We spent about ten days at the campground; we were made to feel very welcome, and we received plenty of information about the region and things to do. It was very peaceful—we visited in mid-September. It’s a very family-friendly campground—well-maintained, clean, and the amenities (fresh pastries in the morning, games available, heated pool) are … top-notch! There’s also a Super U just a 5-minute drive away.
A quick shout-out to the campground’s two best residents—the owners’ two cats—they deserve an extra star…
We had a wonderful stay—thank you 🙏🏻this is a translation, click here for the original
Nous avons passé une dizaine de jours dans le camping, nous avons été très bien accueillis, nous avons eu beaucoup d’explications sur la région et les activités à faire, c’était très calme, nous sommes venus mi septembre. C’est un camping qui fait très familial, il est bien entretenu, propre, les services proposés (viennoiseries le matin, jeu à disposition, piscine chauffée) sont au top! Il y a aussi un Super U à 5 min en voiture.
Petit clin d’œil aux deux meilleurs résidents du camping, les deux chats des propriétaires, ça mériterait une étoile en plus ..
Très bon séjour, merci 🙏🏻 -
