What a beautiful campground! Huge campsites, close to nature, right in the middle of a pine forest, with a pool and padel courts included. Direct access to the large lake. Concerts in the evening. 5 stars! The only things that could be better: the long line in the morning to get baguettes (maybe hire one more staff member?) and the lack of internet (only unstable Wi-Fi at the restaurant and weak reception for mobile data).

An excellent campground with all the ingredients for a great time: lakeside location, nearby beaches, bike paths, wide-open spaces, authenticity, and simplicity. The staff is very friendly. Thank you.

We’re currently staying at this campground:
. The positives are the location near the lake and the ocean, and the man who came to set up our tarp for us—hence the two stars.
. Otherwise, we’ve been looking for a campground since last week to come see the eclipse on the coast. And for many places, booking just four nights in peak season isn’t possible. But we chose this one because, during the three calls we made before arriving, they assured us they had two side-by-side sites in the shade—the last call was at 11:30 a.m., and we were due to arrive at 2:00 p.m.
We arrived and saw that the two side-by-side sites were right by the road—one overlooking the parking lot on one side and the other in the sun. The nice lady at the front desk told us not to worry; there’s no traffic at night. That’s not true—there’s no garbage truck traffic between 11:30 p.m. and 6:45 a.m. After that, there are also cars, and especially in the morning, delivery trucks.
I ran into the nice lady at the front desk (who had told us that nonsense) in the restrooms at 7:15 a.m., and I told her—complaining, of course—that she was wrong, that there was traffic. She replied that I was being unreasonable to complain to her—it was 7:00 a.m., and she wasn’t on duty yet; I could complain starting at 8:00 a.m. at the front desk.
So I understand that August is a busy time, but between the lack of explanation about the roadside situation over the phone and the claims that there’s no traffic on the road at night, I still feel like I’m being ripped off for my 350 euros for four nights.
