    Very disappointed with the mobile home.
    Ants everywhere on the countertop; the only solution was a can of ant killer that didn’t work at all.
    The shower couldn’t be adjusted to the right temperature—it was either too hot or too cold.
    As for the entertainment, the activity leaders tried to attract people to activities for all ages, but no one participated.
    Not a family-friendly campground.

    Mobil home très déçu.
    Des fourmis partout sur le plan de travail, le seul traitement une boîte pour les fourmis qui ne fait rien du tout.
    Douche impossible de régler la bonne température soit trop chaud ou trop froid.
    Niveau animation les animatrices essaye attirer du monde pour les activités petit ou grand et personne ne participe.
    Pas un camping pour les familles.

    We discovered this campground and are absolutely delighted with it. The service—both over the phone and on-site—was impeccable. We were given a mobile home that was even better than the one we’d booked, since our grandson came with us. The one we had had air conditioning and three bedrooms, and was very well located, not far from the pool and the playground. The campground is very quiet and close to everything—the ocean, the center of Arès, and Bassin Beach. Thanks again to the whole team for your kindness, and we’ll definitely see you again soon. Cathy, Jean-Paul, and Hugo.

    Découverte de ce camping et nous en sommes ravis. Accueil aussi bien téléphonique que sur place impeccable. Nous avons eu un mobil home encore mieux que celui prévu puisque notre petit-fils est venu avec nous. Celui que nous avions avait la clim et 3 chambres et était très bien situé pas loin de la piscine et des jeux. Le camping est très calme et à proximité de tout aussi bien de l'océan que du centre d'Arès ou de la plage du bassin. Encore merci à toute l'équipe pour votre gentillesse et à très bientôt sûrement. Cathy, Jean-Paul et Hugo.

    A pleasant, calm, and peaceful campground.... Air conditioning would have been a nice little extra, but it was fine.
    Great welcome—top-notch! The staff in their “little golf cart” were friendly.
    A special shout-out to the woman who welcomed me on the day I arrived and did the walk-through.
    Keep up the good work!

    A small, quiet, and peaceful campground. The campground has spacious sites, and you can choose between a sunny or a shaded spot.

    Clean restroom facilities; the shower temperature is adjustable. Toilet paper is provided.

    A very warm and informative welcome at the reception desk, where you can also order bread.

    The restaurant has a limited menu, and we were a bit unlucky to be served a spoiled salad, but the issue was resolved.

    There is also a nice swimming pool

    Lille stille og rolig campingplads. Campingpladsen har rummelige pladser, og det er muligt at vælge enten et solrigt eller et skyggefuldt sted.

    Ren toiletblok; brusertemperaturen kan justeres. Der er toiletpapir.

    Meget dejlig og informativ velkomst I receptionen, hvor det også er muligt at bestille brød.

    Restauranten har en begrænset menu og vi var lidt uheldige at få serveret rådden salat, fik dog talt os til rette.

    Der findes også en fin swimmingpool

    The staff who welcomed us were very friendly and welcoming. The same goes for the ladies who maintain the restrooms. In fact, the cleaning is impeccable. I can’t give it a 5 because of a few minor issues. The open campsites and mobile homes are all mixed together (a trailer might be surrounded by two mobile homes). The sites are small and often in the sun. You can clearly hear the county road that runs behind the campground, unlike the one in front.

    Très bon accueil et sourire des personne qui nous accueillent . Il en est de même avec les dames qui font l'entretien des sanitaires. D'ailleurs le ménage est parfait. La note ne peut pas être à 5 du fait de quelques points faibles. Les emplacements nus et les mobiles home sont tous mélangés (une caravane peut être entourée de 2 mobiles homes. Les emplacements sont petits et souvent au soleil. On entend bien la route départementale qui passe derrière le camping contrairement à celle de devant.
