    Ideal in April for a relaxing break. There weren't many people around, so we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet. The restaurant was open, but we only tried the take-away fries. The pool is closed at this time of year, hence my note for the service. The staff at reception are friendly and smiling. In terms of location, the campsite is situated on a busy road, so you can hear the traffic quite a lot. The town center is about 20/25 min away on foot, with a bakery, a pizzeria (Astropizza pizzas) and a small Carrefour City. Continue a little further (another 10 min) and you'll come to the edge of the Bassin (remember to check the tide times). Alternatively, a few minutes' drive will take you to the Leclerc shopping center, a Lidl and even a McDonald's. In terms of mobile homes, we had one for 4 people with air-conditioning: a master bedroom with a large 160cm bed (which leaves little space around the bed) and a small dressing room, and a bedroom with two 80cm beds and a small wardrobe and some hangers. The kitchen is well equipped: fridge with freezer, 4-burner hob, kettle, toaster and, on our arrival, a Nespresso coffee-maker which we asked to be changed for a filter one. The change was made (certainly because we were out of season), and the height of luxury on vacation: there's even a dishwasher. On the other hand, don't forget to bring your consumables; there were only 2 coffee pods, 1 dishwasher tablet, 1 rubbish bag and 1 roll of toilet paper. The bathroom has a shower, plenty of storage space and a washbasin with mirror. The toilet has a window and opens onto the covered terrace. Our mobile home also had a plancha, an extendable table with chairs for eating al fresco, and two deckchairs that I didn't find very comfortable. A great discovery for this campsite at this time of year, but I don't think I'd enjoy it as much in July or August...

    Idéal en avril pour un séjour de déconnexion. Il n'y avait pas grand monde, nous avons donc pu profiter du calme. Le restaurant était ouvert, mais nous n'avons testé que les frites à emporter. La piscine est fermée à cette période-là, d'où ma note pour le service. L'équipe à l'accueil est accueillante et souriante. Au niveau de l'emplacement, le camping est situé sur une route assez passante et on entend pas mal les voitures. Le centre-ville se trouve à environ 20/25 min à pied, avec boulangerie, pizzeria (coup de cœur pour les pizzas d'Astropizza) et un petit Carrefour City. En continuant un peu (10 min de plus), vous arriverez au bord du Bassin (pensez à vérifier l'heure des marées). Sinon, vous avez à quelques minutes en voiture le centre commercial Leclerc, un Lidl et même un McDonald's. Côté mobil-home, nous en avions un pour 4 personnes avec climatisation : une chambre parentale avec un grand lit en 160 (ce qui laisse peu de place autour du lit) avec un petit dressing, et une chambre avec deux lits en 80 munie d'une petite armoire et de quelques cintres. La cuisine est bien équipée : frigo avec partie congélateur, plaque 4 feux, bouilloire, grille-pain et, à notre arrivée, une cafetière Nespresso que nous avons demandé à changer pour une cafetière à filtre. La modification a pu être faite (certainement car nous étions hors saison), et comble du luxe en vacances : il y a même un lave-vaisselle. Par contre, pensez à prendre vos consommables ; il n'y avait que 2 dosettes de café, 1 pastille de lave-vaisselle, 1 sac poubelle et 1 rouleau de papier toilette. La salle de bain est munie d'une douche, de pas mal de rangements et d'un lavabo avec miroir. Les toilettes ont une fenêtre et donnent sur la terrasse couverte. Sur notre mobil-home, il y avait aussi une plancha, une table extensible avec des chaises pour déjeuner au grand air, ainsi que deux transats que je n'ai pas trouvés très confortables. Une belle découverte pour ce camping à cette période mais je ne pense pas que je l'apprécierais autant en juillet ou août...

    A small campsite that's absolutely perfect. The mobile homes are well laid out and large enough. I will come back again.
