were assaulted by the film crew. They literally ruined our stay while we were sitting peacefully in the campsite lagoon. I recently sent a message to the campsite but got no reply. No commercial gestures! Shame on them!

Vraiment très très déçu après le tournage de l'émission de "famille nombreuse". On a été agressé par l équipe de tournage. Ils nous ont gâchés littéralement notre séjour alors que l'on était installé tranquillement au lagon du camping. J'ai envoyé un message récemment au camping mais aucune réponse de leur part. Aucuns gestes commerciales! Une honte!

We had an excellent stay at the Sunelia Le Séquoia campsite. The site is very well maintained, the facilities are modern and clean, and the staff are always smiling and available. The friendly, family atmosphere makes for a really enjoyable vacation. The only minor point for improvement is that the pitches are a little close together, leaving little privacy from neighbors. But that's a minor detail compared with the overall quality of the stay. We recommend without hesitation!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au camping Sunelia Le Séquoia. Le site est très bien entretenu, les équipements sont modernes et propres, et l’équipe est toujours souriante et disponible. L’ambiance est conviviale et familiale, ce qui rend les vacances vraiment agréables. Seul petit point à améliorer : les emplacements sont un peu proches les uns des autres, ce qui laisse peu d’intimité avec les voisins. Mais cela reste un détail face à la qualité globale du séjour. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !

This is our 2nd stay at Sunêlia Séquoia and it's always perfect! The lagoon and swimming pools are great for children (even with a bit of grey weather, there are heated pools), the restaurant was very good and the entertainment and entertainers very nice for our eldest daughter aged 4 (she loved the mini disco and the foam party). the two visits to the goat farm and ducks offered by the campsite were really great, she was able to feed the animals and even milk a goat, the breeders were really passionate and adorable with children. A great stay!
