Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce camping ! L’accueil est chaleureux, les emplacements sont propres et bien entretenus, et les équipements (piscine, aire de jeux, restaurant) sont parfaits pour toute la famille. L’ambiance générale est très agréable. Le seul petit bémol concerne la proximité des mobil-homes : un soir, un groupe de jeunes a fait un peu trop la fête, mais heureusement, un vigile est intervenu rapidement pour rétablir le calme. Cela montre que la tranquillité des vacanciers est bien prise en compte. Un vrai coin de nature où l’on se sent bien. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir ! ;-) A Bientôt,

Si vous êtes un groupe d’amis venus profiter d’un week-end fun : fuyez ! Camping totalement inadapté pour les groupes. Ambiance ultra rigide, aucune tolérance pour un peu de musique ou de rire passé 21h. On s’est clairement sentis surveillés comme des ados en colonie. Aucune activité proposée, pas même un coin animé Tout est figé ! La piscine ? pas chauffée, et sans surveillance donc peu engageante et potentiellement dangereuse Accueil peu chaleureux Bref, si vous cherchez du calme extrême pour faire la sieste, c’est peut-être pour vous Mais pour passer un bon moment entre amis, passez votre chemin Il y a bien mieux ailleurs !
